  • In this study the writer would like to study the art of navigation in the Era of Silla. For the purpose of this study, the writer studied ship's log book of Ennin's Diary, the ancient ship's structures of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, winds and ocean currents around Korean Peninsular which effect the navigation of sailing ship, and ancient reference books and materials. The result of this study. in the ship's structure in the Era of Silla. bottom structure is considered flat and V-Shaped type, and sailing ship had anchor, sail, considerable deckhouse, transverse bulkhead. And the ship's main materials of sailing ship was wood. partially used irons in the panting structures. In the art of navigation, navigators used winds, ocean current, anchor, sail, depth and color of sea water, lights, ballast. Especially navigators used astrologers and geomancers for astronomical observation, weather forecast, natural phenomena.

  • According to 2008 statistics, there is a need for sailing lookout to minimize the ships collision that caused a secondary damage such as environment pollution and it happened 25 percentage rate. The aim of this study is to construct the object targeting system for notifying the sailing and ship information as monitoring the marine with CCTV having a zoom, rotation, and tile function. In this study we expected to induce the safety sailing by offering the CCTV automatic treatment.

  • Objective: In this study, virtual reality was adopted to consider ergonomic factors in yacht design. Virtual human which is the same actual human was created in virtual environment using Digital Human Modeling which has been used in the manufacturing communities to design better workplaces and maximize the safety of workers. Background: During the past 40 years yachting has expanded from being, generally speaking, a minority sport - too expensive for the large majority of people - into a major recreational activity practiced by millions all over the world. Many new yacht designs have appeared and number of professional, as well as amateur designers has increased steadily. But they had not considered ergonomic factors in yacht design. Method: Worker's posture, traffic line and workload had been analyzed in sailing yacht. After the caution level was evaluated, we pointed out clues which had high workload and interference. To reduce workload, we applied ergonomic principles for improving working conditions and environments in Digital Human Model. Results: We found the space problems and workload of postures. Conclusion: (1) Unnatural posture of crews was sustained. (2) Workload that occurs in the human body was overloaded. (3) Crew's work space was very narrow. Application: This study will be applied the new ergonomic design of yacht.

  • The ancient sailing routes between Silla Korea and Tang China have been a hot issue among the researchers. Some assert that the Korean seafarers under Chang Po-go sailed the East China Sea directly from China to the Korean Peninsula with the assistance of mariner's compass on boarding V-shaped vessels in the 9th century. As we all know, Chinese used the mariner's compass in the 11th century and Europeans in the 12th century. In this paper, the author analyzed the maritime meteorological condition for sailing ships to navigate in the East China Sea and retraced the rafting route by Yun in 1997. As the results of analysis, the author confirmed that the maritime meteorological condition might be favorable for the seafarers to be capable of navigating in the East China Sea from China to Korea in June and July. But even the sea condition might be favorable, it must be God's will for the ancient seafarers to reach the Korean Peninsula. On Yun's rafting account, the author found out that there is a difference between the sailing route drawn by Yun himself and the actual drifted route and the raft drifted at 1.7~2.0 knots. This was quite an extraordinary speed considering the unfavorable sea condition and raft itself without keel. In conclusion, the author reaffirms that it was after the year 1068 for the seafarers to navigate in the East China Sea directly from China to Korea without any historical proofs or evidences.

  • A ship propulsion thruster platform which is used by safety sailing takes charge of remote control of a main engine in ship. This system not only guarantees safety and reliable flight sailing but also require remote control technology of a ship. Accordingly, in this paper it deals with a telegraph lever control unit system which is a part of propulsion thruster system as localization technology. Also it makes sure of knowledge and core technology through analysis and designing and developing a telegraph lever control unit system. Moreover, it is sure of acquisition of base technology for integration of a ship propulsion thruster platform.

  • Yangtze River channel is in natural condition for a long time. There are more to be done in grade of navigation and transport. Since 1980's the rate of vessel in JiangSu channel is going up every year, especially for ocean vessels. Meanwhile, the serious factors such as no sailing at night have become a battlement causing the long period for vessels, high cost for shipowners, lower competitiveness for JiangSu ports along the Yangtze River. It also can not meet the port logistic development. After the Ships' Routeing in JiangSu has been carried out. It has improved the safety of navigation in JiangSu area and reduced the risk of pollution or other damage to the marine environment caused by ships colliding or anchoring in or near JiangSu channel. By analyzing, compareing, calculating and model forecasting. The main focus of the paper is put on the study the development of port, channel in JiangSu and efficiency in many fields. Navigation efficiency of the sailing at night; Safety efficiency of reducing the risk by ships; More efficiency of the higher cargo volumes of the other ports in Yangtze River with the increase cargo volume of JiangSu ports along Yangtze River. The purpose of this study is: To get the social and economical efficiency after the Ships' Routeing in JiangSu has been carried out. Also the role of the Ships' Routeing of JiangSu in the development of Port and Channel.

  • Recently, the development of the Marina port is determined as a national plan, and a variety of leisure boats and facilities on the field has been of critical interest. In particular, yachts are designed and produced mostly at small shipbuilding companies and research institute. The regulation and historic data, however, about the safety of structure are not readily available. Therefore, it is required to evaluate the strength of ship structure. This paper deals with the estimation of local strength of 40 feet sailing yacht by using finite element analysis. The forebody, mast and connection parts of a FRP yacht structure are evaluated. In addition, the results are compared with the regulation of Lloyd's register and Korean register.

  • Small vessels of less then 20 tonnage and leisure boats such as motor boats, sailing yachts, water motorcycle, etc have been excluded from the rules and regulations such as Marine Leisure Safety Act, Ship Act and Ship Safety Act for a long time in Korea. As a result, these small vessels and leisure boats have remained within the blind area of maritime safety and environment protection. Among these vessels and boats, some leisure boats such as motor boats of 20 horse power or more(excluding motor boats equipped with engine inside the vehicles), water motorcycles and rubber boats of 30 horse power or more are incorporated into the Marine Leisure Safety Act through the registry, safety inspection, insurance early 2005 in Korea. In relation to the scope of application of the national Acts concerned, I consider the conflicts between Acts and suggest the subordinate enforcement ordinance and regulations.

  • The Maritime Traffic Safety Law of P. R. China has not the legal nature of navigation rule which regulates the vessel traffic directly but has the legal nature of management to ensure the safety and good order of the whale marine traffic. For that reason, the legal status of this Law is a general basic norm for the marine safety regulations rather than a definite enforcement regulation. This Law does not have any clear statements on adaptation of the steering and sailing rules of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, but it can be presumed the Convention would be applied on the viewpoint of the international practice. The subject matter of this Law is easily understandable, because the IMO and shipping countries have already made similar legislation. Since the maritime traffic condition of the P. R. China also has a direct effect upon the Korean coastal waters, it is essential to observe closely the process of enforcement and development of the P. R. China's Maritime Traffic Safety Law.
