It is important to investigate the hull response of a fishing vessel in waves to ensure the safety of it and to keep excellent sea-keeping qualities. For this purpose, we measured the response of fishing vessels in waves using real sea experimental measuring system. We analyze the experimental data by statistical method and spectral analysis to get the characteristics of the response of vessels which have different tonnage. In this real sea experiment, we use three stern trawlers which are the training ship in university. We know that the distribution of experimental response have Gauss distribution and Rayleigh distribution and smaller vessels have larger response.

The eighteenth century in Great Britain was the period of transformation, Great Britain externally experienced several wars intermittently mid internally transformed into the industrial country in the course of the 18th century. British shipowners were faced with short of seamen mainly due to several wars and expansion of shipping tonnage British shipowners tried to solve the mooing problem by decreasing the number of seamen from 22-23 sailors per ship of 100 tonnage in 1710's to 5 in 1810 and increasing seamen's wage from shillings per common seaman per month in the 17th century to 25 shillings in the middle of the 18th century and equation omitted during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. What caused and resulted by specialized shipowners to cope with changeable market situation with flexibility was decrease of the number of seamen per ship and increase of wage.

The emissions of ozone precursors, NOx and VOCs from a biogenic source and port-related sources (ship, shipping container truck, and cargo handling equipment) were estimated in Busan during 2013. Total biogenic isoprene emission in Busan during 2013 was estimated to be $4,434ton\;yr^{-1}$ with the highest emission (e.g., $28ton\;day^{-1}$) in summer using a BEIS method. Seasonal ozone production rates by isoprene ranged from 0.15 (winter) to 2.08 (summer) $ppb\;hr^{-1}$, contributing the predominant portion to ambient ozone levels. Total emissions of NOx and VOCs from ship traversing Busan ports were estimated to be 29,537 and $814ton\;yr^{-1}$, respectively, showing the significant contribution to total NOx emission in Busan. The emissions of ozone precursors were significantly different depending on ship tonnage and port location. Compared to the ship emission, the emissions of NOx and VOCs from the shipping container trucks in Busan were insignificant (2.9% for NOx and 3.9% for VOCs). Total NOx and VOCs emissions from the cargo handling equipment were estimated to be 1,440 and $133ton\;yr^{-1}$, respectively with the predominance of yard tractors.

In the North Pacific Ocean a lot of large waves set up in winter, affected by continued winds and swells owing to severe extratropical cyclones. Under this sea condition, if the ship is about 100,000L/T (in deadweight capacity tonnage), we can't find the danger involved in the ship at sea apparently. But when we compare the seaworthiness of ship's building strength with the stress given to the hull by waves, we can't insist that the former be more stronger than the latter. As a result, VLCC is in danger of destroying and cutting for lack of longitudinal strength in heavy weather. Up to this time, Naval Architects have actively studied the relation between ship's longitudinal strength and waves as a ship's projector; however, actually, they have never made more profound study on the problem of longitudinal strength in relation to navigation. The main puprpose of this thesis is to clarify these vivid actual states of ship's trouble unknown to ship's masters. In this thesis we picked up VLCC Pan Yard, a vessel of Pan Ocean Bulk Carrier company's, as a model ship. And in the North Pacific Ocean, we have chosen for this research the basins where the wind speed and the wave height are greater than average. The data used this thesis are quotes from the "winds and waves of the North Pacific Ocean('64-'73)", and wind speed more than 30 knots was made use of as an ocject of this study. By usinh the ITTC wave spectrum, we found out the significant waves for every 5 knots within the range of 20 knots to 45 knots of wind speed. According to this H1/1000 was calculated. The stress of ship's hull is determined by ship's speed and wave height. We compared the ship's longitudinal strength with a planned wave height by rules of several famous classification societies in the world. In the last analysis, we found out that ship's present planned strength in heavy weather is not enough. Finally we made a graph for avoiding heavy weather, with which we studied safe ship's handling in the North pacafic Ocean in winter.

Despite the fact that Korea is ranked No. 1 in shipbuilding industry, it has encountered limitations in providing domestic ship finance. Therefore, there has been an increased demand for expanding ship finance through domestic financial institutions, which has been mostly discussed by political communities. In particular, the city of Busan has shown its keen interest in the vitalization of ship finance and proposed a plan to specialize in ship finance to promote the financial hub function. In this regard, we investigate the preference of Busan city for several effective policy options that can support the ship finance. Our investigation was carried out by opinion leaders of Busan city through AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. Our results show that Busan city has a strong preference for the establishment of a Ship Finance Corporation which provide policy finance with ship industry only. This is different from preferences of the government and ship finance market.

