Deck wetness phonomena has long been considered as one of the factors that degrade the performance of a ship in waves. In rough weather, the frequent shipping of water may give rise to the capsizing of the ship. Therefore an appropriate above water bow design is an improtant assert to a ship of which successful performance in rough weather is a prerequisite such as a warship. In this paper the experimental technique for estimation of deck wetness frequency is presented. The results of the model tests are compared with those of calculation using Ochi's formula. Finally the applicability of Ochi's formula is discussed.

The Seakeeping committee of Korea Towing Tank Conference executed the cooperative experimental study on deck wetting phenomena using S-175 contatiner model ships. Two members, Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering(KRISO) and Hyundai Maritime Research Institute(HMRI) participated in the study. This study was initiated by the ITTC(International Towing Tank Conference) Seakeeping Committee as the cooperative study of the 19th ITTC aiming at the establishement of the model test procedure on the deck wetting phenomena. Special emphasis was made on the determination of reliable record length for experimental measurement on rarely occurring events(such as deck wetness, slamming etc). Comparisons were made on both the test results and the test procedrues in this research. The measured frequencies of deck wetting show remarkable deviations between the runs. This fart implies that sufficiently long record length is required in the deck wetness measurement compared to the conventional ship motion tests. Careful considerations were made on the physical interpretation of the deck wetting phenomena, the correlation between the measured relative motion at stemhead and the measured deck wetness, and the estimation of deck wetting frequencies by Poisson process.

As ocean resources in shallow water areas are being exhausted, deep sea development is becoming common these days. Therefore floating type offshore structures are more competitive than fixed type structures, and FPSO is the most popular one these days. FPSO's are generally operated in a specific region and positioned to meet mostly head or bow waves in order to reduce roll motions. However this makes these vessels more vulnerable to green water around the bow region, and therefore the bow shape must be properly designed to mitigate green water damage. In the present study, experimental results for three different FPSO bow shapes in regular head waves were analyzed and compared to each other. Also CFD computations were carried out as a sample validation case for the database built for CFD code validation.

황천 운항 중인 선박은 파도에 의한 과도한 운동과 그로 인한 슬래밍, 프로펠러노출, 갑판침수와 같은 현상으로 구조, 화물, 인명에 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 이 때문에 황천 시 선박은 안전 운항을 위하여 속도와 코스를 신중히 결정할 필요가 있다. 선박 운동 모니터링 시스템은 해상환경이 선박에 미치는 다양한 위험 상황을 사전에 예측하고 피할 수 있도록 의사 결정을 지원하며, 현재 선박의 운동상태와 구조적 안정성을 지속적으로 모니터링 함으로써 선박, 선원, 화물의 안전을 지원할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 본 시스템은 주파수 영역에서 New strip 방법에 기초하여 운동 응답과 수직 굽힘 모멘트를 계산하며, 슬래밍, 프로펠러노출, 갑판침수를 예측한다. 또한 선박 운동과 선체구조응력을 실시간으로 모니터링하여 과도한 선체운동이나 선체구조피로 등의 위험 상황을 표시하고 선원의 작업성과 승선감의 지표인 MII (Motion induced interruption), MSI (Motion sickness incidence)를 제공한다.
