본 연구에서는 LNG선의 화물하역 중 비상 상황시 펌프를 정지시키고 선박측의 긴급 차단 밸브 및 육상측의 정지 밸브를 폐쇄시킬 때, 관내 유체의 급격한 속도변화에 의하여 발생하는 비정상 유동 상태인 서지(Surge)현상의 원인을 고찰하고, 이 때 발생하는 상승압력과 유량의 변화를 계산하였다. 해석 결과에 의하면 서지현상에 의한 과도한 압력상승은 선박측의 긴급 차단 밸브 및 육상측의 정지 밸브의 종류와 이들의 폐쇄 시간, 그리고 배관 배치에 크게 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of sloshing loads on liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels. Conventional LNG carriers with membrane-type cargo systems have filling restrictions from 10% to 70% of tank height. The main reason for such restrictions is high sloshing loads around these filling depths. However, intermediate filling depths cannot be avoided for most LNG vessels except the LNG carrier. This study attempted to design a membrane-type LNG tank with a modified lower-chamfer shape that allows all filling operations. First, numerical sloshing analysis was carried out to find an efficient height of the lower-chamfer that can reduce sloshing pressure at partially filled conditions. The numerical sloshing analysis program SHI-SLOSH was used for numerical simulation; this program is based on SOLA-VOF. The effectiveness of the newly designed tanks was validated by 1:50-scale three-dimensional tank tests. A total of three different tanks were tested: a conventional tank and two modified tanks. As test conditions, various filling depths and wave periods were considered, and the same test conditions were applied to the three tanks. During the test, slosh-induced dynamic pressures were measured around the corners of the tank wall. The measured pressure data were post-processed and the pressures of the three different tanks were statistically compared in several ways. Experimental results show that the modified tanks were quite effective in reducing sloshing loads at low filling conditions. This study demonstrated the possibility of all filling operations for LNG cargo containment systems.

슬로싱 하중은 LNG 화물창의 내부 구조물에 강한 충격을 유발시킨다. 이는 슬로싱 하중에 의해 평면이나 구석 부위에 순간 압력을 증가시키기 때문에 멤브레인 타입의 화물창에서는 매우 위험하다. 멤브레인 타입의 화물창은 선체구조에 비해 매우 유연하므로, 유체-구조 상호작용은 슬로싱 하중을 받는 화물창의 구조해석에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 유한요소해석 기법을 이용하여 LNG 유체와 KC-1 단열시스템의 경계에 대시포트를 이용하여 유체-구조 상호작용을 고려한 해석 방법에 대해 다루었다. 결론적으로 표면 완충 효과를 적용하였을 경우, KC-1 단열시스템의 폴리우레탄폼에서 발생하는 최대응력이 약 1.5 배 낮아지는 효과가 있음을 알아내었다.

본 연구는 NO96 화물창의 BOG(boil off gas), BOR(boil off rate)을 감소시키기 위한 노력으로 단열재료 및 단열층을 변화시켜서 개발된 NO96-GW, NO96-L03의 방열구조에 대해서 BOG, BOR 값을 계산하고 단열성능을 비교 평가하였다. 두가지의 변형된 NO96 모델을 기존의 NO96 방열과 단열층 및 단열재료의 차이점을 비교하고, 각각의 열저항 및 BOG/BOR 값의 비교 결과를 제시하였다. 열저항 값은 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 계산되었으며, 준정적 열평형 상태를 가정하여 열유속과 온도분포를 통하여 단열성능을 비교하였다. 계산에 사용된 화물창의 모든 재료물성치는 온도 의존값으로서 반영하여 $-163^{\circ}C$에서의 극저온 상태에서 특성을 반영되었다. 각 화물창의 BOG, BOR 계산은 국부 열전달 해석을 통해 방열판에서 발생하는 열유속을 계산하고, 등가모델을 적용하여 계산하는 과정으로 수행되었으며, 그 결과를 각 화물창의 단열성능을 비교 평가하기 위해서 검토하였다.

This study is concerned with the thermal analysis during the cool-down period of 135,000 $m^3$ class GT-96 membrane type LNG carrier under IMO design condition. The cool-down is performed to cool the insulation wall and the natural gas in cargo tank for six hours to avoid the thermal shock at the start of loading of $-163^{\circ}C$ LNG. During the cool-down period, the spraying rate for the NG cooling decreases as the temperature of NG falls clown from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $-130^{\circ}C$ and the spraying rate for the insulation wall cooling increases as the temperature gradient of the insulation wall is large. It was confirmed that there existed the largest temperature decrease at the 1 st barrier and 1st insulation, which are among the insulation wall, especially in the top side of the insulation wall. By the 3-D numerical calculation about the cargo tank and the cofferdam during the cool-down period, the temperature variation in hulls and insulations is precisely predicted.

In the developement of LNG cargo, the current concern focuses on the slim design of insulation layer to increase the LNG carrying capacity. Not only thermal stability with BOR(Boil-Off Rate) but structual stability against the LNG weight and the sloshing phenomenon must be also considered. In this paper, we applied the stitched sandwitch composite called the 3X-Board which is stitched through the core thickness direction using glass fiber to the LNG cargo. We evaluated the thermal and structural characteristics of 3X-Board by changing the core thickness and the material, in order to explore a validity for the slim design through the finite element analysis.

In order to cope with improvement of labor cost and cargo volume, Korean ports, especially Busan port, are in need of many new facilities. Of course, current facilities should be fully used, and at the same time it needs to make every effort to maximize its productivity as well as cost saving. To this end, this study has decided to focus on automatic yard operation suitable to the domestic container terminal environments, making a survey of many advanced container terminals, trying to find out their common factors, and finally suggesting several alternatives based on the combination of these factors. Also, this study has suggested the present value of initial investment and operating cost by alternative, and at the same time presented the relationship between cargo handling volume and cost/revenue of the optimal alternative, so that it may be of help in decision making.

CTS(Custody Transfer System) Radar type level gauging sensor to be measured for cargo volume. The data of Trim & List sensor to be compensated for measuring data which is original data of the CTS sensor. The latest days, the Buyer would have posed a problem both the location and the accuracy of trim/list sensor specially neared final stage of the ship's delivery. So, we would like to report the introducing to the trim/list sensor and the confirmation of actual location for the trim/list sensor.

LNG cargo containment system (CCS) has the primary function of ensuring adequate thermal insulation with keeping natural gas below its boiling point. From the viewpoint of structural design, this LNG CCS can be treated as a laminated composite structure showing complex structural responses under the sloshing load which can be defined as a violent behavior of the liquid contents in cargo tanks due to external forced motions. As LNG CCS type, Mark III containment system from TGZ is considered in this paper and then its structural strength assessment is performed based on a simple higher-order shear deformation theory and maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu failure criteria developed for laminated composite plates. The assessment is performed to the initial failure of the Mark III CS plate by investigating failure locations and loads.

This paper concerns a bulk or semibulk cargo ship scheduling problem with a single loading port. This type of ship scheduling problem is frequently needed in real world for carrying minerals or agricultural produce from a major single production zone to many destinations scattered over a large area of the world. The first optimization model for this problem was introduced by Ronen (1986) as a nonlinear mixed integer program. The model developed in this paper is an improvement of his model in the sense that nonlinearities and numerous unnecessary integer variables have been eliminated. By this improvement we could expect real world instances of moderate sizes to be solved optimal solutions by commercial integer programming software. Similarity between the ship scheduling model and the capacitated facility location model is also discussed.
