지구 온난화를 방지를 위한 국제적 환경규제가 강화되고 이에 따른 선박의 배기가스 규제가 현실화됨에 따라 친환경 선박의 개발 및 운영이 필수적이다. 따라서 세계적인 친환경 선박의 개발 추세를 분석한 결과 최적으로 고려되는 LNG연료를 사용하는 선박의 효용성을 구체적으로 살펴보고 이의 건조를 위한 IMO 법령 등 국제적 동향을 살펴보았다. 또한 이를 근거로 LNG 연료선박의 국내 도입을 위하여 우리나라 관련 법령의 제정 노력 결과와 선박건조 시범사업을 소개하고 향후 추진해야 할 사항을 점검하였다.

A risk assessment is performed at the initial design stage of LNG-fuelled ships subject to new fuel supply systems due to marine environmental and emissions regulations. Risk assessment involves a series of logical steps that enable systematic risk analysis and evaluation. LNG-fuelled ships mainly consist of a tank for storing LNG, a gas supply unit for supplying LNG to the engine, an engine using LNG as fuel, and a bunkering manifold for receiving LNG. The components of the LNG fuelled ship are determined according to the characteristics, size, rout, and operating distance. Therefore, the risk factors of each ships are different, and the risk analysis also changes. In this study we consider the systems of ships using LNG as a fuel and analyze the risk assessment of certain cases where the actual risk assessment has been carried out.

대기오염배출에 대한 국제적인 규제가 강화됨에 따라 친환경연료로 추진하는 선박의 운항이 늘고 있다. 친환경연료는 기존 연료 대비 대기오염물질 배출이 낮은 연료로 메탄올, 암모니아, 수소, LNG, LPG 등이 이에 포함된다. 이 중 현재 상용화되어 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 연료가 LNG이며, LNG로 추진하는 선박은 통상 LNG 추진선박으로 불리고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 운항되고 있는 LNG 추진선박과 기존 선박의 출력 및 선속을 비교해보고, LNG 추진선박의 출력 동향을 연구할 수 있는 기초연구로 진행되었다. 도출된 결과는 LNG 추진선박의 출력기준을 고찰할 수 있는 기초자료로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

As guidelines for exhaust gases of ship are reinforced by the International Maritime Organization, the necessity for LNG fuelled ship is emerging. The relevant research is actively progressing to develop technologies and promote commercialization. When the residual quantity of LNG fuel tank is less than 70% by consuming fuel during operation, sloshing should be considered. We applied the Type C LNG fuel tank because medium sized LNG fuelled ships are difficult to equip with re-liquefaction system. Structural integrity and thermal performance are very important, especially in LNG fuel tanks that apply to LNG fuelled ship. Through this study, we proposed evaluation procedure of thermal performance for the Type C LNG tank, and verified the validity and effectiveness of BOR(Boil-Off Rate) test Procedure by comparing and analyzing changes in temperature, pressure, BOG(Boil-Off Gas).

As international environmental regulations for pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions discharged from ships are being reinforced, it is drawing attention to use LNG as ship fuel. This paper compares the explosion risk potential in the LNG fuel gas supply systems of two types used in marine LNG fuelled vessels. By selecting 8500 TEU class container ships as target, LNG storage tank was designed and pressure conditions were assumed for the use of each fuel supply type. The leak hole sizes were divided into three categories, and the leak frequencies for each category were estimated. The sizes of the representative leak holes and release rates were estimated. The release rate and the leak frequency showed an inverse relationship. The pump type fuel gas supply system showed high leak frequency, and the pressure type fuel gas supply system showed high release rate. Computational fluid dynamics simulation was applied to perform a comparative analysis of the explosion risk potential of each fuel supply system.

