The fouling around the surface of hull and propeller caused by marine organism and sea water occur in the vessel which is taken up mooring in a quay for a quite long time. Moreover, those are able to give rise to the loss of speed performance. The purpose of underwater cleaning is to improve the performance of vessel and customer satisfaction through management for fouling condition of propeller and hull. Therefore, systematic approach in connection with underwater cleaning is required so as to obtain the stable speed performance. As a result, we evaluate the effect of propeller polishing to speed performance from the case of 115K COT and 4,250 TEU Container Ship. In addition, we issue the importance of underwater cleaning through comparison of speed results depending on conditions of hull surface painted by silicon.

Special purpose vessels such as drillship and ocean research vessels install the DPS(Dynamic Positioning System) to maintain the position and heading for long-time operation. This paper deals with the design parameters for the control theory and filter algorithms of DP system. for the environmental loadings wind forces, current forces and wave forces were considered. In order to estimate the low frequency motions without first-order wave motion, the Kalman filter was used and it was assumed that the first-order wave forces correspond to system noises and first-order wave motions are measurement noises. In this simulation, the length of research vessel is 65 meters and it has four thrusters to maintain the position. The ability of keeping position and heading was confirmed. For the calculation of thruster input the LQR and LOI control theory were adopted and the effects of gain were investigated.

In this paper, further research is carried out to investigate the resistance encountered by an icebreaking vessel travelling through level ice and channel ice at low speed range. The present paper focuses on experimental and calculated ice resistances by some empirical formulas in both level ice and channel ice. In order to achieve the research, extra model tests have been done in an ice basin. Based on the measurements from model test, it is found that there exists a relationship between ice resistance, minimum ice load, maximum ice load and the standard deviation of ice load for head on operation in level ice. In addition, both level ice resistance and channel ice resistance are calculated and compared with model test results.

Delay time analysis is a pragmatic mathematical concept readily embraced by engineers which has been developed as a means to model maintenance decision problem. This paper considers an inspection period using delay time analysis for fishing vessel equipment. We assume that delay time distribution is Weibull and inspections are perfect. In this paper, we determine the optimal inspection period which minimize the expected downtime per unit time.

In vibration analysis of ships, the principle aim is to determine the natural frequencies and excitation frequencies, and use this information to avoid resonances and vibration damage. The simplest method is to prevent resonance conditions, which is effective as long as the natural frequencies and excitation frequencies can be regarded as independent from environmental conditions. For ships that use electric propulsion systems, the sources of vibration are reduced compared with those caused by a diesel engine or other combustion-based propulsion systems. However, the frequency spectrum of these vibrations may be different; therefore, to understand the characteristics of the electric propulsion, we also should investigate how the ship responds to these vibrations. We focused on a 1,000-ton deadweight (DWT) ocean-research vessel using an electric propulsion system and analyzed the response to vibration.

This paper proposes estimation model of uncertainty in vibration measurement of shipboard equipment and analyzes the result of uncertainty estimation. Vibration of shipboard equipments affects underwater radiated noise that is important performance related to stealth of the naval vessel. Acceptance testing for shipboard equipment is required to guarantee the stealth performance of naval vessel. In measuring, detailed uncertainty estimation is essential to improve measuring reliability. Acceptance testing result of structure-borne noise and vibration is used to analyze uncertainty in vibration measurement of shipboard equipment.

The diesel engine and reduction gear combination is one of the common propulsion system in a naval vessel. Since the diesel engine has torsional vibration caused by reciprocating motion of the mass and gas pressure force of the cylinder, high cycle torsional fatigue can be occurred. Therefore, ROK navy restricts the maximum stress of the propulsion shaft according to MIL G 17859D. In this paper, the root cause for the failure of the diesel engine and reduction gear connecting shaft occurred in typical naval vessel is investigated based on the measured bending and torsional moment according to MIL G 17859D procedure.

Underwater radiated noise is one of the important performances related to stealth of the naval vessel. However, the evaluation can't be performed frequently due to the cost. Therefore, the estimation method of the underwater radiated noise with average hull vibration is suggested in this paper assuming that the hull of the ship is infinite plate which consists of various unit plates. Through the experiment, the estimated noise is verified from the comparison to the measured data. In addition the difference of underwater radiated noise according to the operating equipments is estimated with measured vibration velocity.

This paper presents a mathematical method that represents efficiently high-speed coastal fishing vessel. That is, it represents the numerical hull by using irrational function and hull form characteristic curves, which define a hull form under design conditions. Then it suggests a process that hull form characteristic curves are represented with NURBS and hull form is varied.

Because the tonal sound of the underwater noise in a naval vessel can be identified from the sub-marine of the enemy, it should be reduced sufficiently. This kind of the noise usually comes from the structure-borne noise of the onboard machine and transfers to the sea through the hull of the ship. The vibration at the high frequency can be reduced sufficiently with damping material. In this paper, the damping coefficient of the steel plate with damping sheet is evaluated by experiment. Using these evaluated properties, the numerical analysis is performed in order to evaluate how much vibration of the generator can be reduced applying damping sheet on the encloser and base of it.
