In this study, we carried out a precedent investigation for an ultra-large container ship, which is expected to be a higher value-added vessel. We studied a preliminary optimized design technique for estimating the principal dimensions of an ultra-large container ship. Above all, we have developed optimized dimension estimation models to reduce the building costs and weight, using previous container ships in shipbuilding yards. We also applied a generalized estimation model to estimate the shipping service costs. A Genetic Algorithm, which utilized the RFR (required freight rate) of a container ship as a fitness value, was used in the optimization technique. We could handle uncertainties in the shipping service environment using a Monte-Carlo simulation. We used several processes to verify the estimated dimensions of an ultra-large container ship. We roughly determined the general arrangement of an ultra-large container ship up to 1500 TEU, the capacity check of loading containers, the weight estimation, and so on. Through these processes, we evaluated the possibility for the practical application of the preliminary design model.

It is envisaged that the effect of increasingly stricter air emissions legislation implemented through IMO Annex VI and other local air quality controls, together with favorable financial conditions for the use of natural gas instead of liquid fuel oil as a bunker fuel, will see an increasing number of DF engine and single gas fuel engine applications to LNG carriers and other vessel types. As part of provision for the current international movements in the shipping industry to reduce GHG emission in air, new design concepts using natural gas as an alternative fuel source for propulsion of large commercial vessels, have been developed by shipyards and research institutes. In this study, an explosion analysis for a gas supply machinery room of LNG-fuelled container ship is presented. The gas fuel concept is employed for the high pressure ME-GI where a leakage in the natural gas double supply pipe to the engines is the subject of the present analysis. The consequences of a leak are simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to predict typical leak scenarios, gas cloud sizes and possible explosion pressures. In addition, capacity of the structure which is subject to explosion loads has been assessed.

Vessels in the world merchant fleet generally operate in either liner or bulk trade. The supply and the demand trend of general cargo ship are both on the ebb however those trend of tankers and containers are ins light ascension. Oil tankers are so far the largest single vessel type in the world fleet and the tanker market is often cited as a texbook example of perfect competition. Some shipping statistics in recent years show that there has been a radical fluctuation in spot charter rate under easy charter's market. This implies that the proper scheduling of tankers under spot market fluctuation has the great potential of improving the owner's profit and economic performance of shipping. This paper aims at developing the TS-DSS(Decision Support System for Tanker Scheduling) in the context of the importance of scheduling decisions. TS-DSS is defined as a DSS based on the optimization models for tanker scheduling. The system has been developed through the life cycle of systems analysis design and implementation to be user-friendly system. The performance of the system has been tested and examined by using the data edited under several tanker scheduling has been tested and examined by using the data edited under several tanker scheduling scenarios and thereby the effectiveness of TS-DSS is validated satisfactorily. The authors conclude the paper with the comments of the need of appropriate support environment such as data-based DSS and network system for successful implementatio of the TS-DSS.

According to the development of marine transportation business and the modernization and over sizing of vessel transportation equipment. shipping equipment used in the terminal are getting more atomized and speedier. thus the efficiency of shipping and discharging depends upon the degree of practice of terminal operating manpower. It means that cultivation of experts in this field is essentially needed and it is becoming a serious problem to guarantee the training programs to provide high-class. high-skilled manpower. The best result can be expected when we use the real equipment for training purposes. but it will cause many difficulties such as budget problem. To overcome this situation. we developed the Virtual Container Crane Simulator(VCCS System) which enables the operator to learn the operation of the equipment as well as safety problems within a short time. VCCS system begins with establishing the direction of operation by setting the appropriate motions for each step. and then it instructs the basic operation. It enhances the driver's ability to cope with accidents during operation and completes and completes the mastery of operating techniques with The repetition of practice.

Icing problem of ice-strengthened vessels is an important issue when operating in low temperature environment and it can cause damage to deck machineries and emergency equipments. Many ice-strengthened vessels have since been constructed and operated in accordance with the ice class rules such as Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and so on. Therefore winterization is defined as the preparation of a ship for safe operation. In this research, anti-icing performance tests of weather-tight door have been carried out at various temperature conditions($5^{\circ}C$, $-10^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$, $-30^{\circ}C$, $-40^{\circ}C$) in the low temperature cold room facility and then, ambient temperature, specimen temperature, electric current and temperature of heating cable were measured during the test operations. This research describes the construction guidelines of weather-tight door based on anti-icing test results to apply to the full-scale vessels.

