Continuous measurement of nearshore waves around Korea over long period is very demanding to setup plans for prevention of disasters of port and coastal structures. In this respect, a new web-based system, termed as WINK, was established, which collects nearshore wave data from Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA), Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA), and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) and provide them after quality control of the data. This paper describes technical aspects regarding collection and selection of the wave observation data, construction of wave hindcasting data, the methodology of quality control for the selected wave data, and overall process of building the web-based data providing system.

Recently, wideband acoustic technology has been introduced and started to be used in fisheries acoustic surveys in various waters worldwide. Wideband acoustic data provides high vertical resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and continuous frequency characteristics over a wide frequency range for species identification. In this study, the main characteristics of wideband acoustic systems were elaborated, and a general methodology for wideband acoustic data analysis was presented using data collected in frequency modulation mode for the first time in Republic of Korea. In particular, this study described the data recording method using the mission planner of the wideband autonomous acoustic system, wideband acoustic data signal processing, calibration and the wideband frequency response graph. Since wideband acoustic systems are currently installed on many training and research vessels, it is expected that the results of this study can be used as basic knowledge for fisheries acoustic research using the state-of-the-art system.

A pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera-based monitoring system for efficient monitoring in the engine room of a vessel was designed. A number of places exist where traditional analog instruments are still used in vessel engine rooms, and blind spots closely related to safety exist, for which flooding or fire is a concern. A camera-based monitoring system that guarantees a wide range at a relatively fast cycle for these monitoring points can be an effective alternative to enhance the safety of a vessel. Therefore, a multiview monitoring system is proposed in which the functions of the existing PTZ camera are further strengthened using a software. The monitoring system comprises four modules: camera control, location registration, traversal control, and multiview image reconstruction. The effectiveness of the method was evaluated through a series of experiments in an engine room environment.

Regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships are gradually being strengthened. EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Index) has been introduced in existing ships, and various studies are aimed at achieving the greenhouse gas emission reduction target are currently underway. In this study, we proposed a method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through reducing fuel oil consumption by applying a solar power generation system to a pure and truck carrier among existing ships engaged in international voyages. The proposed photovoltaic power generation system consists of a photovoltaic module, an energy storage system, and a power conversion device. To confirm applicability, the system was modeled through a power electronics program, and a simulation was performed. In addition, economic analysis was conducted to check the feasibility of application to real ships, and it was confirmed that significant results were derived in the economical aspect after about 11 years had elapsed.

1973년 최초로 서비스를 시작한 GPS는 전 세계 60억명 이상이 사용 중이며 거의 모든 사업에 큰 영향을 미치고 있으며, 자동차, 농업, 해양, 일반 안전, 레저활동, 지형공간정보, 항공, 금융, 통신 등 산업 전반에 걸쳐 경제적 이익이 약 1조4천억 달러에 이르는 글로벌 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 최근에는 미국의 GPS 뿐만 아니라 유럽, 러시아, 중국 등 세계 주요국들은 자국의 독자 위성항법시스템을 구축하고 있으며, PNT 정밀성 향상을 위한 위성항법보강시스템의 개발 또한 주요국 중심으로 이루어지고 있다. 4차산업기술의 발달로 인해 다양한 산업의 상용화와 대중화에 따라 PNT 정보의 고정밀, 고신뢰에 대한 수요도 급증하고 있으며, 이에 대한 응용기술 분야에 대한 시장도 급속하게 성장하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 KASS와 같은 위성항법보강시스템 구축을 추진하고 있으며, 향후 독자 위성항법시스템인 KPS의 개발도 진행중에 있다. 그러나 고도 23,000km에서 송출하는 위성신호의 전파교란·기만에 대한 취약성과, 도심지와 같은 위성신호 수신이 열악한 환경에서는 고정밀·고신뢰 PNT 정보를 제공하기가 현실적으로 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 GPS의 취약성을 보완하기 위해 지상기반의 PNT 정보제공 시스템 구축의 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 전세계적으로 상호보완적 PNT 시스템의 구축·기술개발에 대한 연구가 다양하게 이루어지고 있다.

To ensure the safe operation of offshore plants, a system is needed for evaluating the equipment performance and for monitoring the results. Currently, owing to the operating environments of of shore plants situated far from the land, measurement data must be periodically stored in storage devices and carried on the land for evaluating the equipment performance. Consequently, it is difficult to prevent equipment failure because the performance evaluation cycle is long. Furthermore, until the next performance evaluation is conducted, it is difficult to determine the equipment's degree of performance degradation. Hence, it is necessary to install an onboard equipment performance monitoring system within the offshore plant. In this study, to evaluate and visualize the results of equipment performance within an offshore plant, a database was designed as the initial step towards the development of an equipment performance monitoring system. The tag data of major equipment were selected and analyzed. Furthermore, in order to store and manage the data measured in real time within the offshore plant, a database was developed for the onboard equipment performance monitoring system.

A marine environmental information system (MEIS) useful for optimal route planning of ships running in the ocean was developed. Utilizing the simulated marine environmental data produced by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts based on global environmental data observed by satellites, the real-time forecast and long-term statistics of marine environments around planned and probable ship routes are provided. The MEIS consists of a land-based data acquisition and analysis system(MEIS-Center) and a onboard information display system(MEIS-Ship) for graphic description of marine information and optimal route planning of ships. Also, it uses of satellite communication system for data transfer. The marine environmental components of winds, waves, air pressures and storms are provided, in which winds are described by speed and direction and waves are expressed in terms of height, direction and period for both of wind waves and swells. The real-time information is characterized by 0.5° resolution, 10 day forecast in 6 hour interval and daily update. The statistic information of monthly average and maximum value expected for a return period is featured by 1.5° resolution and based on 15 year database. The MEIS-Ship include an editing tool for route simulation and the forecasting and statistic information on planned routes can be displayed in graph or table. The MEIS enables for navigators to design an optimal navigational route that minimizes probable risk and operational cost.

In recent years, serious environmental problems occur in coastal area due to high pollution loads from human activity in land. Marine biomass utilization system therefore has been proposed to prompt material circulation between land and sea. Comprehensive assessment is necessary to determine that the proposed system is suitable and sustainable. This study introduces thermodynamic concept exergy, which expresses energy quality, to describe material and energy flowing in the material circulation system. This study presents material, energy and exergy flows in the material circulation system at Sakai city located in the middle of Osaka in Japan. It is found that exergy helps a better understanding of what is a key role is in exergy-efficient material circulation system.
