This paper discusses about the development of a visual sensor that can be installed in an automatic mooring device to detect the berthing condition of a vessel. Despite controlling the ship's speed and confirming its location to prevent accidents while berthing a vessel, ship collision occurs at the pier every year, causing great economic and environmental damage. Therefore, it is important to develop a visual system that can quickly obtain the information on the speed and location of the vessel to ensure safety of the berthing vessel. In this study, a visual sensor was developed to observe a ship through an image while berthing, and to properly check the ship's status according to the surrounding environment. To obtain the adequacy of the visual sensor to be developed, the sensor characteristics were analyzed in terms of information provided from the existing sensors, that is, detection range, real-timeness, accuracy, and precision. Based on these analysis data, we developed a 3D visual module that can acquire information on objects in real time by conducting conceptual designs of LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) type 3D visual system, driving mechanism, and position and force controller for motion tilting system. Finally, performance evaluation of the control system and scan speed test were executed, and the effectiveness of the developed system was confirmed through experiments.

방충재(Fender)는 함정의 안전한 접안, 계류 및 선체를 보호하기 위하여 설치된 중요한 안벽시설 중 하나이다. 기존의 고무 방충재는 초기변형 28~30% 정도에서 가장 높은 반력이 발생하여 함정에 지속적인 힘을 가해주기 때문에 선체에 찌그러짐(dent)이 발생하게 되고, 검정색이 착색되기도 하여 선체에 심대한 훼손이 발생하게 된다. 이런 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 초기 반력이 적어 선체의 손상을 일으키지 않고 착색이 되어 선체가 더러워지는 현상을 막는 폼필드 펜더(Foam Filled Fender)를 직접 제작하여 그 결과를 제시하기로 한다.

본 연구에서는 승선환경에 관한 기초연구로서 승선 및 유람선 터미널의 공간 및 시설과 관련된 법적 문제에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 육상대중교통의 탑승과 관련된 법령과 규정에 비해 시설별 세부규정이 미흡하고, 유람선터미널 역시 탑승객 수용능력별 시설기준이 요구된다. 2) 터미널의 대기공간과 승강장은 법에 따라 기본시설이 갖춰지지 않은 곳으로 탑승능력을 수용할 수 있는 좁은 공간이다. 3) 현측 접안과 선수측 접안을 유람선 선착장의 승강 공간과 사용 시설 등을 고려하여 적절히 사용해야한다.

Mooring bollards are the mandatory facility in ports for they are the objects used to fasten the ship to its position at the berth. All the mooring bollards were installed following suggested sizes, numbers, materials and shape of installation according to Port and Fishing Design Standards. However, Korea has no management standard for use of mooring bollards to safety in ship berthing. In this research, the installation standard for mooring bollards including the holding power applied to mooring bollards in berthing was studied. Also, the performance of mooring bollards for minimum safety guarantee in berthing based on research of various specification by their sizes was analyzed. The analysis on mooring bollards was examined by each power on mooring bollards from the applied force in berthing divided into horizontal and vertical direction in order to examine the performance of domestic mooring bollards, the limit force is calculated based on detailed specification research result. As a result, the working stress according to the towing force was found to be at least 150Mpa and it was evaluated to be 60% of the limit strength. Also, by comparing each forces, the appropriateness was examined and the specification of maximum capability calculated. This performance evaluation method based on detail specification of mooring bollards will be expected to be useful to examine the appropriateness of mooring bollards for various types of vessel in berthing and to develop maintenance and management standard through the performance change evaluation referring to mooring bollard detailed specification changes.

Local management trade ports are small-sized trade ports, which require active operation to strengthen the local cities' economic power and enhance the local industries' added value. In addition, local management trade ports should berth ships larger than the existing ships to increase efficiency and keep up with the international trend where ships are becoming larger. Furthermore, they should also prepare operating standards. This study selected Okgye Port among local management trade ports. We performed a mooring safety simulation evaluation according to the scenario where a 50,000 DWT vessel is moored at the current 20,000 DWT class pier. The emergency departure criteria were 27kts at 3.2s of wave period and 22kts at 5.0s of wave period at the existing pier. Results showed that mooring limit condition increased by about 50% to 41kts at 3.2s of wave period and 36kts at 5.0s of wave period. This study can be used for strengthening mooring facilities and setting operational standards for safe port operation when large ships are berthing.

대형선이 입출항하기 위한 항만 및 부두의 건설은 이미 포화상태에 이르러 중소규모의 조선단지 및 발전소 운영을 위한 선박통항 수요가 발생하고 있다. 접안시설 건설비용을 절감하기 위하여 선박의 조종성능을 우수하게 건조하여 투입하여 기존의 안전성 평가에 대한 대책과는 다른 대책을 수립하여야 안전성을 향상할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 부두 및 방파제가 미리 건설된 상황에서 통항예정 선박을 한정하여 안전성 평가를 수행하고 도출된 문제점에 대한 해결방안을 제시하였다.

Due to the recent climate change caused by global warming, weather changes in a different pattern from the past have occurred, and the increase in seawater temperature has led to an increase in the size and intensity of typhoons. Accordingly, there is an increasing need for bitts that can be used to secure mooring safety of the ship when a sudden gust occurs. Based on 12 scenarios of a mooring safety evaluation program, this study analyzed the criteria for arranging bollard and bitt, and analyzed the sensitivity of mooring safety when using storm bitts. As a result of the evaluation, it was analyzed that the mooring factor value decreased compared to the general mooring line arrangement when the fore and stern breastline were added to the bitts for gusts. The results of this study can be used as basic data for proposing storm bitts arrangements for gusts in consideration of the characteristics of berth ships and ports. From the perspective of ship operators, storm bitts at the pier will be an effective method for securing the ship's mooring safety in case of a gust of wind.

As trade cross the world is increasing these days, safe and effective management of harbour system is becoming important issue. With this background, the development of automatic time-domain simulation programme for ship berthing operation has been being peformed and PD (Proportional Derivative) controller has been used to control the speed and the heading angle of ships. This paper provides feasibility study for developing the time-domain simulation programme for berthing operation of ships with analysing advantages and drawbacks of the two different mathematical models, one is for low advance speed of ships by Kose (1984) and the other is MMG model for normal advance speed, through the simulations with various initial heading angles and positions of the ship.

The IMO has adopted emission standards that strictly restrict the use of bunker C oil for vessels. Accordingly, research and bunkering pilot projects for LNG fueled ships are being actively carried out, which is expected to substantially reduce environmental pollution. In this study, we have adopted the turret moored Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal (FLBT) designed to receive the LNG from LNGCs and to transfer LNG to LNG bunkering shuttles in ship to ship moored condition. Numerical simulations have been performed with a 1-year return period of wind, wave, and current. Damping values of numerical model were adjusted from the results of model tests to obtain accurate simulation results. The results confirm safe berthing operation during the 1-year return period of environmental condition. Safety depends on the direction of environment, with increasingly stable operation facilitated by the application of heading-control function of FLBT to avoid beam-sea conditions.