The term ton is widely used as the unit of the ship's size. Before people used the term ton as the unit of the ship's size, the various terms had been used for indicating the ship's size. For examples, the term ton was used in Western Europe, last in Northern Europe, cantara in Geneva, milliaria in Venice, and carra in Naple respectively. In Asia the rice had been the most important cargo for many centuries. So the term SEOK in Korean or SHI in Chinese was used as the unit of the ship's size. Especially the Chinese used the term LIAO in Chinese or RYO in Korean for indicating the ship's size. As above seen, the different terms had been used for showing the ship's size from places to places. But with the introduction of Moorsom's Tonnage Measurement in the middle of the 19th century and its spread to all over the world, the term ton was become the only unit of ship's size.

Many small vessels such as fishing boats operate in the world's oceans; accordingly, interest in these small vessels' exhaust-gas problem is increasing. Research on the application of electric-propulsion technology has been steadily conducted; however, the subject is limited to research ships or leisure boats, while research on application efficiency remains insufficient. This study attempts to apply lithium-battery electric-propulsion technology to small ships. A gross tonnage of 9.77, a representative fishing boat, is to be redesigned as a fully electrified ship. Without changing the main cabin's dimensions and fuel tanks, the ship's propulsion system is redesigned based on a lithium-battery electric-propulsion system. In addition, the redesigned system is compared with the original sample ship's diesel-propulsion system for application-effect analysis. The results indicate that under controlled sailing conditions, the weight and volume of the electric-propulsion system are 9.5 and 10.5 times those of the diesel-propulsion system, respectively. These values indicate that the system cannot meet fishing boats' high endurance requirements. Therefore, under the existing technical conditions, applying the full lithium-battery electric-propulsion system to solve the problem of high emissions from fishing boats shows limited feasibility.

This study examined business acts related to leisure boats, so as to investigate the differences of regulations and things to be supplemented, as well as to suggest improvement measures. In order to achieve this purpose, the authors analyzed the respective legislations. The Acts on businesses using leisure boats(or power-driven water leisure crafts) are the Marine Transportation Act, Excursion Ship and Ferry Business Act, Water-Related Leisure Activities Safety Act, and Act on the Development, Management, etc. of Marinas. These Acts have differences in regulations, in terms of gross tonnage, the age of vessels, crewman, and the liquor traffic. These differences can cause problems such as adjusting the gross tonnage of the vessel by modifying the structures of the facilities, assigning old vessels, sailing without crewmen required for safety, and going against fairness in the liquor traffic in similar businesses. Such differences appeared to be caused by the lack of understanding of leisure boats and the series of new legislation which have been added one by one. It is required to raise the understanding on the characteristics of leisure boats and reflect them in the legislation.

According to the statistics of marine accidents occurring in Korea since the past 10 years, the proportion of small fishing boats having a gross tonnage of less than 10 tons was confirmed to be as high as 47.51% of the total marine accidents. Additionally, the trend of marine accidents involving small fishing boats has been increasing steeply compared with that of other ship types/sizes (gross tonnage); hence, countermeasures must be prepared urgently. The Korea maritime transportation authority proposed the introduction of a self inspection system to improve the ship inspection system of small fishing vessels. Futhermore the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries recently prepared and implemented the 'Remote Method of Vessel Inspection Guidelines' to introduce non-face-to-face inspection methods. In this study, a self inspection approval system was presented as a method for reducing marine accidents of small fishing vessels. Moreover, a mobile application was developed to prepare a standardized remote method, and its effectiveness was analyzed. Resultantly, the necessity of introducing a mobile application-based ship inspection system was confirmed with the introduction of a self inspection approval system that could induce voluntary safety management in fishing vessel owners. Additionally, we confirmed that the self inspection approval system could effectively reduce marine accidents by raising the safety awareness of ship owners.

In the field of research of seakeeping quality, much development has been made incent years using the method of calculation based on the strip theory. It is indispensable to grasp quantitatively the seaworthiness of a ship in order to draw correct design at initial stage and to perform proper operations at sea services. In this paper, the responses of three fishing vessels are calculated using statistical and spectral analyzing method to get the characteristics of the motion response. From the theoretical result we know that the significant values of the pitching and rolling motion can be signiicantly affected by not only the ship's tonnage but also the mean wave period in spite of the similar sea environment. So we can apply these expected results to the safe maneuvering and fishing operations in rough weather conditions by combining environmental circumstance with the stability condition of vessels.
