A large percentage of maritime accidents in coastal seas are related to small fishing vessels. In order to investigate causes of maritime accidents, it is often necessary to carry out dynamic simulations for the estimation of trajectories and motions of vessels. Initial conditions of vessels such as main dimensions, loading conditions and hydrostatic properties are required for the accurate simulations. Small fishing vessels usually have few records of hydrostatic properties during their fishing operations. Therefore, in this study, estimation procedures for hydrostatic properties of small fishing vessels are proposed. At first, hull form characteristics of Korean small fishing vessels are investigated. Most of vessels have hard-chines and centerline skegs, they have similar hull forms. Bonjean curves of several small fishing vessels whose gross tonnages are below 10 tons are normalized with vessel breadths and depths. Representative bonjean curves are derived from normalized bonjean curves, and a representative hull plan is obtained as well. If the vessel loading conditions such as total weights and centers of gravity are given, fore and aft drafts can be calculated by using the representative bonjean curves with the constraint that weights and buoyancies are in equilibrium. Metacentric heights are also estimated by using the representative hull plan. Drafts and metacentric heights estimated by proposed iterative estimation procedures are compared with actual vessel data, estimated values are in good agreements with actual values. In addition, normalized fore and aft drafts, metacentric heights of vessels can be formulated as the linear functions of normalized total weights and centers of gravity. Empirical formulas of drafts and metacentric heights are proposed, and it is confirmed that the empirical formulas also provide reasonable results, which are similar to the results by iterative estimation procedures with representative bonjean curves and hull plan.

Marine casualties of vessel are said to be in most case caused by human error, but it would be valid for the assumption that the ship is built with high quality and then should be acceptable to the safety standards. It means that the inherent characteristics of a ship should be the first consideration on the safety of ship. Therefore it is basically necessary for navigator to grasp the inherent stability of his ship and ensure that the ship complies with the minimum statutory standards of stability. This study is to realize the stability of the Korean offshore large purseiner varying with loading conditions by the inclining data and some calculations. The author compared the stability of the ship with IMO criteria and domestic rule, and proposed some improvement for the safety of the ship. The results are summarized as follows ; The values of GM of the ship according to the loading condition in navigation satisfy both of the IMO criteria and the domestic rule, but in case of the area under the GZ curves between the heel angles of $30^{\circ}$ and $40^{\circ}$, and the heel angle occuring the maximum righting lever not satisfy the IMO rule at the fishing ground departure and arrival conditions in the haul in net situation. The initial metacentric height of the ship is very large, but the range of stability and the occurring angle of the maximum GZ are very small, so even small inclining can bring about the beam end. The best method of improvement for that is to increase the freeboard of the model among the variables.

The inherent efficiency of a ship would be prior to any other quality factors in ship's safety, because lack of it may give rise to a serious sea casuality even if it were a light mistake in operation. And the representative casualty comes from a deficiency of stability and an operating error combined would be capsizing. The Korean offshore large purseiner looks to have a structural weak point with small range of stability in spite of her big initial metacentric height, and have various type of roll reduction devices in order to cover up the defect. The aim of this study is to grasp for the roll reduction characteristics of the purseiner with bilge keel only and a stern keel additionally attached. The results are summarized as follows; The rolling angle of the model ship was increased in accordance with increase of the wave period and height, especially at close to the natural wave period of her, and the trends were more distinguished in the situation of bilge keel only installation than in the stern keel additionally installed. And stern keel has not noticeable effect on the reduction of the roll in the light ship condition, but has a little effect in full load condition.

연근해에서의 선박 전복사고는 소형 어선에서 많이 발생한다. 소형 어선의 전복사고를 예방하기 위해서는 초기설계 단계에서부터 복원성을 평가하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 초기설계 단계에서 확보할 수 있는 정보는 제한적이어서 신뢰성 있는 복원성을 평가하는 데 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초기설계 단계에서 추정할 수 있는 KM, KG, 트림을 활용하여 소형 어선의 횡메타센터(GM)를 추정하고, 표준어선형의 안전성 평가 기준에서 제시된 최소횡메타센터(GMmin)와의 차이를 비교하여 복원성을 평가하는 방안을 제안하였다. 한국해양안전교통공단에서 제공하는 복원성 평가프로그램인 K-SHIP을 사용한 Hydrostatics 특성 계산에서 요구되는 트림을 도출하기 위해 상용 CFD 프로그램인 STAR-CCM+를 이용하여 어선 선형에 따른 초기 상태 트림을 추정하였으며, K-SHIP을 사용하여 어선 선형에 대한 Hydrostatics 특성을 계산하여 GM을 추정하였다. 그리고 GM과 GMmin의 비교를 통해 만재출항상태의 복원성을 비교하였다. 실적선을 기준선으로 선정하여 본 연구에서 제안한 복원성 평가 방안을 적용해 복원성을 평가하고 그 타당성을 검증하였다. 결과적으로 4.99톤 어선의 대표적인 선형과 이를 활용해 도출한 모듈 선형 9개의 복원성을 평가하였고, 이중 상대적으로 복원성이 우수한 선형을 선정하였다.
