A quartz crystal analyzer is utilized to monitor the corrosion process of an aluminum surface of a quartz crystal for marine sensor by sea water. A quartz crystal having 2000 $\AA$ of aluminum layer is installed in a specially designed cell and is in contact with sea water imitated electrolyte solution. While a constant potential is applied to the cell, the resonant frequency and resonant resistance are simultaneously measured using the quartz crystal analyzer. In addition, surface topographs are taken with an atomic force microscope(AFM) and the element analysis of the surface is conducted using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDX). The simultaneous measurement of resonant frequency and resonant resistance during the corrosion process explains the change of surface structure caused by the corrosion. The variation of resonant frequency addresses the amount surface metal dissolution. As a conclusion, it is found that a simple measurement using the quartz crystal analyzer can replace the complex monitoring employing large equipments in the investigation of a corrosion process of sensor surface.

Usually marine traffic survey has been conducted by some methods like an ocular observation using portable RADAR, a questionnaire, etc. But these should have expended a lot of manpower and expenses. In this paper, we have developed new observation module which could capture the RADAR image using PC camera simply, and allowed as to track targets on the PC monitor directly. And it has been programmed to make a database of RADAR image, target's track and information, and analyze the marine traffic tendency in various ways like vessel number crossed over gate line, vessel's velocity distribution in gate line, traffic density distribution, etc. We have confirmed that this module could observe and analyze the marine traffic efficiently and economically through several on-the-spot experiments.

We fabricated self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) onto quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) using viologen, which has been widely used as electron acceptor and electron transfer mediator. We determined the time dependence to resonant frequency shift during self-assembly process and observed the morphology of self-assembled mono layers by STM and investigated the electrochemical behavior of SAMs by cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical deposition of viologen was investigated using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance(EQCM). The redox reactions of viologen were highly reversible and the EQCM has been employed to monitor the electrochemically induced adsorption of SAMs during the redox reactions.

Maritime Big Data Linkage System is a system for linking maritime related internal and external data used in Korean e-Navigation. It is possible to create data acquisition, conversion, storage, analysis, management application service by technology of maritime data generated from inside and outside, and it can be configured and processed in units of components. It is also possible to monitor the flow of data defined by the workflow.. Through this study, it is expected that e-navigation service will be able to link data more efficiently and easily.

At present the identification of vessels is still depending on the OOW (Officer Of Wateh) in VTS (Vessel Traffic Service), which is completed by radar, and also by the combination of VHF radio and VHF direction finder. However, with the development of port transportation and economic, this conventional way of identification can't satisfy more and more request for the information that the VTS needs from the vessels. In such a case, the AIS(Automatic Identification System) precept which is based on STDMA (Self-organized Time Division Multiple Access) technique is put forward by IMO (International Maritime Organization). AIS can automatically provide the information, including own ship's identification, type, position, course, speed, and other information to the appropriately equipped coast station and other ships. At the same time it can also automatically monitor and track the nearby ships similarly fitted with AIS. On the basis of describing the whole comprising and the format of transmission information of AIS, this paper mainly studies the key communication techniques in AIS, such as STDMA protocol, net synchronization and GMSK(Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying)technique, and so on. At last this paper briefly introduces the recommendation decided by IMO on forcing the sea-going ships to fixed with AIS equipments, and it continuos with the unexploited potential of AIS if it applies in VTS.

본 연구는 항만에 설치된 방사선감시기의 검색기능 극대화를 위하여 방사선감시기의 검색환경을 분석하고 물류흐름 관점에서 운영환경 개선방안 도출을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구 목적 달성을 위해 원자력안전위원회에서 제시한 방사선 위험화물의 수입 물동량 분석을 수행하여 방사선감시기 설치 타당성을 확보하였다. 문헌조사와 현장 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 항만의 방사선감시기 설치환경 및 운영에 따른 물류 장애요인을 분석하였다. 또한, 항만 내 방사선감시기 설치가 가능한 위치를 3단계(본선하역작업, 야드 이송 및 적재 작업, 게이트 반출)로 구분하여 각 위치별 장 단점을 분석하고 최적의 감시기 설치 위치를 도출하였다. 연구결과, 감시기 설치 위치 단계별 비용, 물류흐름, 관리 운영적 측면을 고려하였을 때, 게이트 반출 단계가 방사선 감시기 설치를 위한 최적위치로 적합한 것으로 확인하였다. 방사선감시기의 운영최적화 방안으로는 첫째, 반출 게이트 내부의 2차 검색부지 확보를 통해 게이트 통과 전 방사선감시기를 통한 화물 검색이 이루어질 수 있도록 해야 한다. 둘째, 화물인도지시서(Delivery Order: D/O)를 활용한 신속한 화물정보 파악을 통해 물류흐름의 방해요인을 제거 할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, in order to improve port work preparation and berth scheduling efficiency in an artificial intelligence-based berthing monitoring system that can monitor the ship's berthing process, we develop a mooring line recognition model to check an exact berthing time. By improving the pre-designed AI model, it is possible to segment the mooring line from the input image, and to recognize when the mooring line arrives or falls on the berth, thereby providing the correct ship's berthing time. The proposed AI model confirmed by the results that mooring line recognition is possible with evaluation data about the actual berthing situation.

Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) area presents a complex traffic pattern due to ships entering or leaving the port to utilize port facilities, as well as ships passing through the coastal area. To ensure safe and efficient management of maritime traffic, VTS operators continuously monitor and control vessels in real time. However, during periods of high traffic congestion, the workload of VTS operators increases, which can result in delayed or inadequate VTS services. Therefore, it would be beneficial to predict traffic congestion and congested areas to enable more efficient traffic control. Currently, such prediction relies on the experience of VTS operators. In this paper, we defined vessel traffic congestion from the perspective of a VTS operator. We proposed a method to generate traffic networks using historical navigational data and predict traffic congestion and congested areas. Experiments were performed to compare prediction results with real maritime data (Daesan port VTS) and examine whether the proposed method could support VTS operators.
