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.

It is very important to investigate the hull response of a fishing vessel in the sea to ensure the safe navigation and fishing operation in rough sea by preserving excellent sea keeping qualities. For this purpose, the author measured various responses of three stem trawlers in waves using real sea experimental measuring system. The author analyzed the experimental data using the statistical and spectral analyzing method to get the characteristics of the motion responses of the vessels according to the wave height and the ship's speed. The results obtained can be summarized as follows ; (1) Rather higher response of the pitch motion due to the wave height appeared in the head sea and the bow sea than any other wave direction without relevance to ship's size. In case of the roll motion, the beam sea and the quartering sea have a high response value. The period of peak of the pitch motion and the roll motion according to the wave height in each vessel has almost same value respectively. (2) The change of response of the pitch motions deeply depend on the ship's speed in the head sea and the bow sea, but not in the other wave direction. (3) The change of response of the roll motions in the beam sea, the quartering sea and the following sea are affected by the influence of the ship's speed in 5k't to 8k't, but not related to the ship's speed in out of that range.

The purpose of the present study is to measure the sound spectrum of the underwater noise generated by a stern trawler M/S Saebada (2,275 GT, 3600 ps) in the various operational conditions. Underwater noises were recorded by a hydrophone (B & K 8100) and analyses were made rising a digital frequency analyzer (B & K 2131) and level recorder (B & K 2370). The predominant frequency range was 100-500 Hz, and maximum sound pressure level was 121 dB(re. $1{\mu}Pa$). Underwater noise level increased with the increased speed of the vessel. Sound pressure level measured in the course of astern cruising was higher than that measured in the course of ahead cruising and also the noise spectrums were different in these two cases. At the time of cruising the underwater noise was higher than 10 dB compared to those values measured at the time at rest with only engine operation. The underwater noise of the vessel was mainly due to the main engine revolution of the propeller and the vibration of hull.

Recently, interest in smart port systems for linking with autonomous ships is increasing. To build a smart port system, primarily, a system that can automatically moor a vessel is required. To calculate the allowable mooring capacity of the automatic mooring system in a port, the characteristics of the vessel must be considered, and the external force generated from environmental disturbances in the sea must be accurately calculated. Accurately estimating the magnitude of these environmental disturbances is an extremely important factor for designing an automatic mooring system. In this study, the mooring capacity of the HANBADA was estimated according to the port and fishing port design criteria of the Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries. The longitudinal and lateral forces of the mooring force acting on the HANBADA were 18 kN and 248 kN, respectively, under the most extreme ocean conditions (BF 6).

In this paper, among the various facilities used in marine farming, young bivalves of the Mytilus galloprovincialis of marine farming was placed on the deck of the fishing vessel to evaluate the environment conditions and drive shaft movement by rolling affecting the separator for the young bivalves and a clean process. There were a few studies on stress analysis of development facilities because it was difficult to access the fishing site due to the use of imported equipment and the lack of development of domestic equipment. In this study, stress analysis of the fixed part of separator for young bivalves and its adjacent part was performed on various phases when the vessel was tilted by rolling using the finite element method. In addition, the structural safety of the internal blade under the driving conditions according to the movement of the drive shaft by the hydraulic motor was confirmed through structural analysis. As a result, the connection part between the deck and the separator by rolling was confirmed to have higher stress than that of other parts due to stress concentration. In addition, it was confirmed that the maximum stress occurred on the connection part between blades. Even though the safety of the separator for marine farming was confirmed by structural analysis, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the age of vessels, the material of the deck, and the corrosion of the deck.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate port use and the distribution of risk factors in 15 major ports in Korea, delineating the risk of each port after classifying the ports into four risk groups based on estimated risks. The placement of response vessels is then analyzed accordingly. Based on the results, danger was estimated to be especially high in ports where large-scale petrochemical facilities are located, such as Yeosu Gwangyang ports (1.85), Ulsan port (1.33) and Daesan port (1.25). The ports showing the next highest degree of danger were Pusan (0.95) and Incheon (0.83), which have significant vessel traffic, followed by Mokpo (0.71) and Jeju (0.49), which expanded their port facilities recently and saw an increase in large vessel traffic. Next is Masan (0.44), for which many fishing permits in the vicinity. When the relative ratios of each port were graded based on the Yeosu Gwangyang Ports, which showed the highest risk values, and risk groups were classified into four levels, the highest risk groups were Yeosu Gwangyang, Ulsan, Daesan and Pusan, with Incheon, Mokpo, Jeju, and Masan following. Pyeongtaek Dangjin, Pohang, Gunsan, and Donghae Mukho were in the mid-range danger group, and the low risk groups were Samcheonpo, Okgye, and Changsungpo. Among these, all response vessel placement ports specified by current law were above the mid-range risk groups. However, we can see that ports newly included in mid-range risk group, such as Mokpo, Jeju, and Donghae Mukho, were excluded from the pollution response vessel placement system. Therefore, to prepare for marine pollution accidents these three ports should be designated as additional response vessel placement ports.

In the present study, free roll decay and resistance performances of fishing vessels were evaluated with the combinations and variations of in the parameters of appendages which are attached to improve motion performance of fishing vessels. Computational Ffluid Ddynamics was used to perform free roll decay and resistance analysis. The roll period and decay coefficient were derived by the variations in the combination and dimensions of the primary appendages of the bilge keel and the under keel. It was observed thatThe variations of in the length of the under keel did not significantly impact to the roll damping coefficient. Conversely, for the bilge keel, an increase in the length and angle resulted in an increase in the roll damping coefficient. Comparison of resistance performance was additionally assessed among the selected hulls with the appendages and bare hull. The resistance of the hull with the appendages was higher than that of the bare hull due owing to the changes of in the pressure on the surface of the hull and trim angle. Throughout the present study, the impact of appendage parameter and arrangement on the free roll decay and resistance performance of fishing vessels were was assessed,. which This will be beneficial for the application of appendages to fishing vessels.

Fisheries buyback programs have been implemented from 1994 in Korea, and its scale is estimated to have a value of 930 billion won, which is compounded for eight years since 1994. The paper evaluates the programs' economic and financial viability, and predicts efficient ways about how much and how long to reduce fisheries vessels so as to pursue a target biomass at MSY, For the specific purpose of the paper, aggregate fisheries stock dynamics and catch functions are specified and estimated by yearly catch and fishing effort data from 1970 to 2001, using ASPIC model and Schaefer's logistic production model. Results show that the fisheries stock in Korea has steadily declined since 1970, and that Korean fisheries overexploitation has steadily increased. Using cost-benefit analysis method, the buyback program holds the economic and financial feasibility even if the scale of buyback programs is not sufficient to avoid the downward trend in fisheries stock and harvest. The potential investment scale is predicted in several alternative scenarios using the sensitivity analysis method. The results recommend the annual reduction of 46%, 12% or 20% for the next one year, five years or three years, respectively so that the target biomass at MSY may be reached in 25 years.