해양 및 대기 오염 방지를 위한 친환경선박에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있고 특히 LNG를 연료로 하는 LNG 연료추진선이 확대되고 있다. 그리고 국내에서도 LNG Bunkering 선박 건조에 지속적으로 추진되고 있다. LNG Bunkering의 안전한 운용을 위해서는 여러 위험요소를 분석해야한다. 그 중에도 LNG Bunkering 작업 중 주변 선박 통항에 따른 안전한 이격거리의 확보 또한 중요한 사항이지만 이에 대한 연구는 미진한 형태이다. 이에 안전한 이격거리에 대해서 외국 및 국내규정을 검토하였으나 명확한 규정이 없어 이에 대한 분석을 통한 안전하고, 경제적인 이격거리에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 안전한 이격거리에 대해 분석하기 위한 우선적으로 안전한 이격거리에 영향을 미칠 요소에 대해 검토한다.

국제해사기구가 선박배출가스규제지역 내 질산화물 규제를 적용하고 2020년부터는 항해 중인 모든 선박에 황산화물 규제를 적용하기로 하는 등 선박해양오염 규제가 강화되어, 친환경 연료로 운항하는 LNG Fuel Ship에 대한 수요가 높아지고 있다. 이로 인해 LNG 연료공급 시장규모의 성장이 전망되며 관련시설로 해상 부유상태의 FLBT(Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal)의 기술개발과 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구목적은 FLBT 시설의 설치에 적합한 후보지를 선정하는 것이다. 영해 내에 위치하고 설계수심과 수요항만과 접근성이 우수한 후보지의 제시를 위해 LNG Fuel Ship의 입출항 예상항만과 해상시설에 대한 국내외 사례조사 및 사전연구에서 제시된 후보수역에 대한 해상교통조사를 수행하고 심층분석 하였다. 조사 및 분석결과를 바탕으로 수요지 접근성과 항행안전을 고려한 FLBT 최종 후보지를 제시하고자 한다.

Heavy oil used as ship propulsion has a serious issue regarding exhaust emission of global warming. Recently, among large-scale merchant ships are using LNG as green ships so called ech-ships. In this study, an vaporizer and pipes under cryogenic and high pressure load were considered to evaluate structural integrity according to codes. Structural analysis of the vaporizer and pipes was performed using the commercial code, ANSYS. Integrity evaluation of the vaporizer based on von Mises stress was performed in accordance with allowable stress specified in ASME Boiler & Pressure Vesssel Section VIII Division 2. To assess structural integrity of the pipes, stress components were combined and compared with ASME B31.3. The calculated stresses for all load cases are lower than allowable stresses, therefore the structural integrity of equipments are verified.

The number of ships using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel is increasing to respond to the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) air pollutant emission regulations. At the same time, the need to expand LNG bunkering infrastructure for stable fuel supply and demand for ships is emerging. LNG bunkering is carried out in three ways: truck to ship (TTS), pipe to ship (PTS), and ship to ship (STS). In foreign countries, all three methods are being carried out, but in Korea, LNG bunkering is carried out only with the TTS method owing to the lack of infrastructure. LNG bunkering is a high-risk operation. For safe bunkering operations, the competence of the workers is extremely important, and a professional training course is required to strengthen the competence. This study was conducted to design training contents for LNG bunkering workers for fostering LNG bunkering experts and performing safe and systematic bunkering work. To this end, the current status of LNG-fueled ships and bunkering was identified, and related domestic and abroad educational contents were analyzed. In addition, opinions on the importance of educational contents were collected through expert questionnaires. Consequently, we designed training contents suitable for various training targets and divided them into basic and advanced training courses, with a duration of 4 days, and proposed. Based on the designed training contents, if additional research is conducted by sufficiently reflecting Korea's bunkering environment, it will be of great help to improve the competence of LNG bunkering workers and to foster human resources.

Because of emission control of greenhouse gas, shipbuilders, especially those in Korea, are pushing forward to introduce eco-friendly ship-building technology utilizing LNG. However, Technical skills of domestic shipbuilders in manufacturing the cryogenic pump designed to supply LNG for vessels are so low that technical skills for design and manufacturing of core parts are in urgent need. Therefore, This study described about the Rotor as a core part of cryogenic submerged centrifugal pump for ship LNG supply system. We wish to utilize for the basic data to develop the technology for the Rotor as deducing the optimal outcome with the experimental and the analytical methods in material selection.
