As international environmental regulations for pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions discharged from ships are being reinforced, it is drawing attention to use LNG as ship fuel. This paper compares the explosion risk potential in the LNG fuel gas supply systems of two types used in marine LNG fuelled vessels. By selecting 8500 TEU class container ships as target, LNG storage tank was designed and pressure conditions were assumed for the use of each fuel supply type. The leak hole sizes were divided into three categories, and the leak frequencies for each category were estimated. The sizes of the representative leak holes and release rates were estimated. The release rate and the leak frequency showed an inverse relationship. The pump type fuel gas supply system showed high leak frequency, and the pressure type fuel gas supply system showed high release rate. Computational fluid dynamics simulation was applied to perform a comparative analysis of the explosion risk potential of each fuel supply system.

Harmful aquatic organisms introduced by ship movement cause marine ecosystem disturbances and are in the form of ballastwater and biofouling. Harmful marine life from ballastwater has been considerably reduced because mandatory treatment on all vessels is required to install onboard vessels. However, there remains risk of migration because biofouling is recommended to countries for management through the IMO guidelines. In particular, biofouling management has recently attracted attention for achieving IMO GHG reduction targets because it contributes to energy efficiency, as well as there are reasons for marine ecosystem protection. In recent years, increasing international consensus on the need for biofouling management is likely to lead to enforcement regulations. Thus, this study suggests the management method of hull attachment organisms in Korea, focusing on the cases of foreign countries that have regulated hull attachment organisms.

The International Maritime Organization is at the forefront of strengthening gas emission regulations for ships globally. The Korean government needs to apply measures to reduce emissions, such as setting a basic roadmap for greenhouse gas reduction. In addition, there is an urgent need to introduce a new efficient propulsion system that can reduce gas emissions. This includes applications to fishing vessels, which account for 90.6% of the greenhouse gas emissions from ships sailing along domestic coasts. In this study, an electric-combined propulsion system applicable to domestic coastal fishing vessels was developed. The target ship to which the electric-combined propulsion system could be applied was selected. A simulation system was constructed using MATLAB/Simulink to compare the expected fuel consumption when applying the developed complex electric propulsion system to the propulsion system mounted on the selected target fishing vessel. Through simulations, the differences in fuel consumption between the mechanical propulsion system and the electric hybrid propulsion system (both when charging and not charging the battery on land) were confirmed. The results show that fuel consumption can be decreased by approximately 13% and 16% when applying the electric-combined propulsion system.

IMO에서는 MEPC58차, 59차 회기에서 선박평형수, 온실가스, 선박재활용 등 약 20종의 의제가 논의되었으며 이들 중에서 시급성을 요하는 NOx, SOx 강화기준, 유조선간 유류이송, IOPP증서 및 기름기록부의 양식변경 등에 관한 MARPOL 부속서6 및 1의 결의사항에 대하여 국내의 해양환경법에도 국제협약의 개정사항을 수용해야 한다. 또한, 정부에서는 현행의 해양 환경관리법에서 선박오염방지에 관한 법률을 분리제정하려는 동향이 있는 바 정부시책에 동참하는 선상에서 국제협약의 개정사항을 반영한 선박해양오염방지에 관한 법률 제정안을 선박검사 기관의 입장에서 제시한다.

국제적으로 해운분야 등 온실가스 배출량 규제를 강화하고 있으며, 정부에서도 '저탄소 녹색성장'을 위한 신재생 에너지 비율을 확대 추진함에 따라 육상 녹색성장을 위한 시도는 활발히 이루어지고 있으나, 친환경 에너지를 선박에 이용한 노력은 부족한 실정이다. 또한 현재까지 연구된 태양광 시스템의 경우 기존 선박의 동력을 대체하여 추진용으로 사용하기에는 실용성이 없으므로, 기존 선박 발전시스템을 연계한 태양광 하이브리드 발전시스템의 연구개발이 필요하며, 따라서 태양광을 선박용 에너지로 활용하기 위한 선박용 하이브리드 발전 시스템 개념 설계 및 설치 기준에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.

As interest in greenhouse gas reduction has increased in all sectors, the discussion of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to regulate pollution by ships is attracting attention in international shipping. At the 80th IMO MEPC held in July 2023, the 「2023 IMO Strategy for the Reduction of Green House Gases from Ships (MEPC. 377(80))」 was adopted, which included the net-zero target around 2050, and a firm intention to the decarbonization of the international shipping sector showed. In particular, energy, fuel and technology targets for zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 were added as new targets, and total greenhouse gas emission checkpoints for 2030 and 2040 were added as an indicator for achieving the 2050 target. The IMO's goal setting for 2030, which is about seven years away, will impose a lot of technical, economic, and political burden despite the decarbonization technology of international shipping, which has grown to a significant level in a short period of time. Accordingly, this paper presents the comprehensive impact of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy on international shipping.

국제무역지수의 증가로 인한 해상운송 및 항만개발수요의 증가는 국제해사기구(IMO)를 중심으로 선박기인 대기오염, 특히 온실가스 배출규제의 강화를 초래하였다. 이러한 국제환경규제에 대응하고 선박 및 항만기인 환경오염 저감을 통한 자국민의 후생증진을 위하여 미국과 유럽을 중심으로 Green Port 정책의 시행이 점점 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라 우리나라도 2010년 녹색성장기본법을 재정하고 국가 Green Port 구축 종합계획을 수립하여 각 항만별 그린포트 구축계획의 수립 및 이행을 촉구하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 동북아시아 오일허브 항만을 지향하는 울산항의 지속가능한 친환경 항만운영을 위한 울산항의 Green Port 정책방안의 수립에 있다. 이를 위해 울산항의 친환경 항만정책의 현황 및 문제점을 살펴보고, 해외 해양선진국의 그린포트구축 사례분석과 전문가 자문 및 설문조사를 통하여 울산항 그린포트 구축방안을 도출하였다. 그리고 도출된 방안에 대하여 전문가 AHP 설문조사 및 분석을 통해 울산항에 도입해야 할 그린포트 구축방안에 대한 우선순위를 도출하였다. 마지막으로 울산항의 특성에 맞는 지속적인 그린포트 정책의 시행을 위한 여려 정책대안을 제시하였다.

A future type ship power system requires both economic and eco-friendliness. That is, this should be reduced the discharge quantity of air pollutants and green-house gases as well as have high energy efficiency. Recently, gas turbines have been realized a lot of technical development in terms of efficiency and safety, and are widening the example of their adoption to a GT/ST hybrid system in a power plant as well as an aviation use. This paper reviewed the performance characteristics of a GT/ST hybrid system of several ten MW class, not large capacity, with a simulation in order to evaluate the possibility of a GT/ST hybrid system for ships. The reviewed GT/ST hybrid system has maximum 49 % efficiency, has the highest efficiency point for TIT, and has a 70~75 % and 25~30 % load ratio for a gas turbine and a steam turbine respectively.
