사고선박을 예선(또는 예인선)을 이용하여 안전한 곳으로 이동시키기 위해서는 예인소요마력을 계산하여 예선의 척수를 결정해야 한다. 예선의 신속한 투입은 잠재적인 환경오염 및 사고선박의 2차적인 피해로의 확산을 예방할 수 있다. 하지만, 국내에는 아직까지 사고선박의 형태, 크기, 외력조건에 따라 지원되어야 할 예선의 척수 산정 및 최적의 배치방법에 대한 정량적이고 체계적인 결정 시스템이 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실선을 활용한 소요마력 측정을 위한 실험방법의 제시와 상황에 따른 예선의 다양한 배치에 따른 장력 측정 방법을 제시하고, 이러한 실험을 통하여 얻은 결과를 이론계산 결과와 비교 분석함으로써 추후 구축하게 될 사고선박 예인지원시스템 프로그램 개발을 위한 이론식을 정립하고자 한다.

In 2020, 24,000 TEU ultra-large container ships began arriving at the Busan New Port. In this study, the wind pressure and hydraulic force acting on the hull were calculated to obtain the horsepower required for the tugboats for safe berthing and unberthing of a 24,000 TEU ultra-large container ship at the Busan New Port. When the wind speed is 10 m/s (20 kts), 13,000 TEU container ships meet the tug horsepower standard of the current Busan port tugboat operation rules, but 16,000 TEU and 24,000 TEU container ships do not satisfy the regulations. Therefore, it was proposed to raise the standards for tugboat use by dividing the size of ships of "G/T 150,000 tons or more," which is the largest vessel under the current tugboat use standards, into two stages. Because 140,000 tons requires 12,100 horsepower, 170,000 tons requires 14,500 horsepower, and 230,000 tons requires 18,000 horsepower, the study proposed 16,000 horsepower for 150,000 to less than 200,000 tons and 18,000 horsepower for 200,000 tons or more for the use of tugboats.

The criteria of tugboat requirement in domestic trading ports have been determined by the administrator of regional maritime affairs and port office on the basis of the regulations for the tugboat operations and management. But, there is a little confusion that the criteria of tugboat requirement and method for calculation of them are different from port to port and total power calculated on the basis of power per tugboat requirements by the number of tugs is not in accordance with total required power for the use of tug in several ports. The comparison of tugboat requirements among domestic major ports showed that it should be necessary for the criteria to be made in unified form. Because the current criteria are only on the basis q the ordinary condition with wind velocity under 10m/s, the criteria on the condition of the wind velocity over 10m/s are suggested to be necessary for the precautions against a disaster such as unexpected strong winds or typhoon.

안전운항 관점에서 보았을 때, 평택당진항에 입출항하는 거대형선(Vale Max급)의 접안조종운동에 대해서 이론적으로 검토하고 소요예선마력 및 조석류의 강도와 접안 한계를 파악하는 것이 이 연구의 주된 목적이다.

2019년 2월 28일 용호부두에서 러시아 화물선이 예선을 사용하지 않고 출항하면서 계류 요트와 1차 충돌하고 이어 2차로 광안대교와 충돌하였다. 선박의 진행에 따라 전심의 위치가 변하며, 특히 예선을 사용할 때는 전심의 위치가 달라지게 된다. 조선자가 예선의 도움을 받는 상황에서 의도하는 조종을 하기 위해서는 예선의 예항력의 크기와 전심의 위치 그리고 속력을 고려하여야 한다. 본 고에서는 예선지원여부와 접이안 자세에 따른 선박조종법을 소개하고, 안전조선 대책을 제시하였다.

경인 아라뱃길이 2011년 10월 개장을 앞두고 있다. 경인 아라뱃길이 시작되는 경인항 서해갑문 입출거시 예선사용기준에 대한 연구는 선박운항의 경제성 측면에서 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다고 할 수 있다. 통상 선박의 크기(톤수)에 따른 예선의 소요마력 및 사용 척수는 대상선박의 크기, 모양, 접근수로, 부두시설의 위치 및 종류, 기타 환경조건 등의 영향을 받으며, 선체에 작용하는 수면상부의 풍압력과 수면하부의 유압력을 고려하여 규정하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내외 예선 규정 및 대상선박에 대한 예선 조종시뮬레이션을 통하여 경인항 서해갑문 입출거시 사용되는 예선의 기준을 설정하였다.

The use of tugboats for the safe berthing/unberthing of ships is the most crucial factor in the safe and efficient operation of the harbor. However, the adequate number and size of tugboats that should be held based on the characteristics of the port have not been investigated in detail, which causes disputes between involved parties. Therefore, the suitable number of tugboats and the ratio of the tugboat horsepower were determined in this study using simulation techniques, with focus on Ulsan Port. First, the ship and tugboat-operating models were designed for simulation application. Next, the input variables defined in the model design were standardized in an inputtable form using ARENA software. In addition, the arrival and division process of the ship was designed and simulated as an ARENA model. Finally, the simulation results for six scenarios showed that an effective tugboat operation could be achieved when 42 tugboats were held at Ulsan Port.

It is necessary to accurately evaluate the resistance performance and estimate the towing power of a tugboat for safety towing operation at actual seas. In this study, we have carried out the model tests firstly to investigate the resistance performance and flow characteristics around the tugboat in still water. The experiments are performed in infinite depth in circulation tank using 1/33.75 scaled model from 5kts to 10kts(designed speed 7kts) considering the effect of adverse and favorable current. Then the numerical calculations are executed to analyze the response amplitude operator and added resistance on tugboat due to the waves. The results obtained by the present computation are compared with the those acquired from the experiments in still water. As a result, it is noted that the added resistance become larger at head sea and higher speed conditions. We can also observe that the EHP increase 70 percent in comparison with those in still water.

A tugboat (tug) is a boat that maneuvers vessels by pushing or towing them. Tugs move vessels that should not move themselves alone, such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow canal, or those that cannot move themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, or oil platforms. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, some are ocean-going. Historically tugboats were the first seagoing vessels to receive steam propulsion, freedom from the restraint of the wind, and capability of going in any direction. As such, they were employed in harbors to assist ships in docking and departure. Towage is in essence a service by one vessel to another vessel for a fixed remuneration. The most common reason for requiring this service is the lack of its own motive power. Conventionally, towage is defined as "the employment of one vessel to expedite the voyage of another, when nothing more is required than the accelerating of her progress". Apart from accelerating vessels, acquiring towage service is a common practice for towing barges, platform of drilling oil, floating ship yards, etc.

It needed the calculation of the required tugboat's power to move the damaged vessel to the safe area for reducing the additional damages. In this paper, it was verified the theoretical calculation method on the required power of tugboat through the 93m real ship tests. From the experiments, it was considered that the theoretical calculation method was sufficient to estimate the required power of tugboat. The resistance of the locked propeller was relatively big portions compared with other static resistances such as air resistance, frictional resistance and residual resistance. And dynamic resistance induced by swing movement and yawing was continuously occurred and it also was great effects on the total resistance. In the future, the safety factor will be considered and the exact prediction of ship's resistance will enhance the efficiency of tugboat because of the minimization of safety factor.
