There is a growing concern about the damage to aquatic ecosystem caused by immigration of non-indigenous species. It is estimated that more than 10,000 million tons of ballast water is transported by shipping activities annually, and ballast water has been recognised as a major vector for the transplant of aquatic species across bio-geographical boundaries. The problem of harmful aquatic organism in ballast water for the control and management of ships' ballast water and sediments was adopted and diplomatic conference of IMO at February 2004. At once ballast water is transported by shipping activities for organic compounds, nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metal etc. but, It's fixing a focus only for the transported of pathogenic bacteria and non-indigenous species. Hence, this studies on the distribution of organic compounds, nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metal in ballast water during the shipping activity with the basic data which is necessary to the systemic manage of ballast water.

This study estimates the demands for safety training courses with reference to research on safety training records, seafarer statistics, target groups for safety training, expiry dates of existing safety courses, seafarer employment rates, the retirement age, etc. These results are compared with the seating capacity of the maritime training institute to analyze the anticipated increase in and convergence of demand can be accommodated. The average annual safety training needs for the next five years according to the Seafarers Act include approximately 10,444 people, and the proper annual seating capacity of the maritime training institute is approximately 7,280 people at present. Thus, in order to respond to an increasing demand for safety training, it is necessary to expand the capacity of the safety training facility.

Traditionally, UNCLOS stipulates that States have the obligation and responsibility to protect and preserve the marine environment and exercise their rights in Principle of Non-Discrimination with respect to foreign ships visiting to port states. UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol established Common but Differentiated Responsibility as the basis which is established on the historic responsibility. The principle in which IMO is presently developing the regulations of Green House Gas emitted from ships is contradict with the principle of UNFCCC regime. In this paper, the development and the principle of UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol is surveyed and it provides the tendency of the IMO activities regarding GHG emission from ships. Also, through consideration of the problems and restrictions drawn from comparison between two principles, the conclusion suggests the fundamental theory and implementation means in order to carry out the purpose of IMO regulations in accordance with the principles of UNCLOS and IMO Convention.

The discharge of ballast water from the marine vessel without proper treatment causes the ecological disruption. Therefore, International Marine Organization(IMO) has the plan to force the proper treatment of ballast water before its discharge to open sea. To satisfy the IMO's criteria, several processes such as filtration, UV irradiation, and ozonation etc., were introduced. Since the disinfection of ballast water should be conducted within very short hydrolic retention time, electrochemical treatment can be a promissing process. The DSA(dimensional stable anode) electrode for the electrochemical treatment was prepared by thermal deposition method. The disinfection rate of microorganisms increased with the increasing current density and reaction time under low pH condition. The morphology of sterilized microorganisms was shown by SEM and Microscopy.

The efforts for improving 'Maritime Traffic Safety Assessment Scheme(MTSA scheme)' have continued to the present since May 27th, 2009. But recently, there's a controversy about whether it has been performed properly or the results is significant. These new discussions were arose from lack of validity and appropriateness we had yet to find. At this point, it needs to establish sound MTSA scheme through the comprehensive review. This research developed a suitable meta-evaluation model for MSTA with applying theory of the teta-evaluation, that is the evaluation of evaluations and verified by using meta-evaluation methods like as literature studies, expert reviews, surveys and etc. The results of this study can be used to evaluate MTSA activities and it will contribute to improving MTSA scheme.

