  • This paper aims to understand and analyze the mega-trends such as trends towards larger vessels due to an increasing trade volume, accordingly fewer port calls, strategic alliances and M&A Increasing degree of concentration through M&A activities in shipping industry results in a decreasing number of shipping finns with an increasing share in the world shipping capacity. But competition is strongly increasing on main trunk routes. Therefore, shipping concentration directly leads to further concentration of port traffic in fewer and larger ports with an increasing competition among neighboring ports.

  • Automatic Identification System (AIS) is recently introduced to the maritime navigation systems. It is aimed to increase safety of vessels at sea by exchanging information to coastal monitoring stations. This article presents a ship traffic monitoring system by using the AIS information communication system using MS Visual C++. Then, the mobile Internet AIS introduced here is considerably improving and extending AIS functionalities compared to VHF AIS. When each ship is connected to the Internet network through the developed AIS system with her own client ID, all of her AIS information is surely sent to a server at her own base station by processing the information via the Internet network.

  • 해상에서의 조난통신은 최초의 모오스부호에 의한 조난통신에서 무선전화에 의한 조난통신을 거쳐 현재는 디지털선택호출장치에 의한 조난통신방식으로 변화하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 대부분의 해안국 운용체제는 아직도 무선전화에 의한 조난통신 처리 방식에 주로 의존하고 있어 디지털선택 호출장치에 의한 조난통신 처리를 위한 개선이 시급하다. 여기에서는 우리나라 해역에서 발생하고 있는 조난신호의 통신방식별 송수신 현황 및 우리나라 해안국의 설치 현황을 분석하고 각 해안국의 통신권에 대한 시뮬레이션을 토대로 해안국의 조난통신을 위한 운용상의 문제점과 효율적인 조난통신을 위한 해안국의 연계 방안 및 디지털선택호출장치에 의한 효율적인 조난신호 처리 절차에 대하여 제안하였다.

  • Currently, maritime information service is provided by a variety of equipments such as satellites, radar and VHF devices with independent standards and protocols. However, the increase of vessel traffic and development of global marine industries need an infrastructure providing seamless information transfer for the safety, security and protection of the marine environment. Therefore, we propose features and requirements of future VHF data systems and equipments as a component of e-Navigation.

  • It is well known that the hydrodynamic interaction forces between ship and bank wall affect ship manoeuvring motions. In this paper, the calculation method based on the slender body theory for estimation of the hydrodynamic interaction forces between ship and bank wall is investigated. The numerical simulations on hydrodynamic interaction force acting on a ship in the proximity of bank wall are carried out by using this theoretical method. The theoretical method used in this paper will be useful for practical prediction of ship manoeuvrability at the initial stage of design, for discussion of marine traffic control system and for automatic control system of ship in confined waterways.

  • Carbonation in RC (reinforced concrete) structure is considered as one of the most critical deteriorations in urban cities. Although RC column has one mix condition, carbonation depth is measured spatially differently due to its various environmental and internal conditions such as sound, cracked, and joint concrete. In this paper, field investigation was performed for 27 RC columns subjected to carbonation for eighteen years. Through this investigation, carbonation distribution in sound, cracked, and joint concrete were derived with crack mappings. Considering each related area and calculated PDF (probability of durability failure) of sound, cracked, and joint concrete through Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), repairing timings for RC columns are derived based on several IPDF (intended probability of durability failure) of 1, 3, and 5%. The technique of equivalent probability including carbonation behaviors which are obtained from different conditions can provide the reasonable repairing strategy and the priority order for repairing in a given traffic service area.

  • AIS(Automatic Identification System) is a radionavigation equipment for exchanging safety related information between ships as well as ship and shore station, introduced by SOLAS convention and widely used especially in vessel traffic service. However, in an area of broad communication coverage of coast station, various problems may appear in receiving AIS data from ships. In this paper, AIS problems that may happen in broad communication coverage of coast station are analyzed using received data.

  • This paper is mainly concerned with the assessment of safe navigation between ships moving each other in restricted waterways. The manoeuvring simulation was conducted parametrically to propose an appropriate sage speed and distance, which is required to avoid sea accident under the different conditions, such as ship-velocity ratios, ship-length ratios, separation and stagger between ships. The manoeuvring characteristics based on this investigation will be very useful for keeping the safety of navigation from the practical point of ships design and traffic control in confined water.
