In this paper, we analysed the technical features and characteristics for Ship Security Alert Systems(SSAS). Due to the steady increase in incidents, and partly triggered by the events of 9/11, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) initiated an intense programme of activity, resulting in a conference on maritime security measures during December 2002. IMO SOLAS Regulation XI-2/6 applies to the following types of vessels on international voyages which include passenger ships, including high-speed passenger craft, cargo ships, including high-speed craft, of 500 gross tons and upwards and mobile offshore units. The paper has discussed on international technical trends and its characteristics and provided how to regulate for activating and harmonizing internationally domestic ships.

One of good ways to make a ship perform well in rough seas is to reduce its waterplane area and accordingly is subject to a reduced wave exciting forties. However, a great reduction of the waterplane area may create a penalty in speed performance due to the increased ratio of the wetted area to the displacement volume. This paper suggests a new catamaran hull form which compromises the speed and seakeeping quality by increasing the waterplane area somehow compared with that of the conventional SWATH ship. A 350 passenger carrying SWATH ship with a cruising speed of 30 knots in sea state of 4 has been developed and its performance was validated by the model tests. The design concept resistance performance and seakeeping dualities of the design craft are presented together with its comparative performance comparison with other high speed crafts.

In this study, the excessive noise and vibration phenomena of a high-speed Ro/Ro passenger ship were analyzed, and a countermeasure was taken based on them. This ship was granted a comfort class notation by the classification society, which was COMFORT-VIBRATION-II and COMFORT-NOISE-CREW-II. However, unfortunately, excessive noise and vibration in the aft part of the ship were delivered from the twin shaft propellers, and therefore the Class Requirement was not satisfied before delivery. In order to obtain the class notation, all of the concerned parties came to an agreement to reduce the noise and vibration level during operation after delivery because a seasonal ferry service was already scheduled and the cabin was fully booked. The root cause of the massive amount of noise and vibration was mainly the propeller-induced excitation pulse and beating that occurred from the mismatch of the rotating speeds of the two shaft lines. A 1st order vibrating force and beating phenomena existed in the propeller. Thus, a reduction of the excitation force, elimination of the beating phenomena, and decrease of the noise level at the aft area cabins and public spaces were required. In addition, structural reinforcements were conducted using pillars and additional girders at the aft part of the decks.

In response to the growing domestic request and the change of the overseas environment, Hyundai Maritime Research Institute has recently established a three-stage development plan for the high speed marine transportation system. As the first stage plan, the long-range high-speed foil catamaran passenger ship has been designed and constructed for the open-sea serivice of 800 nautical miles round trip with top speed above 40 knots. Extensive theoretical analyses and model tests were systematically carried omit along the course of design for the system optimization and the verification. In this paper, the brief summary of the design and the construction works shall be presented.

There have been many accidents of passenger ships on the sea and they have caused a big loss of human lives. Maritime Safety Committee(MSC) of International Maritime Organization(IMO) made evacuation analysis of Ro-Ro passenger ships mandatory in order to save as many lives as possible at the time of accident. But this is a temporary regulation and HSC/IMO ties to introduce a performance-based regulation to improve the effect of regulation. Simulation-based evacuation analysis is the basis of performance-based regulation. In this paper, we performed a simulation-based evacuation analysis on a passenger ship, which is usually used in the plying between land and islands in Korea, with EXODUS system. Through inspecting the results from this analysis in more detail, we can make a proposal to improve the safety of passenger ship. Finally we describe the features of IMEX(Intelligent Model for Extrication Simulation), a new evacuation model being developed in KRISO.

The resistance property of a high speed passenger craft (: "DOL-PIN HO" designed by the author in 1972) is investigated as follows; -. The Resistance property of the craft is determined by savitsky′s method and blount-Fox′s method. The theoretical results are also compared with the full scale data. The comparison reveals that the result when using blount/fox′s method are in much closer agreement with the full scale data than savitsky′s. -. The effects of ship speed on the positions of the center of pressure and of the longitudinal center of gravity (L.C.G.) are investigated. The investigation shows that the position of L.C.G. of the craft is almost constant although the ship speed is changed. -. The effect of transom flap on the Resistance property of the craft is studied using savitsky/brown′s method. From the study it is found that the resistance of the craft is decreased and hence speed gain (about 3% of the service speed) can be obtained, when using transom flap for the craft.

The demand for the stable and comfortable cabin of a high speed passenger ship is increasing. The study on shipboard comfort has been mainly concentrated on the motion control of a whole hull body. In this study, however, a new control system operated by two parallel robots (3RPS, 3SPR) such as the active suspension system of motor vehicle is proposed. The goal of this control is keeping zero velocity of the upper robot (cabin) although the lower robot (ship) is moving by the waves. Jacobian matrix was used to design the controller, From the simulation results, the remarkable reduction of motion of the cabin (upper platform) was observed. The 3SPR parallel robot shows better performance compared to the 3RPS robot.

Since the 1990's, European shipbuilding industries introduced hybrid welding process in order to decrease thermal distortion of welded joints in passenger shipbuilding. In this study, we investigated effects of hybrid welding parameters on the toughness of weld metal using DH36 steel in order to obtain more sound welds in passenger shipbuilding. Type of leading process, joint gap distance and chemical composition of consumables were considerably correlated with the toughness of weld metal. Especially, the toughness was considerably increased with high-Ti containing consumables. In addition, hybrid welding speed increased by using plasma cut edges, the oxides layer of which increased absorption efficiency of laser beam.

The first - stage study of the three - stage SWATH ship development program of Hyundai Maritime Research Institute has been completed. Various computer programs have been prepared in advance to calculate and predict various properties and characteristics of SWATH ships. With these design tools, theoretical analyses for the systematic variation of design parameters were performed, and step - by - step model tests were carried out to derive the final configuration.

Bulbous bow is one of the important design factors on the design of fore-body hull form. Using the interference technique of ship waves, the bulbous bow can decrease the wave resistance of ship. Recently, the goose neck bulb is applied mainly for high speed vessels like passenger ships and ferries etc.. Also, the goose neck bulb is applied for relatively high speed merchant vessels like container ships and LNG carriers. However, existing research papers about the goose neck bulb are not enough as reference data for the design of bow hull form. In this study, numerical calculations are carried out to investigate the bow wave characteristics of a high speed ferry with a normal high nose bulb or a goose neck bulb. By comparing the pressure distributions on the hull surface and the wave systems near the bow, the features of wave resistance reduction are discussed. Also, Numerical calculations were carried out for a series of goose neck bulbs to figure out the optimum bulb size. The maximum reduction rate of pressure resistance for the fore-body is achievable up to 8% by adopting the goose neck bulb in the present calculation.
