Collision of small vessels such as fishing boats cause great personal injury. Prior to this study, the collision prevention algorithm was developed to assess the collision risk and make the collision alarm. However, a service provided for safety, such as a collision warning, not only prevents risks, but also requires a certain degree of user satisfaction to function effectively. In this study, the collision prevention algorithm for small vessels was improved to be more practical, and the effects of the improvement were confirmed by applying the algorithm. A survey conducted on the users of the collision warning service confirmed the user requirements for improving the accuracy of the collision warning system and reducing the volume and number of alarms. Accordingly, the algorithm was improved for user satisfaction, and the actual vessel experiment was performed applying the improved algorithm in an actual maritime environment. As a result, the frequency of alarm occurrence decreased compared to former algorithm, but the alarm was relatively steadily generated in dangerous situations. It was analyzed that the accuracy and practicality of the collision alarm were improved. If the practicality and reliability of the improved algorithm are verified in the further study, it will be able to effectively contribute to the prevention of collisions of small vessels.

In order to modify the construction of gizzard shad coastal purse seine net with possible to the laborsaving of fishing operation in the coastal small fishing vessels, the model experiments were carried out on the model nets for several conventional nets using in the field and the experimental nets was manufactured as 1/100 and 1/60 of the full scale net. The results obtained are summarized as follows；1. In the case of the conventional net and reduction rate 75% in conventional net with purse line the fishing efficiency decreased, the lead line was upward for the surface and the pursing depth of pursing line was very shallow to 2∼3m. 2. In the case of the net having maximum depth in center part designed in this study, the length of float and lead line was 60% of conventional net, the depth of net was fixed 20m to selvage line of the both of the end and extend gradually with 50m, 40m, 30m to the center. Among the these net, depth of pursing line was 20∼23m for 50m and 7∼15m for 40m, 30m the depth of net. These results were suitable for interception of fish school in fishing ground, but several problems will be caused by the depth and current of fishing ground.

Ships in a seaway will encounter dangerous situation, such as slamming, stranding, and capsizing. The number of capsizing is small, but the loss due to them is very large from the viewpoint of human life, property, and the environmental pollution. The number of capsizing of fishing vessels is about 62% of total number of capsizing, and the half of them is originated from the operational mistake in a seaway. So the dynamics and the capsizing phenomena are to be studied, and the guide for the safe operation of a fishing vessel in a seaway are to be specified. The hydrodynamic forces consist of radiation forces (which are due to the motion of a ship), Froude-Krylov forces (which is due to the incoming waves), and diffraction forces (which is due to the wave and ship interaction). These forces are calculated by well-known strip method. Using the calculated forces, the motion of a ship in a regular sea is obtained. In the real seaway, the waves are very irregular, therefore the statistical analysis is very helpful. In this paper, using the results of the motion in a regular seaway and the wave spectrum, the motion in a irregular seaway are obtained and analyzed.

Research on eco-friendly ships is being actively conducted due to the strengthening of environmental regulations in the shipping sector by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). However, most studies are on large ships, and research on small ships is insufficient. Since most fishermen operate small boats, research on eco-friendly fuel vessels is necessary. This study performed resistance performance analysis, model tests, and POW tests to develop a hybrid electric propulsion ship, and compared and verified the CFD and model test results.

In this study, we installed the Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver on the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) from November 21 to 30, 2013 in order to monitor marine traffic and fishery activity in the jurisdictional sea area. The collected AIS raw data consist of static data report (MMSI, IMO NO., Call Sign, Ship Name, etc.) and position information report (position, speed, course, etc.), and the developed program was applied to classify ships according to ship flag and type information. The nationalities are released from the first three-digit numbers (MID) of MMSI, but in general most of small ships do not send an exact ship flag through Class B type AIS, a simplified and low-power equipment. From AIS data with flag information, ships under the flag of China had the highest frequency and the second was Korean flag, while in ship type cargo and fishing vessels were dominant in sequence. As for the ships without flag information, we compared the tracks with others in order to estimate ship flags. It can be said that fleets of ships with Chinese frequently appear sail together for fisheries over the waters, because the unknown ships followed a similar moving pattern with Chinese fishing vessels.