근년 일본, 캐나다, 호주, 미국, EU(주로 노르웨이, 영국) 등에서 인공위성을 이용한 해양 안전의 확보를 위한 연구개발이 진행되고 있으며, 일부 실해역 적용의 분야도 도출되고 있는 실정이다. 9.11테러 이후, 국제해사기구에서도 해상보안의 문제는 주요 이슈로 대두되어, 해상보안에의 활용 기술 개발이 먼저 시작되었다. 그 외, 밀입국 선박 감시 덴 해양오염 모니터링이 주요 활용분야이다. 간단하게 요약하면 다음과 같다. -노르웨이: Norwegian Defence Hesearch Establishment(NDRE)에서 주도적으로 선박 탐지 실험 및 기술 개발을 실시. 주로, ESA의 위성을 활용. 국가 보안의 목적으로는 적용을 하고 있음. -캐나다: 캐나다에서 소유하고 있는 RADARSAT을 이용하여 가장 많은 실험을 실시함. 영상을 처리하고 결과에 대한 평가를 수행하기 위한 시스템(Ocean Monitoring Workstation, OSM)을 개발하여 보급에 주력. -호주: 주로 캐나다의 위성 및 시스템의 적용을 하고 있음 영해 및 환경 감시의 역할을 수행. Coastwatch조직을 만들어 해상 감시활동을 하고 있음. -영국: 데이터 취득 후, 2.5시간 이내에 선박의 위치를 전송하는 인터페이스를 개발함. 일본의 경우, 다른 선진국에 비해서는 다소 늦게 시작되었다. 2003년 발간된 '재해 등에 대응한 인공위성이용기술에 관한 종합보고서'를 시작으로 정보수집위성 4기 및 지구관측위성을 이용한 해양 감시 활동이 시작되었다. 또한, 제 3기 과학기술기본계획(2006-2012)내에 해양 불법침입 탐지 기술 개발 항목이 반영되어 있다. 유럽의 해상보안서비스(MARISS)의 사용자 워크숍이 ESA ESRIN(이탈리아 프라스카티)에서 2008년 1월 22일 열렸다. 실질적인 내용은, '해상보안을 위한 우주 시스템'에 관한 것으로 인공위성 이용하는데 있어 설계안 및 데이터 이용 컨셉을 제시하는 것이었다. 여기서 중요한 것은 국가간의 협력이 절대적으로 필요하며, 기존의 시스템과의 통합에 있어 신뢰성을 어떻게 확보하는가에 있다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 보안과 환경모니터링의 기능이 분리되어 진행되고 있는 부분에 대한 정보 통합 방향도 제기되었다. 국내에서도 AIS와 SAR정보의 결합에 관한 검토는 이루어졌으며, 이를 바탕으로 EU와 같은 시스템의 구축(조직과 연구개발)을 위한 실질적인 검토가 필요하다.

It is very important to understand the intention of a target ship to prevent collisions in multiple-ship situations. However, considering the intentions of a large number of ships at the same time is a great burden for the officer who must establish a collision avoidance plan. With a distributed algorithm, a ship can exchange information with a large number of target ships and search for a safe course. In this paper, I have applied a Distributed Stochastic Search Algorithm (DSSA), a distributed algorithm, for ship collision avoidance. A ship chooses the course that offers the greatest cost reduction or keeps its current course according to probability and constraints. DSSA is divided into five types according to the probability and constraints mentioned. In this paper, the five types of DSSA are applied for ship collision avoidance, and the effects on ship collision avoidance are analyzed. In addition, I have investigated which DSSA type is most suitable for collision avoidance. The experimental results show that the DSSA-A and B schemes offered effective ship collision avoidance. This algorithm is expected to be applicable for ship collision avoidance in a distributed system.

The International Maritime Organization has developed the Energy Efficiency Design Index, an index related to carbon dioxide emissions, to enforce regulations on newly built ships. In this study, a new type of energy-saving device called the ring stator was used for 158k crude oil carriers, whose hull form was developed as a very thin after-body hull to reduce the resistance by delaying separation. The Energy-Saving Device (ESD) particularly involving the duct, is not adapted to the thin-after body hull form-like container ship. This new ring stator was developed considering these characteristics. A parametric study was conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using the Star-CCM+ program, and approximately 3.4 % improvement in propulsion efficiency was achieved. Further optimization investigations and experimental studies should be conducted in the future.

Recently, one of the major issues of shipbuilding and marine is the reduction of air and marine pollution emission to ships. In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has concluded an international convention (MARPOL) to prevent pollution from ships. A Annex Six of The Convention restricts and regulates air and marine pollution of ship from exhausting gases. To this end, it is required to apply EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Indicators) to the construction of new ships, and to minimize the emission of environmental pollutants by recommending the application of EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operation Indicators) to operational ships. Therefore, in this study, we propose to calculate the grade of operating efficiency (EG) of ships based on actual operational data for transport ships and to provide energy-efficient optimal path search information through analysis of marine environment data.

The maritime traffic analysis has been conducted in various ways to solve problems arising from the complex marine environment. However, recent trends in the maritime industry, such as the development of the maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS), suggest that maritime traf ic analysis needs change. Accordingly, based on the studies conducted over the past decade for improvements, automatic identification system (AIS) data is mainly used for maritime traffic analysis. Moreover, the use of geographic information that directly af ects ship operation is relatively insufficient. Therefore, this study presented a method of using a combination of shape format data and AIS data to enhance maritime traffic analysis in preparation for the commercialization of autonomous ships. Consequently, extractable marine traffic characteristics were presented when shape format data were used for marine traffic analysis. This is expected to be used for marine traffic analysis for the introduction of autonomous ships in the future.
