Decisions of the design speed, MCR, and engine capacity have been empirically made by assuming the value termed the sea margin. Due to ambiguity regarding the effect of some factors on the sea margin, the value has been commonly decided based on experience. To evaluate the value from a new viewpoint, it is necessary to construct an approach to estimate the sea margin through an objective procedure based on a physical and mathematical model. In this paper, a framework to estimate the actual sea margin of an LNGC based on the maneuvering equations of motion is suggested by considering the hull, propeller, rudder, and given sea route under wind and waves. The fouling effect is additionally quantified as the increase of total resistance by considering the re-docking period. The operation data is reviewed to amend the increase of the total resistance considering the speed loss of a ship. Finally, the factor of how much the resistance increases due to fouling is newly obtained for the vessel. Based on the comparison of the estimated sea margin with the empirical range of the sea margin, the constructed framework is regarded as feasible.

선박을 통한 세계교역 증가에 따라 침입외래종(Invasive Alien Species, IAS)로 인한 해양생태계파괴 및 사회경제적 피해가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히 선체표면과 틈새구역(Niche Area)에 부착된 해양생물의 이동은 외래종침입 문제뿐만 아니라 선박의 마찰저항을 증가시켜 운항효율감소 및 온실가스배출 증가를 유발한다. 국제해사기구(IMO)는 최근 선체부착생물 통제 및 관리에 대한 지침 개정작업에 착수하였고 뉴질랜드와 미국 캘리포니아는 이미 자국법으로 선체부착생물 관리를 규제하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에 입항하는 국제운항선 5척을 대상으로 선체부착생물 관리현황과 생물부착현황을 조사하였고, 생물부착종과 피도(Coverage)를 분석하여 생물부착단계 등급(Level of Fouling, LoF rank)을 평가하였다. 모든 선박에서 대형부착생물(Macrofouling)이 관찰되었고 특히 선수 스러스터(Bow thruster), 빌지킬(Bilge keels) 및 해수 흡입구 격자(Sea-chest gratings)와 같은 틈새구역의 대형개체(Macro organisms) 부착이 심각한 수준으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 국내 선체부착생물 관리방안을 제시하고, 실선대상 생물부착단계등급 적용 및 검사(Inspection) 방법 개선방안을 제안하고자 하였다.

Shipping company and operators have to manage well to keep shipping schedules without problems in main engine. Specially operators have to operate main engine within the limit of operation point, and adjust related parameters to be operated safely and continuously. Also operators have ability to analyze fouling condition of hull through comparing data gotten from P-V curve and performance results of new building ships in trial with service ships. In this study, not only compared main engine performance results in shop trial and sea trial, but also investigated performance trend in accordance with the time elapsed for the service ship's diesel engine. They were confirmed as follows. First, shop trial load is higher than sea trial load but ship's speed is satisfied with owner's contract speed. Second as time goes by, load of service ship increases steadily and other parameters related with main engine shows variable change depend on main engine load increasing.

지구온난화에 대한 심각성이 대두되면서 선박부문의 온실가스 배출에 관한 연구가 전 세계적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이에 반하여 국내 연구 수준은 기초에 그치고 있다. 본 논문에서는 선박으로부터 배출되는 이산화탄소의 여러가지 저감대책 중에서 운항손실과 투자비용을 최소화하면서 수행할 수 있는 방법으로 전자제어엔진 사용, 트림 최적화, 프로펠러 연마 및 친환경 방오도료의 사용을 선정하였다. 선정된 저감대책들을 운항실습선에 적용하여 시험 운항을 실시하였고 연료소비율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 각 대책들은 약 1~5%의 연료소비율 저감 효과가 있었고 이를 에너지효율운항지수 산출에 적용하면 약 1~5%를 감소시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 국제적 환경규제를 제정할 때 우리나라에게 유리하도록 대응하기 위해서는 에너지효율운항지수에 대한 연구에도 지속적인 노력이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Biofouling represents an important problem in the shipping industry since it causes the increase in surface roughness. The most of ships in the current world fleet do not have good coating condition which represents an important problem due to strict rules regarding ship energy efficiency. Therefore, the importance of the control and management of the hull and propeller fouling is highlighted by the International Maritime Organization and the maintenance schedule optimization became valuable energy saving measure. For adequate implementation of this measure, the accurate prediction of the effects of biofouling on the hydrodynamic characteristics is required. Although computational fluid dynamics approach, based on the modified wall function approach, has imposed itself as one of the most promising tools for this prediction, it requires significant computational time. However, during the maintenance schedule optimization, it is important to rapidly predict the effect of biofouling on the ship hydrodynamic performance. In this paper, the effect of biofilm on the ship hydrodynamic performance is studied using the proposed performance prediction method for three merchant ships. The applicability of this method in the assessment of the effect of biofilm on the ship hydrodynamic performance is demonstrated by comparison of the obtained results using the proposed performance prediction method and computational fluid dynamics approach. The comparison has shown that the highest relative deviation is lower than 4.2% for all propulsion characteristics, lower than 1.5% for propeller rotation rate and lower than 5.2% for delivered power. Thus, a practical tool for the estimation of the effect of biofouling with lower fouling severity on the ship hydrodynamic performance is developed.

This study discusses data collection, calculation of wind and wave-induced resistance, and speed-power analysis of an 8,600 TEU container ship. Data acquisition system of the ship operator was improved to obtain the data necessary for the analysis, which was accomplished using SPA (Ship Performance Analysis, Park et al., 2019) in conformation with ISO15016:2015. From a previous operation profile of the container, the standard operating conditions of mean draft were 12.5 m and 13.6 m, which were defined with the mean stowage configuration of each condition. Model tests, including the load-variation test, were conducted to validate new ship performance and for the speed-power analysis. The major part of the added resistance of container ship is due to the wind. To check the reliability of wind-resistance calculation results, the resistance coefficients, added resistance, and speed-power analysis results using the Fujiwara regression formula (ISO15016:2015) and Computational fluid dynamics (Ryu et al., 2016; Jeon et al., 2017) analysis were compared. Wind speed and direction measured using an anemometer were used for wind-resistance calculation and the wave resistance was calculated using the wave-height and direction-data from weather information. Also, measured water temperature was used to calculate the increase in resistance owing to the deviation in water density. As a result, the SPA analysis using measured data and weather information was proved to be valid and able to identify the ship's resistance propulsion performance. Even with little difference in the air-resistance coefficient value, both methods provide sufficient accuracy for speed-power analysis. The differences were unnoticeable when the speed-power analysis results using each method were compared. Also, speed-power analysis results of the 8,600 TEU container ship in two draft conditions show acceptable trends when compared with the model test results and are also able to show power increase owing to hull fouling and aging. Thus, results of speed-power analysis of the existing 8,600 TEU container ship using the SPA program appropriately exhibit the characteristics of speed-power performance in deal conditions.
