Accurate vessel traffic observation is indispensable to carry out vessel traffic management, design of vessel traffic route, planning of port construction, etc. In order to observe the vessel traffic accurately without many efforts such as the use of a ship or car equipped with special radar observation system and the preparation of observation staff, the authors have been developing completely automated remote radar/AIS network system covering the main traffic area in Tokyo Bay. The composite radar image observed at Yokosuka and Kawasaki radar stations with AIS information can be seen on web site of Internet. In addition to the development of radar/AIS observation system, the software to analyze observed vessel traffic flow has been developed. This software has various functions such as automatic tracking of ship's positions, automatic estimation of ship's size, automatic integration of radar image and AIS data, animation of ships' movements, extraction of dangerous ship encounters, etc. The configuration and functions of the developed remote radar/AIS network system are shown first in this paper. Then various functions of the software to analyze vessel traffic are introduced, and some analyzed results on the vessel traffic in Tokyo Bay are described demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed system.

The source and source/dipole distribution methods using 3-dimensional panel method have been widely used for ship motion analysis. When these methods are used, large errors in the predicted hydrodynamic coefficients are introduced around the irregular frequencies caused by the resonance of imaginary internal flow. Therefore, the irregular frequencies need to be removed for an accurate prediction of ship motion. This paper adopts 3-dimensional translating and oscillating Green function derived by Wu. The adaptive integration method, stretching transform and stationary phase method are used for the calculation of the calculation of Green function and the integral equation is derived by distributing the Green function n ship surface and inner free-surface. The condition of zero normal velocity, that is, wall condition on inner free-surface has been successfully used for the removal of irregular frequencies in oscillating problems. The calculations are carried out for series 60($C_B=0.7$) vessel and the results are compared with those of other theoretical analyses and experiment.

In recent, a general trend is observed towards more customized products and shorter product life cycles in manufacturing enterprises. In these enterprises, customers often wish to influence the product they order and to get a variant of product that meets their requirements. This is called as customer-oriented make-to-order manufacturing environment. This paper establishes a methodology of implementing information system for developing product data integration system (PDIS) which is suitable for customer-oriented make-to-order manufacturing enterprise, and also presents the case of implementing PDIS for a ship engine product in 'H' heavy industry using the established methodology. At present, the implemented PDIS is successfully operating. As a result, PDIS reduces delivery time and improves customer relationships. Moreover, the case shows that PDIS can be used as a tool for improving inter-department coordination within a company during product life cycle.

Container terminals at Gwangyang Port are operated by three container operators: A, B and C. Ultimately, there is consensus that a single operator should operate all terminals so that economies of scale can be achieved even in the operation of the container terminal. Integration between operators has a positive effect on both operators and shipping companies. From the operator's point of view, overlapping fixed costs between operators can be unified, reducing overall costs and utilizing spare facilities. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the shipping company, it is possible to ensure stable use of the port facilities and always allow berthing, reduce days on demurrage and ship waiting, and provide one-stop service for work. However, existing cases of operators' integration or relocation of terminals remained to estimate the expected effects of alternatives, emphasizing only the financial point of view. The port terminal is a large system, and it is important to consider that it is an aggregate of major logistics facilities and equipment. Moreover, if the estimation can be made by quantifying the expected effect, the justification of the terminals' relocation can be further emphasized. Therefore, it is very important to estimate the expected effect from the viewpoint of systemic operation. Moreover, the need for operators' integration can be further emphasized if it can be estimated through quantification of expected effects. Currently, three alternatives are considered as alternatives to the terminals' relocation, and in this study, the optimal plan was derived for the 3 alternatives by the linear planning model of the minimum shuttle transportation cost in the terminal. The optimal plan is alternative 2, which shows the most advantageous integration effect in terms of expected effects. Alternative 2 integrates the B terminal into the C terminal, and the A terminal operates independently as it is.

