The potential pollution problems resulting from tanker collision necessitate the requirement for an effective structural design and the development of relevant safety regulation. During a few decades, the great effort has been made by International Maritime Organization and the Administration, etc, to reduce oil spillage from collision accidents. However there is still a need for investigation in the light of structural evaluation method for the experiments and rational analysis, and design development for an operational purpose of ships. This study is aimed at investigating a complicated structural response of bow structures of oil carriers for assessing the energy dissipation and crushing mechanics of striking vessel through a methodology of the numerical analysts for the various models and its design changes. Through this study an optimal bow construction absorbing great portion of kinetic energy in the least penetration depth prior to reach to the cargo area and an effective location of collision bulkhead are investigated. In order to obtain a rational results in this study, three stages of response analysis procedures are performed as follows; 1). 16 simplified ship models are used to investigate the structural response against bow collision with variation of primary and secondary members. Mass and speed are also varied in two conditions. 2). 21 models conisted of 5 size of full scaled oil carriers are used to perform the collision simulation with the various sizes and deadweight delivered in a recent which are complied with SOLAS and MARPOL. 3). 36 models of 100k oil carrier are used to investigate the structural response and its influence to the collision bulkhead against bow collision in variation with location of collision bulkhead, primary mombers, framing system and colliding conditions, etc.

Sea casualties may happen in ship, cargo and the others concerned with sea transportation. : the shipo-wer, marine insurer and salvage company have been endeavored to compensate salvage award with some rule and regulation such as Marine Insurance Act, York Antwerp Rules and Average adjustment rules. Once sea casualties happened, the salvage contract is established between the owners, marine insurance and salvage company, the contract are divided into so many kinds of them. In this paper, we have an analysis on the character of the salvage contract whether the characteristic contents of them are in benefit to any party or not. In this connection with these positive or negative character of the contract, it is worthwhile to compare the actual salvage expenses contract with no cure no pay contract. LOF 1990 has been revised recently, which is based on no cure no pay, expecially, the special compensation, safety net clause of LOF 1990 could be understood in the view of the prevention of sea pollution and the preservation of sea circumstances in the world. Salvage has the complicated and quality, because the adjustment of almost salvage charges have been treated through the other sea casualties which is accompanied by and mixed with. Besides of the importance of salvage contracts, we are in need to understand that what the diversified character of salvage charges are. Furthermore the owners should carefully select the insured conditions on Hull Insurance according to the type of his company, operating ocean route, loading cargo and etc. In this paper, we would try to analyze the character of the salvage award such as General Average, Sue and Labour Charges and Particular charges. We would like to propose that the uniformed system of the salvage award. Compensation should be built up for the effective and efficient salvage operation and for reducing the claims and conflicts from the concerned parties. To this end, we could expect that the uniformed system for salvage award compensation will come to be the benefit of all owners, insurers, salvage company.

Since IMO(International Maritime Organization, hereafter IMO) has decided the Wing-In-Ground craft as one of the ships, A few regulations and recommendations have been revised and approved internationally and domestically. However, the navigation rules considering types and navigation characteristics to secure the safe navigation of Wing-In-Ground craft are not sufficient and especially, there are no navigation rule between Wing-In-Ground crafts. In this situation, it is judged that the navigation rules related to the Wing-In-Ground crafts in any condition of visibility should be moved to the section of the ones in sight of one another to define the responsibilities between WIG and other vessels, and the new regulation, which Type 'B' and 'C' WIGs should avoid Type 'A' WIG, has to be established to ensure the safe navigation between WIGs on the current laws.

During the past several decades, the development of the maritime policy have been focused on the level of regulation based on the lessons from the individual accidents. Recently, the development of IMO e-navigation strategy has been discussed actively and has been focusing on the new frame and architecture based on the user requirements and definition of function and services for user requirements, which might produce the user-friendly policy, infrastructure and user service. For the new maritime ICT policy getting fusion of ICT and innovation of ship/ocean industry, the overarching methodology, as IMO e-navigation strategy, should be applied to primarily setup the architecture from the user requirements to technology. In this paper, we analyze the IMO e-navigation strategy procedure and provide the consideration and lessons for the strategic methodology to develop a new maritime ICT policy.

In this study, the basic data were collected for improving the amenity of indoor environment of a super yacht and the performance of indoor environment was analyzed by utilizing measured data during summer period. Through the results of examination, the following conclusions are drawn. 1) It is estimated that, in case of closing the door of Saloon connected with outside, there is little inflow of exhaust gas, but when the door is open, the indoor-air might be polluted so fast. Therefore, it is necessary to make a counter plan about the method of ventilation and amount of ventilation to keep the indoor aerial environment agreeable. 2) It is urgent to conceive countermeasure against engine noise because the noise level of all rooms exceeds 60dB, which is regulation of noise for protecting crew established in ship's classification, during the sailing. 3) State cabin and Guest cabin are super cooled by operating air conditioner exceeding agreeableness extent and it is needed to prevent them.

