The purpose of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based real-time decision support system to support decision makers for efficient berth operation of Inchon Port. In these days, the efficient berth operation has been many studied. The berth operation rules differ from port to port and the problem is highly dependent on natural, geographical and operational environment of port. In Inchon Port, the ship's entrance into port and departure from port is extremely affected by the status of dock and berth because of capacity restriction. First, we analyzed the specific characteristics of Inchon Port such as dock based on the data of 1997. And then, we construct the database of experts knowledge for berth utilization. Finally, we build the real-time decision support system for the efficient berth operation of Inchon Port to make the better berth allocation in case of not only regular scheduling but also dynamic scheduling such as delay in berth operation and exchange of ship between berths. The DSS is developed with graphic user interface(GUI) concept to help the user determining user interactive updating of the port status. Then this DSS will be provide decision maker with an efficient and fast way to berth allocation, and reduce wastes of time, space, and manpower in Inchon Port operation.

The effect of helical intake port geometry on in-cylinder swirl flow characteristics was studied. Two helical intake ports were selected to change swirl ratio, mean flow coefficient with the variation of valve lifts, valve eccentricity ratios and axial distance. The measurements were made by using an impulse swirl meter. The port B modified to increase the swirl ratio( $R_{s}$) had the tendency of the increased non-dimensional rig swirl ( $N_{r}$) distribution in comparison with that of the port A. And the $N_{r}$ distribution was remarkably improved at low valve lifts. The modification of the geometry to increase the swirl ratio ( $R_{s}$) in helical intake port resulted in the decrease of the mean flow coefficient ( $C_{f(mean)}$) regardless of valve eccentricity ratio ( $N_{y}$). And also non-dimensional rig swirl ( $N_{r}$) in the high valve lift affected the calculation of swirl ratio considerably.onsiderably.

Unlike in the past, port space in modern society not only serves to meet port functions but also other functions such as housing, leisure, and sightseeing. As a result, more and more people are turning into a dense space. Port space, on the other hand, is also a space vulnerable to disasters which can be attributed to geographical and environmental characteristics. Despite the sensitivity if the issue, in Korea disaster prevention and urban planning have not been clearly established. Therefore, there is a need to provide safety and disaster preventive measures in urban planning considering the characteristics of harbor space.

Busan port has played a part as the main trade gateway in Korea for several decades. However, due to the rapid integration of China into the global economy and the grand changes in global trade structures, the trade gateway system in Korea and the status of Busan port have been transformed. Busan port's role as a trade gateway toward Japan and U.S. has increased during last two decades but, in cases of China, its importance has relatively decreased. Moreover, Busan port's competitiveness has been undermined in the most part of commodity trade. These phenomena reflect the high competition among trade ports which tend to increase the effectiveness of supply chains. Based on the geographical research tradition which has understood a port as a nexus between hinterland and foreland, this study focuses the changes in characteristics of trade freights and the status as a gateway of Busan port. This approach will contribute to the understandings of dynamics in the comtemporary international logistics.

The characteristics of the flow processes in the cylinder of the two-stroke cycle engines have become the subject of increasing and attention owing to the simplicity and the higher power per unit weight of the two-stroke cycle engine. Among the many factors which influence on the scavenging flow, the port angle is important factor. Hence, four different type models with one inlet-port and two side-ports are studied to show the effect of port angle on the laminar scavenging flow. When the inlet-port axial is relatively larger than the side-port axial angle, it is showed that the fresh charge penetrate into the burned gas and displace it first toward the cylinder head and then toward the exhaust port. When the inlet-port axial angle is much less than the side-port axial angle, the fresh charge through the inlet-port directly move toward the exhaust port. The result showed that the model A may suppress the generation of vortices in the vicinity of inlet and side prots which restrict the sufficient supply of fresh charge and obstruct the perfect displacement of all combustion products.

This paper analyzes the effects of port size on port tariff using the data for world major sixteen container ports. Some previous studies show that demand for port services have significant effects on port tariff, but we cannot find studies analyzing the correlation between the supply variables and the port tariff. In this paper, we used the five supply variables, which are the number of gantry crane, the number of berth, the quay length, the terminal area and the storage capacity for containers. The panel regression results are as follows. Port tariff generally decreases as port size increases, which shows that port tariff is explained by the economic theory. However, increase of port size, in some cases, does not reduce port tariffs, which may be due to monopolistic characteristics of port. This paper also shows that both demand and supply factors affect port tariff, but that demand factors have more consistent effect on port tariff than supply factors.

Field investigations have been carried out in two 60-day stages on the surf beat low frequency waves in Anzali port, one of the main commercial ports in Iran, located in southwest coast of the Caspian Sea. The characteristics of significant water waves were measured at three metering stations in the sea, one at the entrance of the port and three in the basin. The measured data were inspected to investigate the surf beat negative effects on the tranquility of the port. Using field measurements and complementary numerical modeling, the response of the basin to the infra-gravity long waves was inspected for a range of wave frequencies. It was concluded that the water surface fluctuations in the port is strongly related to the incident wave period. The long waves with periods of about 45s were recognized as the worst cases for water surfaceperturbation in the port. For wave periods higher than the mentioned range, the order of fluctuation was generally low.

Port, one of nation's key infrastructures, is a point of road and sea transports meeting. As a key base of inter-modal transportation systems, the port is of ever increasing importance for realizing nation's vision of making Korea as an economic and logistics hub in the Northeast Asia. At present, Korean ports handle 99.7% of gross trade volumes in Korea, which requires considerable attention on its safety issues. However, due to the critical characteristics of the port and insufficient attention paid to it, the port industry meets more disasters compared to other industries. Therefore, this paper tries to analyze the disasters happened at the port to have better understanding on its reasons, further to use as learned lessons to prevent from potential disasters that may arise at the port.