Ship design requirements described in the building specification should be reflected in the design process. This paper identifies the configuration of requirements mentioned in the building specification using Ontology Representation Language (OWL). Ontology-based semantic search system specifies the requirement items. Through this extraction, building specifications mentioned for each entry are configured to the tree. Tracking requirements for ship design and a set of procedures to instruct is also used for the V model of systems engineering. The semantic search engine of robot agent and ontology can search the requirements specification document and extract the design information. Thereafter, design requirements for the tracking model that proposes the relationship between the associated BOM(bill of material) and product structure.

Numerical methodology to solve ship springing problem, which is basically fluid-structure interaction problem, was explored in this study. Solution of this hydroelasticity problem was sought by coupling higher order B-spline Rankine panel method and finite element method in time domain, each of which is introduced for fluid and structure domain respectively. Even though varieties of different combinations in terms of numerical scheme are possible and have been tried by many researchers to solve the problem, no systematic study regarding the characteristics of each scheme has been done so far. Here, extensive case studies have been done on the numerical schemes especially focusing on the iteration method, FE analysis of beam-like structure, handling of forward speed problem and so on. Two different iteration scheme, Newton style one and fixed point iteration, were tried in this study and results were compared between the two. For the solution of the FE-based equation of motion, direct integration and modal superposition method were compared with each other from the viewpoint of its efficiency and accuracy. Finally, calculation of second derivative of basis potential, which is difficult to obtain with accuracy within grid-based method like BEM was discussed.

The purpose of this study is to measure the thermal conditions of the various cabins in a long cruise passenger ship which is an integration of the high level technological know-how. We did an experiment and found out the following problems. (1) The temperature from the damper is stable but the humidity varies lower. (2) Comparing A deck-located cabins to B deck-located cabins, A-deck located cabins' temperatures are higher because of the 24% more air supply. (3) More influences from outdoor climate makes the temperature of the outside cabin lower than the inside cabin. (4) In some cabins, there are vertical temperature differences of $4{\sim}6^{\circ}C$. (5) And $2{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ temperature differences are occurred at between 2-story bed. (6) Repeatability of measurement results are confirmed by 2 times measurements.

The radiation potential of a ship advancing in waves is studied using the 3D time-domain forward-speed free-surface Green function and the Green integral equation. Numerical solutions are obtained by making use of the 2nd order BEM(Boundary Element Method) which make it possible to take account of the line integral along the waterline in a rigorous manner. The 6 degree of freedom motion memory functions of a hemisphere and the Wigley seakeeping model obtained by direct integration of the time-domain 3D potentials over the wetted surface are presented for various Froude numbers.

RANS solver has been developed to solve the flows past a ship with a drift angle. The solver employs a finite volume method for the spatial discretization and Euler implicit method for the time integration. Turbulent flows are simulated by Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model. Developed solver is applied to analyze the hydrodynamic forces and flows of two tankers with a same forebody but different afterbodies. The computed flows and hydrodynamic forces are compared with the measured flows and captive model test data. The computed results show good agreements with experimental data and show clearly the effects of stern hull form on the hydrodynamic forces and the flows.

Using panel data on freight rates and ship prices in the dry freighter market from January 2015 to December 2019, this study investigates the characteristics of shipping industry fluctuations. The analysis aims at two aspects of academic contribution. First, this study analyzes the relationship between shipping indicators and ship price based on separate dry-bulk ships, while the previous research considered the overall shipping index and weighted average ship prices. Second, the VAR model for the causality test is extended to a heterogeneous mixed panel model capable of limiting coefficients. There is a peak estimated by removing the cross-correlation problem, which is mainly raised in panel data analysis, using bootstrap estimation and solving the problem of information loss due to differences in non-stationary data. An empirical investigation of the causal relationship between economic fluctuations and ship price shows that the effect on the ship price from the freight is significant at the 1% level. This implies that there is a one-way relationship with demand in the shipping industry rather than a bilateral relationship.
