Marine Incidents based on Heinrich's law are very important in preventing accidents. However, marine Incident data are mainly qualitative and are used to prevent similar accidents through case sharing rather than statistical analysis, which can be confirmed in the marine Incident-related data posted in the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal. Therefore, this study derived quantitative results by analyzing the causes of marine incidents during berthing using various methods of statistical analysis. To this end, data involving marine incidents from various shipping companies were collected and reclassified for easy analysis. The main keywords were derived via primary analysis using text mining. Only meaningful words were selected via verification by an expert group, and time series and cluster analysis were performed to predict marine incidents that may occur during berthing. Although the role of an expert group was still required during the analysis, it was confirmed that quantitative analysis of marine incidents was feasible, and iused to provide cause and accident prevention information.

Wave energy generation systems can be divided into oscillating water chamber type, over topping device type and wave activating body type. The wave activating body type converts wave energy to kinetic energy, and the power generation amount increases as the motion of an activating body increases. In this paper, the wave energy convertor consists of a main body, which has an H-shape, and the activating body. These are connected by a bar-type bridge. By the incident wave, when the activating body moves with vertical motion this motion is consequently converted into rotational motion. The twisting moment and angular velocity at a shaft of convertor are calculated according to various conditions of the incident wave and the shape of the activating body. This can be used as a basic idea for determining the design of wave activating body type convertor.

Wave field measurements were made over a period of 18 days to study the spatial distribution of incident wave on seaweed tarm field around Gumil-up Sea, Wando, Korea. These measured data were compared with data from the Geomun-do ocean weather/wave observation buoy. A numerical simulation model that combined the offshore design wave with the seasonal normal incoming wave was used to study the incident wave distribution surrounding a seaweed farm. The results are summarized as follows. (1) On-site wave measurements showed that the major relationship between maximum and significant wave height was $H_{max}=1.6H_{1/3}$. (2) Offshore incident wave energy reaching the coast was greatly influenced by the wind direction. A north wind reduced the incident wave energy and a south wind increased it. (3) The calculated maximum wave height under the design wave boundany conditions was in the range of 4~5 m and the reduction in the incident wave height ratio ranged from approximately 38.1% to 47.6% at Gumil-up Sea. Under normal wave conditions, the maximum wave heights were 3.6~4.0 m in summer and 2.3~2.7 m in winter while the reduction in the incident wave height ratio was about 41.8% to 49.1%. (4) The sea state in the southern area of Gumil-up was the most affected by ocean waves, whereas the sea state in the northern area was very stable. The significant wave ratio in the south was about six times that in the north.

Vortex lock-on or resonance behind a circular cylinder is visualized using a time-resolved PW when a single frequency oscillation is superimposed on the mean incident velocity. For vector processing, a cross-correlation algorithm in conjunction with a recursive correlation and interrogation window shifting techniques is used. Measurements are made of the Karmas and streamwise vertices in the wake-transition regime at Reynolds lumber 360. When lock-on occurs, the vortex shedding frequency is found to be half the oscillation frequency as expected from previous experiments. At the lock-on state, the Karman vortices are observed to be more disordered by the increased strength and spanwise wavelength of the streamwiee vortices, which lead? to a strong three-dimensional motion.

Accurate prediction of wave-structure interactions is important in the safety and design cost effectiveness of fixed and floating offshore structures exposed to extreme environmental conditions. In this study, regular waves and circular column structure interactions for four circular columns in regular waves are analyzed. To simulate 3D two-phase flow, open source computational fluid dynamics libraries, called OpenFOAM, were used. When the four circular columns are arranged in a square array, the interactions according to the incident slopes of the regular waves are analyzed. The wave run-up in the circular column surface was compared according to the slope of the incident wave. It was confirmed that high amplitude waves are generated between the circular columns due to the interaction between the circular column and the incident wave. It is expected that this analytical result will be used as the basic data of the study on the air gap due to the interaction between the structure and incident wave.

This study employs Bayesian network analysis to quantitatively evaluate the risk of incidents in trap boats, utilizing accident compensation approval data spanning from 2018 to 2022. With a dataset comprising 1,635 incidents, the analysis reveals a mortality risk of approximately 0.011 across the entire trap boat. The study significantly identifies variations in incident risks contingent upon fishing area and fishing processes. Specifically, incidents are approximately 1.22 times more likely to occur in coastal compared to offshore, and the risk during fishing processes outweighs that during maintenance operations by a factor of approximately 23.20. Furthermore, a detailed examination of incident types reveals varying incidence rates. Trip/slip incidents, for instance, are approximately 1.36 times more prevalent than bump/hit incidents, 1.58 times more than stuck incidents, and a substantial 5.17 times more than fall incidents. The study concludes by providing inferred mortality risks for 16 distinct scenarios, incorporating fishing areas, processes, and incident types. This foundational data offers a tailored approach to risk mitigation, enabling proactive measures suited to specific circumstances and occurrence types in the trap boat industry.

High speed naval ships are configured with open shafts The shafts, bearings, and propellers are supported by shaft struts. Proper design of struts involves issues of structural, vibration, and hydrodynamic analysis and design. Strut arm cavitation in high speed occurs because of a misalignment of the strut arm with the local incident flow. Proper selection of the strut section can minimize the generation of cavitation. This paper describes issues in the design struts and notices based on the design of Patrol Craft and Amphibious Ship.

Vibration incidents hardly happen when a turbine generator usually installed in LNG carrier is operated, different from diesel engine generator. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an actual vibration incident, which hardly occurred in case of turbine generator, and describe all possible countermeasures to prevent from vibrations during operation.

This study examines experimentally and theoretically, the wave deformation by two large cylindrical structure in relation to the case of one structure. The wave height around the structures varies, according to the changes of the incident wave angles, the number of the structure, and the distances between the two structures. The wave deformation around the large cylindrical structures is shown to be well predicted theoretically by the diffraction theory based on the singular point distribution method using a vertical line wave source Green's function.
