The final goal of this research is to establish the relative dangerousness D/B for factors on seakeeping performance. This D/B is essential to develope the seakeeping performance evaluation system built-on-ship. The system is composed of the apparatus for measuring a vertical acceleration to be generated by the ship's motions, computer for calculating the synthetic seakeeping performance index and monitor for displaying the evaluating diagram of navigational safety of ship. In this paper, a methodology on the establishment of the relative dangerousness D/B for factors on seakeeping performance is presented by a numerical simulations, playing an important role on the algorithm of the program for calculating the synthetic seakeeping performance index. Finally, It is investigated whether the relative dangerousness D/B can be realized an accurate values according to the loading conditions, weather conditions, wave directions end present ship's speed of a model ship.

Since LNG has explosive properties and difficulty to handle, it was avoided using LNG as fuel. However, recently LNG has been considered as alternative fuel of HFO. Several LNG fuel supply system has developed. Furthermore, STX ONS is developing LNG fuel bunkering system and bunkering shuttle. Bunkering shuttle carries out refueling LNG fuel while LNG fuel ship is on cargo work. In case of emergency, bunkering shuttle breakaway from the ship but a little amount of LNG falls down on deck. It can disperse to cargo work area also can explode. In this case LNG dispersed on deck was not considerable.

In this study, the program to investigate the multiple body interaction effects between a floating platform and a shuttle tanker considering the coupled effect of hull (FPSO) with mooring lines and risers was developed. The coupled analysis program, which is called WINPOST-MULT using the hydrodynamic analysis results by WAMIT, was made. For the verification of WINPOST-MULT by means of numerical experiments, two multiple-body models of an FPSO-FPSO and an FPSO-shuttle tanker system are adopted. With the FPSO-FPSO model and a two-mass-spring system to idealize two identical bodies for the 100-year storm wave condition in GOM, the numerical simulations were performed to investigate the interaction effects between two identical bodies. For the more reality, the coupled analysis for the FPSO-shuttle tanker model in the tandem arrangement was carried out in the consideration of the environmental condition of the West Africa Sea as a rather mild condition. Through the case studies with interaction effect and without interaction effect by the iteration method and the combined method, it is verified that the program is a very useful tool for the analysis of the interaction problem of multiple-body system and the coupled problem of the hull/mooring/riser.

CPP is widely utilized in RoPax ship, shuttle tanker etc. due to excellent manoeuvrability in low speed, and its usage is recently increased. The CPP was almost designed by CPP maker, and its performance seemed to be not fully optimized. In this study the whole CPP design procedure was reviewed and design technology of CPP was settled down including calculation of spindle torque and MOI, which was fully confirmed by KHI CPP maker. In order to confirm the CPP design technique, a CPP for shuttle tanker was designed and its performance was verified through series of model tests. The propeller efficiency and face cavitation performance of the CPP was well improved. This CPP design technology will be contributed to the optimization of performance and cooperation with CPP maker.

According as the quantity of goods transported by ship is increasing about $7\%$ per year, a port environment is rapidly changing. To meet this situation successfully, the development of the next generation port loading and unloading system (LMTT) is studied. A Frame of shuttle car for LMTT(Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology) consist of three parts which are outer beam inner beam and cross boom. Outer boom supports a container and inner boom is a framework and cross boom reinforces outer and inner boom. In this study, we carried out the finite element analysis for the effect of cross boom on the strength and stiffness qf the frame according to the number if cross beam leading position of container, the distance ratio if inner boom from center.

This paper presents the primary conceptual design results of Smart Harbor. As the world trade becomes active, so container cargo volume is increasing constantly. Since the coming of very large container ships, It's necessary that a harbor handles many containers more than before. Therefore, we designed the new concept of SMART HARBOR which overcomes land site problem for port expansion and geographic constraints of very large container ships in harbor.

A New concept for the LNG-FPSO ship, with moonpool and bilge step in bottom, is proposed. This concept is investigated with regard to motion reduction and sloshing phenomena of the cargo and operation tanks. The principal dimensions of the ship are $L\timesb B\times D\times t(design)=270.0\times51.0\times32.32\times13.7(m)$, with a total cargo capacity of 161KT; a 98% loading condition is considered for this study. The moonpools and rectangular step at the bilge have been designed for the purpose of decreasing the motion within the tank. For the motion analysis, linearized three-dimensional diffraction theory, with the simplified boundary condition was used. The six-degree of freedom coupled motion responses were calculated for the LNG-FPSO ship. Viscous effects on the roll motion responses of a vessel were taken into account in this calculation program, using an empirical formula suggested by Himeno(1981). The case study for the moonpool size has been conducted using theoretical estimation and the experimental method. For the optimization of the moonpool size and effect of the bilge step, 9 cases of its size, both with and without bilge step, were involved in the study. no motion responses, especially roll motion, for the designed LNG-FPSO ships are much lower than those of other drill ships and shuttle tankers. The limit criterions are satisfied. To check the cargo tank and operation tank sizes, we performed a sloshing analysis in the irregular waves which focuses on the pressure distribution on the tank wall and the time history of pressure and free surface for No.2 and 5 tanks of LNG-FPSO with chamfers. Finally, optimum tank sire was estimated.

본 논문에서는 선체 하부에 moonpool과 bilge step을 장착한 새로운 개념으의 LNG-FPSO를 운동감소와 cargo, operation tank의 슬로싱 현상의 관점에서 기술하였다. LNG-FPSO의 주요제원은$L\times B\times D\times t(design)=270.0\times51.0\times32.32\times13.7(m)$ 이고 적용조건은 total corgo capacity of 161KT at 98% loading condition 이다. LNG-FPSO의 운동감소의 목적으로 2개의 moonpool과 선체하부 bilge 부분에 사각 step을 장착하였다. LNG-FPSO의 운동해석을 위해 단순화된 경계조건을 만족하는 선형화된 3차원 diffraction theory를 사용하였고 LNG-FPSO의 연성된 6-자유도 운동응답을 계산하였다. LNG-FPSO의 정확한 Roll 운동을 추정하기 위해 점성효과는 Himeno(1981)가 제안한 경험식을 사용하였다. Moonpool의 크기에 따른 운동감소의 경향을 파악하기 위해 이론적 계산과 실험적 방법으로 수행하였다. Moonpool 크기와 bilge step의 효과를 최적화하기 위해 총9가지의 case를 설정하였다. 이론 및 실험 결과로부터 본 LNG-FPSO는 moonpool과 bilge step의 장착으로 인한 감쇠력의 증가로 운동성능이 우수하다. 본 LNG-FPSO의 운동 응답중, 특별히 roll 운동이 다른 drillship, shuttle tanker등의 선박과 비교하여 상당히 작았고 이는 moonpool과 blige step의 장착으로 인한 효과로 판단된다. Cargo tank와 operation tank 크기를 검토 하기 위해 불규칙 해상중 sloshing 해석을 chamfer를 갖는 LNG-FPSO의 No.2, No.5 tank 벽면의 압력 분포와 자유표면의 time history에 초점을 맞추어 수행하였다. 최종적으로 tank 크기를 최적화 하였고 최적화된 tank는 선수사파와 횡파상태의 모든 filling에서 공진현상과 충격압력이 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다.
