These days, the cruise tourist industry is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing components of the leisure industry in the world. Therefore, the cruise ship with ubiquitous technology is expected to enhance the operation efficiency of the ship. It can also provide valuable addition to the ship's service as well as high quality of life to crews and passengers. Since a large number of passengers are dwelling in cruise ship, all passengers are not easy to use ship's facilities, such as restaurants, fitness center, swimming pool and spa at anytime they want. In this paper, passenger service system in ship environment is tested in similar environment and under ship operation condition. We have proposed three applications of ubiquitous technology using Zigbee communication and LabView program.

In this paper, a method of implementing a communication network in ship, which exploits a powerline-based legacy-line communication system (LLC), is presented. We develop an inductive coupling unit and a multi-interface device to connect a data communication terminal to the powerline. As a result of operation tests for the ship under working, the implemented LLC shows a transmission rate of at least 25.8 Mbps in the distance of 200 m away with 100% success rate. Thus, the system can be a useful alternative to implement a communication network in ship without additional channels. Being easy to be implemented and supporting various interfaces for data communication, the presented system will be very effective when a real-time monitoring system is launched in future digital ship.

In this paper, we propose intelligent SAN(Ship Area Network) which is reliable transmission by integration of optical network of wire communication and Zigbee of wireless communication. We also implement module for remote control and constitute, managing for a various sensors and a controllers which are connected SAN integration network It will be help to prevent accident of ship to monitor work environment, real time monitoring of a equipment and main compartment of a poor ship inside. And it will be also available to enhance labor reduction, sailing safety and sailing economical efficiency of ship inside.

The unmanned ship control system controls the unmanned ship at a distance in ocean. Expecially, in order to control the unmanned ship, it needs the wireless communication networks and we use the IEEE 802.11 based WLAN. The IEEE 802.11 based WLAN technology for supporting a wide bandwidth is suitable for unmanned ship control system which has to transmit the multimedia data. First, we design the system structure for controlling the unmanned ship. Then, in order to overcome the limited communication area, we design the network structure for the unmanned ship communication network which can use a various communication network. we implemented and evaluated the unmanned ship system based on WLAN. We controlled the unmanned ship by use the WLAN and confirmed the signal feature of WLAN in the ocean.

A small, highly-trained crew working on the ship's automation has contributed to the improvement of operation efficiency and the labor environment on board ship. However, at the same time, having a small crew adds more responsibility to the ship's officers to safely operate and manage the ship. Recently, development on the system to concentrate important information being scattered at the various pieces of navigational equipment has been actively studied, using information and computer technology. The purpose of this study is to set up and implement an integrated marine data networking and communication system on the training-research ship. Information relating to navigation, engine and office automation were investigated and analyzed, and implementation methods associated with navigation, engine and the management information system were designed and presented. In addition, the networking system and navigational signal interface unit for the integrated communication system, and the data communication method between the ship and land are also discussed.

In this paper, we reported the bypass unit for ship area networks in order to detour the communication failure regions and poor communication links. The device was composed of three parts of circuits for power cut-off, protection, and coupling transformer. Since the coupling transformer exerts a dominant influence on the performance of the by-pass unit, we have tried to find the optimal magnetic core materials and its dimensions. The prototype was passed through the performance test of insertion loss, temperature, and vibration characteristics. The insertion loss was around -2 dB in the range of 90 kHz ~ 30 MHz and the average communication speed was 59.2 Mbps in the laboratory. A pilot communication test using the developed tool was conducted in the training ship of the Korea Maritime and Ocean University. As a results of experiment, we showed that the wired communication among the heterogeneous-links in the ship area networks are possible by the bypass unit and also a high speed communication services are available in ~ Mbps by using a power-line.

Basic performances of wireless sensor network (WSN) and power line communication (PLC) confirmed in the test bed ashore are investigated in the 3000-ton class training ship of Korea Maritime University. The ubiquitous technologies can be considered for the provision of safety and convenience in a ship. We employed WSN and PLC, as the ubiquitous technologies, at the two areas within the training ship to estimate the realization of the ubiquitous environments in a ship. The experiments show rather good results in terms of data transfer rate. However, more detailed studies concerning the connection between WSN and PLC, noises induced to power line and fading effects are required to improve the quality and the stability of the communication for the ubiquitous environments.

Because shore(ship) to ship(shore) communication service via INMARSAT pay expensive cost, satellite service typically use two stage service that land users dial up LES(Land Earth Station) for sending or receiving message. In order to send and receive message, land users must maintain online state with LES on dedicated line. Also, two stage INMARSAT communication service must consume long time that processes step by step. In case of large company, they have own communication system, but small companys communicate simple messages with only telex. This paper describes the design and implementation of an integrated communication services via INMARSAT-C. This system uses inexpensive INMARSAT-C for transmission between ship and land. Because this system provides web and E-Mail interface, users send and receive messages easily and quickly. This system provides most users with inexpensive and easy communication facilities between ship and land.

In this paper, an effort has been made to design a Real-time Ship Management System where the status of a ship and its surrounding are constantly monitored and recorded at the base station. Proprietary system message based on overhead and checksum encapsulation has been designed to facilitate the communication. Software encoder and decoder are developed independently for each communication device attached to the system to process the proprietary system message into format by device standard. In addition, few configurations are designed to determine the method of updating the ship status message to the base station, which could be remotely chosen by the administrator.
