This paper addresses a study of inner-tank sloshing effect on motion responses of a Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) system, through experimental analysis and numerical modeling. To investigate hydrodynamic characteristics of FLNG under the conditions of with and without LNG-tank sloshing, a series of numerical simulations were carried out using potential flow solver SESAM. To validate the numerical simulations, model tests on the FLNG system was conducted in both liquid and solid ballast conditions with 75% tank filling level in height. Good correlations were observed between the measured and predicted results, proving the feasibility of the numerical modeling technique. On the verified numerical model, Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) of the FLNG with 25% and 50% tank filling levels were calculated in six degrees of freedom. The influence of tank sloshing with varying tank filling levels on the RAOs has been presented and analyzed. The results showed that LNG-tank sloshing has a noticeable impact on the roll motion response of the FLNG and a moderate tank filling level is less helpful in reducing the roll motion response.

Safety operational envelope (SOE) is the area which guarantees the safety of a submarine from the accident such as jamming and flooding. The maximum safe depth is set to prevent the damage to the hull from increasing water pressure with depth. A minimum safety depth is set to prevent a submarine from the exposure above the free surface and collision against surface ship. The prediction method for the SOE in the design phase is needed to operate the submarine safely. In this paper, the modeling and calculation methods of the SOE are introduced. Main ballast tank blowing modeling and propeller force modeling are conducted to simulate the accidents and the recovery process. The SOEs are established based on the crash stop and emergency rising maneuver simulation. From the simulation results, it can be known that the emergency rising maneuver is more effective recovery action than the crash stop.

If the hydrogen industry is activated, the introduction of C-type and pressurized liquefied hydrogen (LH2) tank suitable for small and medium-sized transp- ortation and storage will be given priority in the future. Therefore in this paper, the behavior for the LH2 property changes and boil-off gas (BOG) treatment of the C-type cargo tank through voyage of the LH2 carrier and pressurized tank of the LH2 receiving terminal were analyzed through computational simulations by making assumptions about the carrier operation and unloading conditions.

선박의 항해 안전성을 유지하기 위하여 평형수 탱크에 주입 배출되는 선박평형수는 그 안에 포함되어 있는 각종 수중생물로 인하여 지역 해양 환경에 부정적인 영향을 주고 있다. 국제해사기구(IMO)는 선박평형수를 통한 수중생물의 이동을 막기 위해, 2004년 선박평형수와 침전물 통제 및 관리를 위한 국제협약을 채택하고 2016년 9월에 발효하여, 2017년 9월 이후 정기검사가 도래하는 모든 선박은 선박평형수 처리장치를 설치하도록 하였다. 선박평형수 처리 방식에는 활성물질을 이용하여 처리하는 전기분해식, 오존식, 약품식과 물리적인 처리방식인 필터, 자외선식 등으로 나누어 지며, 두 가지 방식을 혼용하여 사용하기도 한다. 일반적으로 비용과 효율 면에서 전기분해방식이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 직접식 전기분해 선박평형수 처리장치의 기본 원리, 구성 요소, 육상 시험 내용을 고찰하였다. 육상시험은 정부시험 시설이 설치되어 있는 KIOST 거제분원에서 $300m^3/h$ 처리 용량의 장치로 수행하였다. 이 육상시험을 통해 직접식 전기분해 선박평형수 처리장치가 IMO에서 제시하고 있는 기준을 만족하고 다른 방식에 비해 효율적인 것을 확인하였다.

A liquid storage rectangular tank structures are used in many fields of civil, mechanical and marine engineering. Especially, Ship structures have many tanks in contact with inner or outer fluid, like ballast, fuel and cargo tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these thin walled tanks in contact with fluid near engine propeller are strongly affected by added mass of containing fluid. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration of the tank structures. Many authors have studied vibration of cylindrical and rectangular tanks structures containing fluid. Few research on dynamic interaction among tank walls through fluid are reported in the vibration of rectangular tanks recently. In case of rectangular tanks, structural coupling between adjacent panels and effect of vibration modes of multiple panels on added mass have to be considered. In the present paper, coupling effect between panels of tank structure on added mass of containing fluid, the effect of structural constraint between panels on each vibration mode for fluid region have investigated numerically and experimentally.

