Korea is one of the world's major oil importers. And a few domestic ports are operating SBMs for transferring imported crude oil to shore facilities. Recently, Ulsan port is planning to install additional new SBM and to move the existing two SBMs to other places according to the establishment of breakwater caused by the development of Ulsan New Port. However, there are no systematic and consistent standards for fixing the most suitable position domestically and internationally. This study aims to propose the standard of SBM installation using SAW after analyzing the examples of SBM operation and previous researches at home and abroad, and proposing the distribution rate based on opinion survey of exports and related organizations.