Bottom plates of empty hold are subjected to not only water pressure but also bi-axial inplane loads, specially in the alternate full loading full loading condition of bulk carrier. This kind of plate behaviours is very difficult to be explained and to be estimated using common buckling design guide in the initial design stage of hull structure, therefore, some more concrete studies for this plate structure was performed based on the currently developed buckling estimation formula. In this buckling formula, torsional stiffness effects of edge stiffener are included additionally and effects of elastic buckling strength of plate panel are treated as characteristic value problem. Also considering boundary stiffener effects and inplane and lateral loading, evaluation of bottom plate scantling using this formula, calculated results using various classification regulation of buckling strength and results of first report approach are compared each other and useful guides using developed formula for bottom plate scantling design are discussed.

This study is aming at analysing the current trend of container shipping industry before and after COVID-19 Pandemic circumstances. Also, this study offers the political implications for 'the Korean Shipping Nation Rebuilding'. As a result of this study, the several global shipping lines have decreased their ship capacity in response to International Maritime Organization(IMO)'s environmental regulation. This finding is differ from the media reports, that is many shipping companies increased idling vessel to match the lower demand induced COVID-19 pandemic. This study also provides the two implications of the direction about Korean shipping policy. The first one is that the casual relationship of over-vessels' supply and Korea shipping policy is needed to be thoroughly analyzed. The importance of Koreans shipping industry is generally devaluated by most citizens so as to the Korean government should develop the mass media contents to enlighten the less wellknown people regarding shipping industry.

CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) is composed of carbon fiber and plastic resin, and is approximately 20 - 50% lighter than metallic materials. CFRP has a low density, higher specific stiffness, specific strength, and high corrosion resistance. Because of these excellent properties, which meet various regulation conditions needed in the industrial fields, CFRP has been widely used in many industries including aviation and ship building. However, CFRP reveals water absorption in water immersion or high humidity environments, and water absorption occurs in an epoxy not carbon fiber, and can be facilitated by higher temperature. Since these properties can induce volume expansion inside CFRP and change the internal stress state and degrade the chemical bond between the fiber and the matrix, the mechanical properties including bond strength may be lowered. This study focused on the effects of NaCl concentration (0.01 - 1% NaCl) and solution temperature ($30-75^{\circ}C$) on the galvanic corrosion between CFRP and A516Gr.55 carbon steel. When NaCl concentration increases 10 times, corrosion rate of a specimen was not affected, but that of galvanic coupled carbon steel increased by 46.9% average. However, when solution temperature increases $10^{\circ}C$, average corrosion rate increased approximately 22%, regardless of single or galvanic coupled specimen.

In offshore plants, various equipments including cranes and davits are used for safety management. Hydraulic cylinder type actuators are mainly used for luffing operations such as cranes and davits. However, in the case of a cylinder using hydraulic pressure, a separate power pack is required to supply hydraulic pressure. When used for a long time, maintenance costs such as sticking of hydraulic valves, contamination of hydraulic oil and deterioration of hydraulic hoses occur. In addition, a lot of hydraulic oil is used in the handling of cranes and davits, which causes marine pollution due to management problems. As a result, as interest in marine pollution prevention has increased recently, interest in actuators that do not use hydraulic pressure is also increasing. Therefore, in this study, we intend to develop a davit with an electric cylinder type actuator that uses electricity rather than hydraulic pressure by the SOLAS regulation. In other words, the conceptual design of the davit driven through the linear motion of the ball screw using electricity is performed, and the structural safety of the drive is also reviewed so that it can be utilized in the industrial field.

Recently, domestic leisure boats have been actively researching eco-friendly product development to enter the global market. Since the hulls of existing leisure boats are mainly made of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) or aluminum, design techniques for securing structural safety by applying related materials have been mainly studied. In this study, an initial structural design safety assessment of a trimaran pontoon leisure boat with a modular hull structure and eco-friendly high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material was conducted, and sensitivity evaluation and optimization analysis for lightweight design were performed. The initial structural design safety assessment was carried out by creating a finite element analysis model and applying the loading conditions specified in the ship classification regulation to check whether the specified allowable stresses are satisfied. For the sensitivity evaluation, the influence of stress and weight of each hull structural member was evaluated using the orthogonal array design of experiments method, and an approximate model based on the response surface method was generated using the results of the design of experiments. The optimization analysis set the thickness of the hull structural members as the design variable and considered the optimal design formulation to minimize the weight while satisfying the allowable stress. The algorithm of the optimization analysis applied the Gradient-population Based Optimizer (GBO) to improve the accuracy of the optimal solution convergence while reducing the numerical cost. Through this study, the optimal design of a newly developed eco-friendly trimaran pontoon leisure boat with a weight reduction of 10% was presented.
