The utilization of gas as ship fuel requires a new set of regulations by IMO and society of classification. Maritime Safety Committee(MSC) and the subcommittee Bulk-Liquids and Gases(BLG) in IMO developed "Interim Guidelines on Safety for Natural Gas-fueled Engine Installation in Ships(Res.MSC.285(86))" for the use of natural gas in internal combustion engine. According to the requirement of Res.MSC.285(86) for natural gas-fueled engine installations in ships, several parts of ships should follow safety criteria in terms of Fuel bunkering, Gas safe Machinery spaces, Gas Fuel Storage and etc. In this thesis, details of the IGF code shall be described and development of the IGF code in IMO shall be illustrated.

최근 해상교통량이 증가하고 연안 항해에 대한 관제 필요성이 요구되면서 선박 교통 관제구역이 점차 확대되는 추세이다. 이러한 관제구역의 확대는 관제사의 업무 부하를 초래하며, 이로 인해 교통 혼잡 시간대와 같이 교통량이 급증하는 경우 관제사가 위험 상황을 인지하지 못하는 상황도 발생하게 된다. 이러한 배경에서 본 논문에서는 관제 업무의 지원을 위해 이상 거동 선박을 자동으로 식별하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 방법은 기계학습 기술을 기반으로 관제구역 내의 통항 패턴을 모델링하고, 이를 통해 이상 거동 선박을 식별하는 방법으로, 대상 항만의 누적된 AIS 데이터를 이용하여 모델을 학습하며, 실제 항적 및 시뮬레이션 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 선박교통관제시스템에의 활용 가능성을 고찰한다.

The Ship Safety Act prescribes matters necessary for the maintenance of seaworthiness and safe navigation of ships. In this regard, Article 10 of this Act requires shipowner to undergo occasional survey if he/she wants to temporarily change intends to modify the details entered in a ship survey certificate. Such measures are in accordance with the maintenance of the state of the ship after the ship inspection under Article 15 of this Act, and this Act includes "harbor construction work ship" under Article 39 Paragraph (1) of the Harbor Act. However, although the harbor construction work ship originally showed the same operating system as the barge, it was not applied to the Ship Safety Act and was registered and surveyed under the Construction Machinery Management Act. Then "Seokjeong No. 36" sinking accident in Ulsan on December 14, 2012, led to the amendment of the Harbor Act in 2016, and considering the fact that it was added to the Ship Safety Act and applied, there is a realistic limit to applying all the regulations stipulated in the Ship Safety Act to the harbor construction work ship. Accordingly, this study discusses the work characteristics through concept, registration, work area, survey regulations, application case of temporary alteration etc. of harbor construction work ships and controversial issues related to the scope of application of the Ship Safety Act of actual harbor construction work ships, and also the appropriate scope of "temporary alteration" among temporary inspections prescribed in Article 10 of the Ship Safety Act in consideration of the legislative purpose of incorporating harbor construction work ships into the survey subject to the Ship Safety Act in accordance with the revision of the Harbor Act.

According to the increase of the requirement for the safety and environmental protection at sea, safety is a core design factor of maritime systems. Safety is defined as a perceived quality that determines to what extent the management, engineering and operation of a system is free of danger to life, property and the environment. There are many possible approaches in dealing with the safety of ships. The risk-based approach is one of the most systematic and reasonable way currently in design, operation and regulatory works for ship safety. This paper proposes a concept of total risk management for ship safety, and introduces a prototype system implemented based on this concept as a framework of design and operation of ships.