The dynamic behavior characteristics of a small fishing crane for inshore and coastal fishing vessels was experimentally analyzed in order to improve the fishing operation and to reduce considerably manual work of fisherman. The small fishing crane was designed to be controlled electro-hydraulically by means of proportional valves and solenoid valves, and also to be controlled the speed of each operation. The dynamic behavior characteristics was investigated by measuring the changes of parameters such as oil pressure, swing angle of load, load tension, the lifting angle and the swing angle of crane arm when the arms extended in a side way was given a test load. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The designed small fishing crane can be proportionally controlled by means of proportional valves and rapidly by operating the solenoid valves, respectively. The capacity, turning angle, maximum reach of crane were 2 T-M, $180^\circ$, 3.7m, respectively. 2. The vertical change of crane arm on the extension of lifting cylinder was $1.2^\circ$/cm, and the swing speed of crane arm due to the extension of swing cylinder by on/off operations of solenoid valves was $15^\circ$/sec, with the swing period of 1.4 sec and the angle fluctuation of $\pm$11.0$^{\circ}$. 3. When changing simultaneously the horizontal and vertical positions of the lifting load by on/off operations of solenoid valves, the swing and lifting speeds of crane arm were $4.46^\circ$/sec and $6.4^\circ$/sec, respectively. 4. The movements of the designed crane were particularly smooth as they are controlled with the aid of proportional valves than by means of solenoid valves.

The primary objective of the current study is to develop outstanding hull form on resistance performance by using numerical analysis code. Model tests were conducted to assess the resistance performance of the developed hull form. The investigation of an existing vessel was performed for validating the actual ship design based on the drawing. The operating displacement and speed were mainly confirmed through investigation of the existing vessel. The resistance performance of the existing vessel was analyzed using numerical code. The developed vessel was derived through studies on wave improvement of the bow shoulder, the balance of displacement distribution, the modification of the frame shape, and the size and shape change of the center skeg. Based on the results of a computational fluid dynamics analysis, the resistance performance of the developed vessel showed an improvement of 15% over the existing vessel at a speed of 11 knots. Resistance tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the existing vessel and the developed vessel in the towing tank. Finally, the effective horsepower of the developed vessel showed an improvement of 17% over the existing vessel.

Considering international status of our country as world class ship builder and geographical characteristics encircled by sea in three facets, controlling of air pollutants emission from marine engines becomes more and more important issue in recent days. Implementation of immediate pollutants emission control regulation and standardization of test and certification procedure are required to reduce air pollution from marine engines. But cost increments due to additional equipment of emission control device and development and certification test expenses as well as depreciation of fuel economy should be considered. To satisfy those air pollution reduction and economic requirements, we should make our own interpretation of IMO standard and implementation schedule depending on our country's status. For this purpose we measured NOx emission from small and middle class marine engines to calculate emission factor and total pollutant emission in our country. With the comparison and analysis of other countries emission control regulation we proposed basic data of total emission from marine engine and future emission control standard in our country. According to our estimation, 62% of total NOx emission of marine engines comes from fishing boat and 38% from commercial vessels. The portion of NOx emission from marine engine is 18.6% of whole country NOx emission. Due to the voyage characteristics of middle and large vessel and necessity of international harmonization of marine engine pollutants emission control standard, it is inevitable to adopt IMO standard for middle and large marine engines. But considering technological and cost effect of fishing boat operating in near sea, it is resonable to set a standard within 80% of measured value at the moment and gradually implement the same IMO standard in near future.

Radio equipment for maritime service and navigation aids installed on fishing vessels are required to comply with the performance standards KN60945_60533 that apply IEC 60945. The LTE-M transceiver was excluded from the target because it did not belong to the radio equipment of the ship station, and it acted as a cause of audible noise in the radio equipment for maritime service installed in the fishing vessel due to interference by radiated emission or conducted emission. In this paper, we analyze the impact of interference based on related cases and present institutional solutions for the diversification of LTE-M.

Ever increasing fuel prices and environmental concerns are forcing commercial vessel operators and designers to re-assess current vessel designs with an emphasis on their propulsion systems. The most important parameter determining propulsive efficiency is the diameter of propeller. Many investigations have been carried out to adapt a large and slow turning propeller known as one of the most robust and effective way of achieving high efficiency in ship propulsion system. However, for the same vessel a further increase of propeller diameter would require the modification of the aft end while still paying attention to the hull clearance to prevent excessive propeller excited vibrations. In order to take the advantage of this approach small workboats (e.g. tug boats, fishing vessels etc.) operate in service with a significant increase of aft draught and hence resulting "inclined keel" configuration can be observed. Although it is not unusual to see large vessels sometimes to operate with stern trim to improve their operational performance and fuel efficiency, it is rare to see a such vessel purposely built with an inclined keel feature to fit a large diameter propeller for power saving. This paper investigates the application of the inclined keel configuration to a 3600TEU container vessel with the aim of fitting an 11 % larger diameter propeller (and hence resulting 17.5 % lower rpm) to gain further power saving over the similar size basis container ship with conventional "level keel" configuration.
