The wave-cancelling effects of a large bulbous bow on the coastal passenger boat have been investigated in deep and shallow water. The following characteristics have been cleared through resistance tests with the model of the Korea standard type coastal passenger vessel(LWL=25.8m, B=5.5m, T=1.65m) equipped with large bulbous bows of various sizes. (1) Over the range of Froude Number 0.30, the wavemaking resistance coefficients decrease 30% or more. (2) The optimum location of bulb center is around 8% L from F.P. (3) On the 120 G.T. passenger coaster which has a speed corresponding to Froude Number 0.34, the most advantageous bulb is the one whose $a_0/L$ is about 0.28. When the speed is up, the bulb radius should be increased accordingly. (4) The large bulbous bows are effective in shallow water to a water depth of H/T=2.0. (5) Tendency to the increase in the resistance of the hull with large bulbous bow in the shallow water is generally smaller than that of the hull without bulb.

To meet increasing needs for environmentally sustainable management of coastal area, there has been compelling pressure to establish a cost-effective and long-term coastal water quality (CWQ) monitoring system. A remote CWQ monitoring system, STAMP, has been developed and is in operation along the route between Kyema harbor and Anma Island in the southwestern coastal area of Korea. STAMP uses a PCS phone as a telemetry unit to transmit acquired data for monitoring general water quality parameters, and a routinely operating coastal passenger ship or car ferry. STAMP has various merits of low-cost operations; long-term monitoring with secure instrumentation; and stable real-time telemetry of acquired data with-out the loss and noise. It is expected that the system will serve as a very useful tool in the CWQ managing programs of Korea taking the advantage of many coastal passenger ships in various routes including the ships departing from the coastal industrial cities. The acquired data compiled on suspended surface sediment concentrations (SSSC) will be also valuably helpful in understanding the sediment budget across the routes of the vessel.

To establish a vessel safety management system for improving the safety of vessel's traffic and preventing vessel's traffic accidents, the state of marine traffic in the Busan South Port was investigated and analyzed as preliminary survey of the countermeasures. As a result of the study, there are 1,158 vessels in a day, 48 vessels in an hour, and the maximum traffic is about 118 vessels between 16:00 and 17:00 hours everyday, which requires to establish and operate a traffic control system necessarily for ensuring vessel's traffic safety. Furthermore, passages of tanker, passenger ship, cargo vessel and government vessel showed to sail along main traffic lane to be obtained enough sea depth at the survey area. However, passages of fishing vessel and launch showed to sail freely at all survey area owing to outstanding maneuverability and a shallow draft. Some vessels of launch sailed along main traffic lane, but other vessels crossed to sail it. The passages to cross main traffic lane is higher the risk of collision. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed for the operation of the Busan South Port management system and the prevention of marine pollution.

In the coastal area, many kind of vessels are operating and exposed to the various marine accidents. In particular, small-size vessels, which are not equipped with the safety equipment, are in the defenceless state to the marine accidents such as the accident according to vessel's own state caused by the diverse reasons and the collision with the neighborhood vessels and objectives. So it is necessary to resolve these situations through the inexpensive equipment. This paper implements the function that can detect vessel's own motion using Smart Phone. if the motion is over the threshold value assigned, this function decides that the current situation is dangerous for this vessel. So this function informs Smart Phone's ower in the vessel and the control center of this situation. This function can be applied to small-size vessels, such as fishing boating, passenger ship, and leasure boat, which have few the safety equipments, and then improve vessel's safety navigation.

Universal AIS, which has been adopted officially for automatic identification systems among regulated ships by SOLAS, should be installed, for example, on all passenger ships over 300 tons engaged in international voyage and over 500 tons in domestic voyage, sequentially from 2002 to 2004. We must not overlook the fact than-ruled regions by regional authorities in the case of VTS. Actually a major portion of accidents have happened in small vessels like fishing vessels. However, they are not equipped with automatic identification tools, due to the high costs of the equipment for identifying purposes, as well as the absence of regulation In this paper, we researched the alternative of automatic identification for small vessel instead of universal AIS. We analyzed the requirement of automatic identification for small vessel about wireless communication method, traffic volume, etc. We proposed the identification system for small vessels in local areas and developed the Local Vessel Identification System (LVIS) interoperable with universal AIS using a PDA platform and wireless network.

This paper describes the development of Data Acquisition System (DAS) to obtain the vessel and weather information needing to evaluate collision risks levels between Mokpo harbor bridge and passing vessels. DAS consists of Signal Receiving and Processing Unit to obtain the data sets of passing vessels and weather status, Networking Unit to transmit and distribute the acquisition data sets and Data Management Unit. Through the field tests on the deck of shuttle car ferry between Mokpo Port Passenger Terminal and An-Jua island, Sinan-Gun, we found that the DAS can provide useful data sets for adequate the collision risk evaluation. In addition, the noise-like data sets appeared in the weather data can be suppressed fully using 5-th order Butterworth digital filter.

For passenger vessels, twin shaft types in propulsion system is generally adopted to provide a high-speed performance in low draught due to restricted operating condition in harbors or water channels. Struts of twin open shaft type support the shafts, bearings, and propellers. Therefore, strut design is needed to consider not only hydrodynamic performance but also structural and noise/vibration performance, In this paper, considerations in strut design at the initial design stage have been discussed based on existing references, numerical calculations, and their comparisons. Also, the strut design of a RoPax ferry has been carried out at the initial design stage, for an example.

Noise reduction and control is an important problem in the performance of underwater acoustic system and on the habitability of the passenger ship for crew and passenger. Furthermore, sound generated by a propeller is critical in underwater detection and is often related to the survivability of the vessel especially for military purpose. Generally propeller noise is often the dominant noise source of marine vehicle. The flow field is analyzed with potential-based panel method, and then the time dependent pressure and sheet cavity volume data are used as the input for Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings formulation to predict the far-field acoustics. Through this study, the dominant noise source of underwater propeller is analyzed, which will provide a basis for proper noise control strategies.

There is at present a growing interest in the use of SWATH(Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull )ship for a variety of purposes due to their good seakeeping characteristics, small speed reduction in wave, and large deck area. Highly sophisticated design technology is requested to develop the SWATH ship. This paper describes the design technology for high speed coastal passenger SWATH ship which includes feasibility study, general arrangement and hull form design, resistance and propulsion test, motion test in regular waves, control fin design, and structural design.

In spite of the methodology of evacuation process on vessels should be different comparing to the architecture on land, some have simulated the evacuations onboard ship with simulation tools which is developed only for the architecture. On this study, a vessel-oriented simulation tool is used to analyze the possibility of evacuation for a passenger ship. ${\cdots}$(중략)${\cdots}$ As a result of the simulation analysis, it is clear that the initial responding time and start-to-move time are so important, ${\cdots}$(중략)${\cdots}$.
