This study applied the statistically significant factors to the short-run model in the existing nonlinear long-run equilibrium relation analysis for the forecasting of maritime economy using the mixed cycle model. The most common univariate AR(1) model and out-of-sample forecasting are compared with the root mean squared forecasting error from the mixed-frequency model, and the prediction power of the mixed-frequency approach is confirmed to be better than the AR(1) model. The empirical results from the analysis suggest that the new approach of high-level mixed frequency model is a useful for forecasting marine industry. It is consistent that the inclusion of more information, such as higher frequency, in the analysis of long-run equilibrium framework is likely to improve the forecasting power of short-run models in multivariate time series analysis.

More and more shipping containers are falling into the sea due to bad weather. Containers lost at sea negatively affect the shipping line, the trader and the consumer, and the environment. The question of locating and recovering dropped containers is a challenging engineering problem. Model-testing of small-scaled container models is proposed as an efficient way to investigate their falling trajectories to salvage them. In this study, we first build a standard 20-ft container model in SOLIDWORKS. Then, a three-dimensional (3D) geometric model in the STL (Standard Tessellation Language) format is exported to a Stratasys F170 Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printer. In total, six models were made of acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) and printed for the purpose of testing. They represent three different loading conditions with different densities and center of gravity (COG). Two samples for each condition were tested. The physical models were dropped into the towing tank of University of New Orleans (UNO). From the experimental tests, it is found that the impact of the initial position after sinking can cause a certain initial rolling velocity, which may have a great impact on the lateral displacement, and subsequently affect the final landing position. This series of model tests not only provide experimental data for the study of the trajectory of box-shape objects but also provide a valuable reference for maritime salvage operations and for the pipeline layout design.

An active stimulating device, such as a fluttering net or canvas attached to the end of a cod end generating a shaking motion, could help to encourage the escape of juvenile fish positioned passively near the net. Field fishing trials using a shrimp beam trawl were carried out to examine the effect on the reduction of juvenile fish or other discard catch by generating a shaking movement of the cod end using an unbiased cap-like round canvas. The mean period of the shaking motion with the round canvas was ~14 s, and the mean amplitude was 0.4 m as measured by peak event analysis and the global wavelet method. The bycatch of juvenile fish in 14 trials decreased by ~30% and by ~25% using a steady cod end for the total bycatch using a shaking cod end in the shrimp beam trawl, while the marketing catch was similar between steady and shaking cod ends. There was no difference in the body size of the shrimp or fish and species composition between the steady and shaking cod ends. Above results demonstrate a new method for bycatch reduction using an active stimulating device, although more detailed studies are needed.

This research presents a method for the initial structural design of a multi-megawatt wind turbine blade. The structural data for a 2-MW blade were applied as the blade structural characteristic data of the reference blade. Tenkinds of blade models were newly designed by replacing the spar cap axial GRRP with a GFRP and CFRP These terms should be defined. at different orientations. The axial stiffness coefficients of the newly designed models were made equal to the coefficient of the reference blade. The required numbers of layers in each section of blades were calculated, and the lay-up designs were based on these numbers. Verification results showed that the design method that used the structural data of the reference blade was appropriate for the initial structural design of a wind turbine blade.

The catch composition of commercially important species of the stationary lift net at Barangay Gines, Miagao, Iloilo, the Philippines was investigated from December 2013 to May 2014 during the different phases of the moon. A total of 486 kg of fish coming from 12 different genera, including mollusk and crustaceans, was caught and identified from the catch of the stationary lift net. Among the 12 genera identified from the catch of stationary lift net, anchovy (Stolephorus), sardines (Sardinella), squid (Loligo) and mysid shrimp (Acetes) were considered to be commercially important due to their value. Acetes catch was highest during the new moon in the month of January. Loligo catch was also high during the new moon except in the month of May. Stolephorus catch was also highest during the new moon except in the month of January. Sardinella catch was highest during the first quarter in the month of February. Full moon had the lowest catch all throughout the duration of the study while new moon had the highest catch during December 2013 to March 2014 and first quarter was the highest in the months of April and May.

Sik-hae is a traditional and well-liked salt-fermented seafood with a low salt concentration in Korea. However, it is challenging to find data on market degradation. This study was conducted to investigate sensual characteristics, such as taste, odor and color, of 10 types of commercial Sik-haes [flounder (5 type), Alaska pollock (2 type), black edged sculpin, anchovy, and sandfish] as basic data for developing new products. The salinities of the commercial Sik-haes were significantly difference in the range of 3.0-6.7%. The pH and total acidity of 10 types of commercial Sik-haes were 4.45-5.24 and 0.84-1.46 g/100 g, respectively. The amino acid nitrogen and free amino acid contents, and total taste value were 72.0-333.0 mg/100 g, 425.6-1,726.4 mg/100 g and 17.0-115.9, respectively. According to the taste value, the major taste-related amino acids were aspartic acid and glutamic acid. Volatile basic nitrogen content and Hunter redness value of commercial Sik-haes were 24.5-80.9 mg/100 g and 10.9-28.5, respectively. However, food-grade additives, such as citric acid and monosodium, are occasionally used in commercial Sik-haes to achieve a lower pH or enhance flavor and aroma.

This study was conducted to obtain basic data for developing a special salted mackerel. For this purpose, food quality characterization data on 11 kinds of salted commercial mackerels were gathered. Korean Industrial Standards (KSH 6029) stipulate that a salted mackerel should be less than $1.0{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$ in viable cells, negative for Escherichia coli, less than 50 mg% for volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and less than 3% for salinity. Only one sample (code 10) among the 11 kinds of commercial salted mackerels is believed to posses acceptable limits according to KSH 6029. The others except code 2 and 4 showed less than 50 mg/kg in histamine content, a safe range for allergies. The peroxide values of 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11 in sample code were lower than 22 meq/kg, which were low compared to the other salted mackerels. The major fatty acids of all salted mackerels were 16:0 (13.2-22.1%), 18:1n-9 (11.7-23.1%), and 22:6n-3 (13.5-20.4%). The Hunter color values ranged from 31.1 to 51.0 (average 37.9) for lightness, from 0.6 to 8.1 (average 3.3) for redness, from -2.9 to 9.3 (average 5.8) for yellowness, and from 46.8 to 65.8 (average 59.5) for color difference. From these results, it was concluded that the code 10 is superior than the other salted mackerels. Thus, a new salted mackerel product should be superior or similar to the food quality characteristics of this sample.

Korea ship management industry originated from overseas seamen employment business since 1963 in the Republic of Korea. Recently, new trend of shipping business has developed in a separate way with ship's ownership and management, that is, cargo business which is in charge of shipowner and practical affairs for ship operation which is in charge of specialized ship management company. Ship Management Industry is being focused as a new development engine with the anticipation of continuous development over 10% a year leading a competitiveness and saving cost in the world market. Therefore, "Draft Ship Management Industry Development Act" was suggested by the shipping business group and academic scholars as a result of continuous research for a long time. This was also submitted to the national assembly for adoption as a national law. The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution to the development of Korea ship management industry through the consideration of each article of this draft Act implications and suggestion of legal and institutional improvements. The result of this study will ultimately contribute to the growth of the Korean ship management industry and enhance their business scope internationally. For the above mentioned purpose, I focus on nurturing and supporting Korea ship management industry, and accreditation of superior ship management industry, etc. within the scope of the submitted draft act.