The ship recycling or scrap is a phenomenon in the process of vessels life cycle has ended in the shipping industry. Scrap are greatly affected by freight rates due to ship demands. Not only that, environmental regulation and economic scale vessel demand are processes that must exist in the shipping industry as they obtain management for existing vessels. In the past, shipbreaking yard had tried to work without protection for poverty, without poor working conditions and facilities to prevent the emission of harmful substances. However, the issue of environmental pollution has been raised the Basel and Hong Kong Convention have been adopted, and a new replacement of the ship scrap that induces serious pollution is required. In this study, 165 countries were analyzed to confirm the importance of determining the ship solution. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the Environmental Performance Index, which is a measure of environmental regulation, is the most influential factor of ship scrapped volume. The determinant of whether lower labor cost can be secured is more correlated with population than GDP per capita. The implications of the results of the regression analysis mean that if environmental regulations for ship scrap of the future are strengthened, the status of Bangladesh and Pakistan, which currently account for half of the world's ship recycling, may change.

2012년 12월, 한국 울산항 앞바다에서 항타선이 침몰되었다. 본 사고 선박의 침몰원인은 인적요소, 기상악화 등의 복합적인 문제라 여겨진다. 사고 이후 선박안전기술공단에서는 리더부(크레인)는 충분한 안전율이 확보된 강도로 설계되었다고 결론을 내렸으나 국립과학수사 연구원의 현장조사 감정서에서는 선박 침몰은 리더부의 파손으로 인한 것이라고 결론 내렸다. 이에 본 저자들은 선박안전기술공단이 선박 검사에 사용하는 선박안전법과 강도 계산 및 구조해석 방법 등을 검토하였다. 나아가 한국선급의 규칙을 기반으로 두어 선박 침몰원인을 분석하기 위한 유체동역학적해석 및 구조해석에 관한 수치시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 국립과학수사연구원의 현장조사 결과와 유사한 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 본 사고 선박과 같이 선급 규칙의 적용을 받지 않고도 자유롭게 국내에서 운항 될 수 있는 항타선의 경우 유사한 사고가 발생할 수 있으며 이를 방지하기 위하여 한국선급 규칙의 적용을 받는 검사가 수행되어야 할 것임을 제안한다.

선사들의 자가 터미널 확보, 전략적 제휴 및 M&A, 선박의 대형화는 항만으로 하여금 기항지 축소와 항만간 경쟁을 초래하게 하였다. 이러한 해운 항만의 환경변화는 선사들이 항만평가 기준인 항만선호도, 성장가능성 항만경쟁력 등에 대한 평가도 변하게 하고 있다. 선사들의 항만평가 기준의 변화는 항만이 추구해야 하는 정책방향을 결정하기 때문에 중요한 연구의 주제라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ANVOA 분석과 Duncan 검증을 통해 선사들의 항만 기항선호도, 성장가능성, 항만경쟁력의 평가변수들을 대상으로 전세계 8개 주요항만(싱가포르항, 홍콩항, 상하이항, 부산항, 로테르담항, 함부르크항, 카오슝항, 도쿄항)을 유사 항만군으로 그룹핑하여 평가하고자 한다. 이는 평균차이 검증을 통해 선사들이 전세계 주요 항만을 평가하는 객관적인 평가결과로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

연료유 비용은 컨테이너 해운 선사에 있어 상당한 비용을 차지한다. 지난 3년 간, 연료유 가격은 상당하게 증가하여 왔다. 컨테이너 해운에서 단기간에 계속적으로 증가하는 연료유 가격의 일부만이 운임애 대한 할증료를 통해서 보완되고 있다. 따라서 수익(earnings)에는 상당한 부정적인 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 H선사의 AEX 항로에 대한 유가 및 선박 관련 자본비용에 대한 경제성 분석을 하였다. H선사의 2008년 DAYLY 척당 평균 고정비 31,818 USD 적용 시 연료유 가격이 169.35$/TON 일 때 8척 운항과 9척 운항의 항차당 운영비용이 동일하였다. 현제의 고유가 상황을 고려할 때 연료유 가격이 200$/TON이하로 형성되기 어려울 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 200$/TON이상 일 때 고정비(용선료)가 35,000$이 넘어서더라도 8척 운항 시 보다 9척 운항이 경제성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
