Simulation visualization technology is an important constituent through which users directly interact with simulators. Simulator users have a needs for more fast, realistic and intuitive visualization. Though hardware-related performances such as computing power and visual equipment have been grown, the limits have existed in graphics rendering engines generally used in marine simulator up to now. This paper has focused on the review of graphic rendering engines available for simulation visualization. We had deduced system requirements for visualization of ship handling simulation, had surveyed graphic rendering engines as commercial and open source, and analyzed strengths and weakness of them. The feasibility study for simulation visualization of tug-barge transportation with an open source graphics rendering engine(OGRE3D) has been demonstrated.

Currently, ECDIS and GPS plotters are much used as equipment providing operators with route information, but they do not have any function of automatic route creation and route explanation, so available for only experienced operators. Especially, the present situation is tint no study is made of the automatic route creation and route explanation using ENC for ECDIS, substitution system of paper chart. ENC is the electronic navigation chart that is produced using S-52, S-57 standard format required by IHQ. In this paper, an Vessel Operator Support System(VOSS) is proposed to generate an optimal route where ENC and GPS data is fusioned induding the wind direction and speed of an anemometer and tide data. The proposed system was testified by a simulation, and its effectiveness was verified.

To develop a sailing yacht successfully, systematic engineering information is required including technologies from various companies and know-how about sailing yacht. The engineering information about sailing yacht has a complex and extensive structure. Therefore, a robust and high-level of management system is needed to manage the information. In this paper, we design and propose Generic-YWBS (Generic-Yacht Work Breakdown Structure), a work breakdown structure for sailing yachts. The Generic-YWBS is aimed at constructing sailing yachts and contains contents about product- and process-oriented information of sailing yachts. In addition, the Generic-YWBS plays an important role in managing the engineering information as a basic schema of database and system architecture. The Generic-YWBS is derived from fundamental WBS design processes and various rules about sailing yachts, for example, ISAF (International Sailing Federation) equipment rule and IRC rating rule, and a generic structure concept is applied for flexibility. The Generic-YWBS is applicable for various purposes. We designed a detailed code system in order to apply the Generic-YWBS to contents management system. The series of activities are realized through a web-based RIA(Rich Internet Application) program. This program manages the YWBS structure in an XML schema, and the Generic-YWBS management application offers a customizing function to be adapted in the field.

Resistivity seismic dilatometer (RSDMT) system is introduced. The resistivity module for obtaining resistivity-depth plot and seismic module for obtaining wave velocity-depth plot are attached to the conventional flat dilatometer testing equipment. To enhance the reliability and repeatability of seismic part in RSDMT, automatic testing system including automatic surface source, PC based data acquisition system and operating program was constructed. To obtain real resistivity value of soil, geometric factor for the array of electrodes in RSDMT was derived empirically. The verification studies for the developed RSDMT system were performed with SPT, CPTu, bender element test and DC resistivity survey. Through one penetration of RSDMT, various soil parameters were obtained and the reliability and repeatability of developed RSDMT system could be checked.

Marine accidents of 70.9% have been caused by small ships less than 100 tons in the past 5 years(1998${\sim}$2002). This is ascribable to the graying and lack in expertise on shipping of small ship operators, and merchant ships are hindered from coastal navigation due to the increase of coastal fishing boats and liners. Currently, ECDIS and GPS Plotters are widely used as navigation equipment providing route information to operators, but it can not give any function of automatic route creation and route explanation, so they are available only experienced operators. Especially, the present situation is that no study is made of the automatic route creation and route explanation using ENC for ECDIS, substitution system of paper chart. In this paper, Navigation Guiding System(NGS) is proposed to generate an optimal route where ENC and GPS data is fusioned including the wind speed and direction of anemometer. The proposed system was testified by a simulation, and its effectiveness was verified.

The container crane is one of the most important equipment in container terminal. If its working time in cycle could be reduced then container terminal efficiency and service level can be increased. So there are many efforts to reduce working time of container crane. It means how to design the controller with good performance which has small overshoot and swing motion of container crane. We, in this paper, present a state feedback controller not based on LQ theory but RCGA which means real-coded genetic algorithms. RCGA can search state feedback gains in given objective function. several cases of simulations are carried out in order to prove the control effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Lab scale experiment was carried out to study biological wastewater treatment technology developed for shipboard. RCM process using BM(Beneficial Microorganisms) was investigated for practical application on shipboard sewage treatment. RCM process is an environmental friendly treatment system, with minimum production of sludge. In the test, BOD5, CODcr, T-N and T-P were reduced a 96%, 97%, 78% and 81.68% respectively. From the result it was suggested that RCM process with BM might be a suitable process for shipboard sewage treatment, maintenance of useful microorganisms and creating special environment as the SDC tank is circulating in the non-biodegradable organics sludge generated during the wastewater treatment, thus reducing the amount of sludge generated. Therefore, the RCM process does not require additional equipment to strengthen it to meet the marine pollution standards.

To meet the increasing demand from various fishing fields for training of fishing equipment operators, a fishing winch simulator was designed to train maritime students in the correct and safe operation of hydraulic winches under various load conditions related to fishing operations. The aim of this study is to describe the basic dynamic characteristics of the newly developed hydraulic fishing winch simulator and particularly to analyze the mechanical responses produced on the winch operation controls. The winch simulator consists of two winch units, a computer control and data acquisition system, a control consol and other associated mechanisms. When one winch is in hauling mode, the other one will always be in loading mode. The revolution speed of the hauling winch was controlled by a proportional directional control valve, and the braking torque of the loading winch was controlled by a proportional pressure control valve. The simulation experiments indicated that the dynamic characteristics of the hauling winch followed the braking response characteristics of the loading winch. The tests also showed that the warp speed and tension linearly depend on the pressure differential across the motor of the loading winch controlled by operating the proportional pressure control valve during the hauling operation. The experience gained from various training courses showed that the fishing winch simulator was very realistic and it was valuable for training novice winch operators. The results of the winch simulation exercise were recorded and used to evaluate the training on the operation and handling of the winch system. From these test results, we concluded that the tension acting on the warp during hauling operations can successfully be simulated by controlling the pressure differential across the motor with step changes of the control input signal to the proportional pressure control valve of the loading winch.

Electronic Navigational Charts(ENCs) are a database for the use of supporting the safety of navigation in marie voyage embedded within the navigational information in the Electronic Chart Display & Information System(ECDIS). Recently IMO made a decision on the mandatory equipment resolution of ECDIS for the international SOLAS vessels until 2018. With this regulation intention together the spontaneous uses from the wide range of marine applications are accelerating the increasing demand for ENCs at both of the navigational purpose and the non-navigational purpose. But there seems to be not enough guidelines or systematic approach for the service of the non navigational purpose. This paper deals with ENCs distribution issues. We present a integrated solution for the ENCs service of both user domains and also demonstrate the implemented results.
