In 2021, the Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP), a U.N. advisory research institute, cited container loss as one of six sources of marine litters in shipping. The sinking of the X-P ress Pearl in May 2021 caused a catastrophic environmental pollution accident in which the loaded containers were moved to the shore, and the plastic pellets were loaded inside covered the coast of Sri Lanka. With this history, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will discuss prevention and follow-up measures for container loss during ship voyages, as an agenda at the 8th Sub Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers meeting in September 2022. To establish Korea's response direction at the IMO meeting, this study identified major causes of container loss accidents, and considered the response through analysis based on the accident investigation report and related professional data. As a result, it was found that the major cause of container loss during voyages was the enlargement of container ships, bad weather, and poor loading of containers. In particular, the need to prepare countermeasures for the deterioration of the operational safety of large container ships due to bad weather was identified. Additionally, integrated monitoring of the implementation of international conventions is required, for the safe sea transportation of container cargo. In particular, in terms of preservation of the marine environment, it is necessary to supplement the system for the recovery of lost containers. Finally, it was found that it is necessary to establish systems that can complement each other in the shipbuilding and shipping industries, in terms of shipbuilding as well as ship operation, to fundamentally prevent container loss accidents at sea. It is judged that it is difficult to resolve the various factors of container loss at sea during voyages, by responding from an individual perspective.

In order to evaluate dredging results scientifically the system which can manage and estimate working process by monitoring dredging process in real-time needs to be constructed. We constructed real-time dredging management system for guidance of a dredging vessel and for survey of dredging construction. This system was designed to have functions of dredger location by GPS, ship direction measurement by GPS/Gyroscope combination, Grab position measurement, dredging depth measurement and correction. In addition, we developed the programs for controlling and operating the constructed system. The system could induce the vessel to accurate position and conduct dredging according to plan and the effectiveness of the system was evaluated through the results of application to actual dredging construction site.

Recently, the interest in marine leisure activities has been growing rapidly with the work-life balance trend. In response to this demand, the Korean government is supporting fostering and revitalizing the relevant industries and facilities. In particular, a marina has been making efforts to change itself into a resort with multiple amenities instead of a simple mooring facility. However, the facilities in a marina for the transport of marine leisure equipment mostly consist of cranes and boat-lifts using ropes, which can result in incidents such as damage and accidents during lifting or movement. This paper proposes the equipment and support system for the safe transportation of marine leisure ships. Aluminum transport equipment was designed by performing a structural analysis to achieve a lighter weight than the existing steel products. In addition, a safety support system with alarms for tilting or obstacles and a slope monitoring system was developed to enhance the safety during operation and transportation. The safety support system developed in this study was implemented and installed in the transport system, and verified through commissioning on land.

The application area based on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is continuously increasing as time passing by. In particular the UAVs which consist of more than four horizontal propellers and the functionality of VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) are utilized in diverse platforms and the application products due to their safety and aerodynamically simpler design and architectures. The most UAV missions are controlled by GCSs (Ground Control System). The GCSs are generally connected to the internet and get electrical map and environmental information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and so on. In this paper, we design a system for UAV system to have capability of approaching to a certain ship and monitoring her efficiently by using AIS (Auto Identification System) information. Furthermore we verify that adapting AIS on GCS side is more efficient through experiments.