This study was carried out in order to verity the usefulness of FSA(Formal Safety Assessment) methods as a tool to conduct a safety assessment of general cargo ships flying the Korean flag, and to provide useful information on 'the Safety of General Cargo Ships' for IMO committee's discussion on the matter at a future session. In the previous paper, "A Study on High-level FSA for Korean-flagged General Cargo Ships(1)", the concepts of the FSA methodology and its five steps were described and the results of Hazard Identification(Step 1) and Risk Analysis(Step 2) from the FSA study for the Korean-flagged general cargo ships were discussed. Subsequent to the Steps 1 & 2, the identification of Risk Control Options(RCOs-Step 3) for eliminating or reducing either the frequency or the severity of the risks identified and their Cost-Benefit Assessment(CBA-Step 4) were undertaken. In this paper, the results of the Steps 3 & 4 are discussed, and some recommendations are made.

This paper presents trends of safety improvement technologies for an electric propulsion system of eco-friendly ships. As an effort to reduce a green house effect, demands for eco-friendly ships have been increased. An energy storage system (ESS) is one of key systems in an eco-friendly ship and a lithium-ion battery generally used in an ESS system due to its high power density and efficiency. However, a lithium-ion battery is considered as one of reasons for ESS fire hazard. Since a fire extinguishing facility is especially limited in the ocean, safety issue in an eco-friendly ship is important. In this paper, recent safety improvement technologies for traction motors, ESS batteries and structures for eco-friendly ships are presented.

Collision accidents happen frequently. The majority of ships involved in collisions in the coastal areas of Korea are middle and small size ships. The proportion of collision accidents is only 9% of all types of marine accidents; however, the number of casualties resulting from collisions is 34.4% of all human life damages. Generally, as reported by the people involved in these collisions, the navigation lights of the opponent ships were poor and invisible when the accident happened even though the weather and visibility were good. Furthermore, there are many insistences for poor navigation light conditions of the opponent ship in the bay or harbor. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the present conditions and safety of navigation lights. Therefore, in this study, we examined the rules and books of navigation lights and compared it to that of other transportation systems, such as aircraft, trains, and road vehicles. Furthermore, we analyzed the current marine traf ic circumstances and ship collision accidents that happened in the past 5 years. Additionally, a questionnaire was prepared to gather the opinion of ship experts and secure the objectivity for improvement methods of navigation lights. Finally, methods to improve the navigation lights on ships were devised.

In this paper, we analysed vessel traffic volume and patterns of traffic flow for ships using areas where included wind farm site and adjacent waters of Daejeong Offshore Wind Farm, and estimated traffic volume by classified navigational routes according to suggestion of rational routeing measures on the basis of classified patterns after installation of offshore wind facilities. Also, we assessed vessel traffic safety for each designed routeing measures on the basis of estimated traffic volume and proposed requisite countermeasures for the safe navigation of ships. With a result of analysing patterns of traffic flow, the current traffic flow was classified by 8 patterns and the annual traffic volume was predicted to 8,975 ships. On the basis of these, expected the vessel traffic volume according to designed four routeing mesaures after installation of wind farm. As result of assessing vessel traffic safety by using powered-vessel collision model of SSPA on the basis of the estimated traffic volume, the value of collision probability was less than safe criteria $10^{-4}$. Thereby we made sure usability of the designed routeing measures for the safe navigation of ships.

Logistics movement using ships has been used for many centuries, but maritime accidents are still difficult to predict and they occur on a large scale. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) made it mandatory to install Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) for safe seas, but S-57 standards applied to equipment were not updated over 30 years. In addition, it is difficult to keep the equipment up-to-date and revise standards as ships move around the world. In consideration of the limitations of S-57, the IHO developed the new standard as S-100 rather than an update of the S-57. In this study, the previously developed S-100 tool and S/W were configured as one platform and applied to the S-100 ECDIS. The platform conducts as the S-100 cycle and ecosystem from the creation of standards to release and practical use in ships. The hydrographic information standard is machine-readable as defined in S-100, and it has been validated that the latest standard can be applied using the Plug and Play (PnP) function without software system updates. It is expected that international organization such as the International Hydrographic Office (IHO) and the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) shall develop and release standards and mariners can easily apply the latest standards to equipment through the machine-readable platform.