In large vessels, proper water level must be maintained with a balance for right and left equilibrium by absorbing or draining sea water in ballast water tank. However, this ship's ballast-water can be drained marine organisms to local sea area by world trade and this can be a source of ecological disturb. In order to solve these problems, marine organisms must be removed in accordance with the international covenant for the emission of microorganisms. By this reason, the seawater electrolysis rectifier of low-voltage high-current rectifiers with excellent ability for microbial treatment is required. In this paper, PSFB converter will be discussed for the seawater electrolysis rectifier. Furthermore, a new output control method with the power limit operation under the limited maximum voltage condition is proposed for this rectifier. The simulation for the proposed current control method for PSFB Converter is shown using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Finally the usefulness of the proposed control method is presented by the experimental results.

선박의 안전성을 유지하기 위하여 사용하는 밸러스트는 그 용적에 의해 적재 능력이 감소되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 선박의 밸러스트에 고중량 콘크리트를 적용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 고중량 콘크리트 제조에는 자철광, 갈철광 등 밀도가 큰 골재를 사용하는 것이 일반적이나 이러한 골재는 수급이 어렵고 고가인 단점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고중량이며 수급이 용이한 폐분철을 이용하여 고중량 밸러스트 콘크리트의 품질특성 및 주의사항을 검토하여 현장적용 타당성을 검증하고자 하였다. 고중량 밸러스트 콘크리트는 현장 특성상 압축강도의 요구치는 없으나, 밸러스트 탱크의 밀실한 채움을 위해 고유동 및 2700kg/m$^3$이상의 단위용적질량이 요구된다. 예비 실험을 통해 설계된 현장배합의 온도균열지수는 균열을 제한할 수 있는 수준으로 나타났으며, 복합부식실험 결과 염화물에 대한 저항성 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 폐분철을 이용한 고중량 콘크리트를 밸러스트의 제조 및 시공이 가능한 것으로 나타났으며, 적재 능력이 증가함으로 선박운송에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Although there are various factors that threaten the security of ships, one of the most harmful is corrosion. It is not easy to find corroding areas and the status of corrosion, even though corrosion causes serious problems such as submergence and marine pollution as a result of leaking oil and polluted water. To monitor the corrosion of ships, non-destructive inspection, weight loss coupons, electrical resistance, linear polarization resistance, zero resistance ammeter, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have been developed. However, these methods require much time to detect corrosion, and most are not appropriate for real time monitoring. Coating, sacrificial anode, and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) methods have been developed to control corrosion. The ICCP and sacrificial anode methods are the most popular ways to prevent ship corrosion. However, ICCP is only appropriate for the outside of a ship and cannot be used for complex structures such as ballast tanks because these are composed of many separate chambers. Sacrificial anodes have to be replaced periodically. This paper proposes an integrated corrosion monitoring and control system (ICMCS) that can detect corrosion in real time and is appropriate for complex structures such as ballast tanks. Because the system uses titanium for an anode, exhausted anodes do not need to be replaced.

Cathodic protection technology has been widely used on ship's outer hull and inner side of ballast water tanks as a supplementary corrosion protection measure in combination with protective organic coatings. Impressed current cathodic protection system is typically opted for the ship's hull and, sacrificial anode system, for ballast water tanks. The anticipation and interest in cathodic protection system for ships has been surprisingly low-eyed to date in comparison with protective coatings. Computational analysis for the verification of cathodic protection design has been tried sometimes for offshore marine structures, however, in commercial shipbuilding section, decades old design practice is still applied, and no systematic or analytical verification work has been done for that. In this respect, over-rotection from un-erified initial design protocol has been also concerned by several experts. Especially, it was frequently reported in sacrificial anode system that even after full design life time, anode was remaining nearly intact. Another issue for impressed current system, for example, is that the anode shield area design for ship's outer hull should be compromised with actual application situation, because the state-of-the-art design equation is quite impractical from the applicator's stand. Besides that, in this study, some other critical design issues for sacrificial anode and impressed current cathodic protection system were discussed.