연안표사는 해안의 정선이 후퇴해 침식이 심각해지는 한편, 항만·어항에서는 토사가 퇴적되어 선박이나 어선의 항로나 정박지 매몰로 선박의 항행 및 어업 활동에 지장을 초래하며 하천 하구부에서는 하구 폐쇄로 치수상의 문제점 등이 발생한다. 항만과 어항 관리자는 항로나 정박지의 매몰 대책에 대한 검토와 해안 관리자는 해안 보전 대책에 초점을 맞춰 제각기 목적을 위한 대책 검토를 수행하고 있다. 이처럼 매년 적지 않은 비용이 소요됨에도 불구하고 뚜렷하고 효과적인 대책 없이 연안에 인위적인 변화를 발생시켜 어디에선 모래가 퇴적되고 그 영향에 따라 또 다른 곳에서는 침식되는 악순환이 반복되고 있다. 연안침식 방지를 위한 대책을 구축하기 위해서는 어느 한 곳에 중점적인 대책이 아닌 표사계 전체의 관점에서 상호 간의 간섭 효과를 고려한 통합적인 관점으로부터 대책을 강구해야 할 것이다. 연안지역에서의 표사수지는 산지, 댐, 하천, 해안 등 각각의 영역으로부터 유입 및 유출에 따라 안정된 해안이 조성된다. 하지만 환경적 및 인위적 변화에 따라 안정된 표사수지는 파괴되며 이 영향에 따라 표사의 이동이 발생한다. 지금까지의 토사관리는 각각의 영역에서 재해저감 및 토사관리를 위한 여러 대책의 효과가 나타나고 있으나 통합적인 토사관리에 있어 상호간의 피드백이 단절되어 연안역에서 발생하는 침식에 대한 정확한 원인 규명에 많은 어려움과 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이처럼 통합적인 연안침식 관리를 위해서는 연안역으로 유입되는 토사의 이동 메커니즘 규명이 매우 중요하며 이를 바탕으로 정확한 유사량 산정을 통해 적절한 대책을 마련할 수 있다. 또한, 지역적 특징이 강한 우리나라에서는 통합적인 연안관리를 위한 구체적인 방안 검토가 이루어지고 있지 않지만, 일본에서는 지속적인 관측과 모니터링 조사를 통해 체계적인 관리를 수행하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일본에서 진행 중인 통합적인 토사관리 가이드라인에 따른 토사관리의 구체적인 방법과 그에 따른 정선변화 및 표수사지 체계를 산정하였다.

정밀한 위치결정에 사용되는 GPS는 초기 군사목적을 벗어나 자동차, 선박, 비행기 등의 항법은 물론 측량분야, 지각 및 구조물의 변위 감시, 우주, 통신, 국방 분야 등 매우 광범위한 분야에서 활용되고 있으며, 그 이용도가 급속히 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 GPS 관측값은 부정오차와 정오차 등 많은 오차를 포함하고 있기 때문에 이를 소거하거나 최소화하여야 한다. GPS 오차는 크게 위성궤도나 위성시간 오차등 위성에 관련된 오차, 수신기 잡음이나 다중경로 등 수신기 관련 오차, 그리고 대류권이나 전리층에 의한 전파 오차로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 오차들은 대부분 차분방법과 수학적 알고리즘에 의해 소거되거나 최소화되지만, 다중경로와 수신기 잡음은 소거하거나 축소할 수 없다. 다중경로는 관측당시의 수신기 주변환경에 따라 바뀌기 때문에 수학적으로 소거할 수 없으며, 수신기 잡음은 수신기 내부의 노이즈로 인하여 발생하기 때문에 소거하기가 상당히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 다중경로에 의한 GPS 기선변화를 알아보기 위해서 여러 조건하에서 정적 GPS 측량을 실시하였다. 먼저 정확한 좌표를 알고 있는 한 점에 GPS를 설치하고 다른 두 대의 GPS을 임의 점에 설치하였고, 이들 두 GPS 중에 하나의 수신기에 다중경로 환경을 설정하였다 정적 GPS 관측시 기선에 어떠한 변화가 오는 파악하기 위해서 기선처리와 망조정을 통해 기선길이와 좌표값을 산출하였다. 이러한 다중경로 실험은 구조물 모니터링 등 mm 정확도를 요구하는 GPS 측량에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

A fiber-optic liquid level sensor based on bending cantilever beam has been proposed. A fiber Bragg grating(FBG) embedded in the cantilever beam is used to sensing elements. The basic concept is elongation and constriction of the FBG corresponding to the liquid level variation. The best FBG position on the cantilever for obtaining the high sensitivity was 4 cm from the fixing point. When the liquid level moves up and down vertically, the Bragg wavelength is linearly shifted. But, the wavelength sensitivity of the FBG installed on the upper side of cantilever was four times better than that of the FBG equipped in the lateral side due to the difference of unit strain applied to the FBG. Intensity demodulation using the low-cost edge filter is used to interrogate the Bragg wavelength through converting the wavelength signals into the optical intensity ones. Experiment results show that the electrical output is exponentially proportional to the liquid level. But, it should be overcome for applying to the ships.

There are two purposes for the marine structures used for fossil fuel: transporting huge amounts of crude oil and petroleum products and producing petroleum resources on the ocean in an isolated operational environment. Both types of structures are exposed to dangerous situations by sea conditions. Such marine structures are greatly affected by ocean climate conditions and its changes. Because of such ocean climate changes, it has been necessary to monitor marine structures. This research discusses the difficulties with adopting a new methodology based on a ubiquitous sensor network and develops an optimized sensor network management system design for a marine structure.
