With the introduction of increasingly large-sized ships, the conditions of main domestic port facilities remain the same as in the past. So, there is high probability that marine traffic congestion can occur at the certain ship's routes. The standard ship's length used to assess the marine traffic congestion of domestic trade port is 70 meters. It has been in use for the last 30 years, so, its usefulness is highly recommended for review. This study deeply analyzes the tendency of ship's dimensional changes according to recent enlargement of ship's size by utilizing the particulars of 60,000 ships saved in domestic Port-MIS database and suggests the standard ship's length by figuring out the correlation between length of ship and gross tonnage. In addition, the basis of statistical data on the ship's tonnage in domestic trade over the last five years suggests the standard ship's length by deriving the reference point of cumulative incidences that occupy more than over 50 %, except for small vessels. It is necessary to consider the characteristic of each domestic trade port before the actual application of suggested standard ship's length.

Marine transportation facility is public goods for the general public and their safety. The study used the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), a method to estimate economic value of non-market goods, such as environmental goods. In order to analyze economic effects of marine accidents preventable by the VTS, the study estimated costs caused by marine accident cases. It conducted surveys with people and shipping companies in local areas where VTS is to be established in the future. According to a survey with people in areas where marine transportation control center is to be built (Tongyoung), the yearly benefit from building new VTS is estimated at KRW 11billion. If fees are paid in the form of income tax for five years from 2014, corresponding benefits during the same period will reach KRW 47.3 billion in current value. An analysis on economic validity of VTS establishment in Tongyong showed the B/C ration stood at 3.193, far higher than 1. The Net Present Value (NPV) was KRW 32.5 billion and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) turned out to be 37.4% which was higher than social discount rates of 53.5%. On balance, the establishment has reasonable economic validity.

The current sea route sign system based on an electronic marine chart only has a data manufacture specification for uses at ECDIS. Therefore, it has a limitation in expressing various sea route data and falls short of productivity as it is frozen to prevent being changed for a long time. Also, it cannot satisfy requirements from high tech such as lattice structure data and time series information. Currently, although it builds each independent operation system based S-57, it has been found that it is the most important requirement from consumers that the entire monitoring system can mutually interwork by standardizing and uniting formats of all protocols. In addition, current status information and alarm system is using AIS, TRS, WCDMA telecommunication and processing all the data after saving it into each different server. Lighthouse lantern which currently has used was utilized to do a performance test of a developed system. All of created data was trasmitted through the RS-232, It is clear that the data was received by a situation monitoring system. In addition, when the data was transmitted after saving in a database, same data was ordinarily received. In this thesis, we will implemented the status information and alarm system of Marine transportation facilities which is a sea route sign system based on S-63 electronic marine chart, S/W, after uniting each different protocol and making combined system.

A variety of decarbonized energy sources are being developed globally to realize carbon neutrality (Net Zero) by 2050 as a measure to address the global climate crisis. As the Korean government has also established a Renewable Energy 3020 policy and promoted energy development plans using solar or wind power, large-scale offshore development projects not present before in coastal waters, such as offshore wind farms, are being promoted. From ships' point of view, offshore facilities present obstacles to safe navigation, and with the installation of marine facilities, ship collisions or contact accidents between ships and marine facilities may occur in the narrowed water areas. In addition, there are concerns about environmental pollution and human casualties caused by marine accidents. Accordingly, we review overseas and domestic offshore wind farm development plans, analyze whether institutional devices are in place to ensure the safe passage of ships in wind farm areas, and study the safe operation of large-scale offshore wind farms and safe passage of ships along the Korean coast by comparing overseas legislative cases with domestic laws and presenting a proposal to illuminate the legal blind sectors.

북극해의 해빙 감소와 러시아 야말반도의 LNG 자원 개발 등으로 북극항로를 이용한 선박의 화물운송이 점차 증가하고 있다. 극지 해역 운항선박의 안전운항과 해양환경보호를 위하여 IMO Polar Code가 2017년 1월부터 강제 발효되었으며, SOLAS협약과 MARPOL73/78 협약에 추가되어 시행되고 있다. 이에 대응하기 위하여 해양수산부 해양안전 및 해양교통시설기술개발 사업으로 2014년 11월부터 2018년 12월까지 KRISO 주관으로 '북극항로를 운항하는 선박의 항해안전 지원시스템 개발' 과제를 수행하여 KRISO Arctic safe Routing System(KARS)을 개발하였다. 한편, Polar Code에서는 빙해구역을 운항하는 선박의 구조적인 안전성을 확보하기 위한 평가 기준으로 Polar Operational Limit Assessment Indexing System (POLARIS)을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연구배경, KARS 및 POLARIS에 대해서 간략히 설명을 하고, 두 가지 방법으로 북극해 최적항로를 각각 시뮬레이션하여 그 차이를 비교 검토하여 보인다. 결과적으로 KARS는 POLARIS를 기본적으로 고려함으로서 선박의 구조적인 안전성을 확보함과 동시에 연료소모량을 최소화 하는 경로를 탐색하므로 보다 최적화된 경로를 줄 수 있다. 향후 지속적인 수정보완 작업을 통해서 완성도를 높여갈 예정이며, 검증단계를 거쳐서 최적하고 안전한 항로와 운항 관련 정보를 선사와 해기사에게 제공하고, 북극항로 중 단기 운항계획 수립과 항해사의 안전 운항을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The explosion of a chemical tanker ship during cargo transshipment via double-banking at Ulsan Port, resulted in major damage including fires involving nearby ships. As a follow-up measure to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents, the 'Safety Management of Dangerous Goods in Port' was established, and the designation of a transshipment pier for dangerous goods is required given the risk of explosion and the impact on major facilities in the port. This study evaluated the Fire & Explosion Index of major transshipment cargoes in Ulsan Port to design a transshipment pier based on the Explosion Risk Assessment. Based on the results of Fire & Explosion Index evaluation of styrene monomer and benzene, severe explosion risk was confirmed, and the exposure radius was calculated. Based on the results of the exposure radius, the risk range for each major pier was calculated, and 12 terminals were proposed as transshipment pier candidates considering port facilities, surrounding dangerous facilities, and residential aspects. Since the results of the study suggest transshipment piers based on the risk radius alone, maritime traffic safety, pier and mooring facilities, safety facilities and accessibility for emergency response should be considered comprehensively to designate actual transshipment piers.

Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) increases the efficiency of maritime traffic in terms of reducing marine accidents and the efficient use of port facilities. This means that ports and waterways have their own capacities and can be safely adapted to their capacity through proper traffic management of the VTS. Proper traffic management can reduce the number of vessels and unnecessary waiting in ports, which can lead to economic benefits of ups and port terminals. On the other hand, Korean ports and waterways have restrictions on the maximum speed for safety, but there is no restriction on the minimum speed. However, ships that operate at low speeds in ports and waterways may be able to occupy long periods of operational routes, which may impede efficient port operation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose the minimum speed of ship for efficient port and waterway use. To this end, we reviewed the current laws and systems and proposed the appropriate minimum speed in the waterway using the theory of queue.
