The manoeuvring of vessels and hydrodynamic interaction between them and bank wall in restricted waterways have been treated as important factors in channel design and safe piloting in the water areas. This paper examines the interaction forces and moments acting on two vessels running closely in the proximity if bank wall. The object if this paper is to propose a guideline of safe velocity if vessels and distance between them for navigating safely in confined sea areas.

This paper focuses on the effects of hydrodynamic forces between overtaking and overtaken vessels moving under the influences of external forces, such as strong wind and current in shallow water, in which condition the ship handling may become very complex. The purpose of this paper is to develop a guideline for safe conducting distance between two ships according to the velocity and the significance of external disturbances.

In near future, more congested and dangerous marine traffic environment due to the rapid marine traffics increase and ship handling difficulty by enlargement of ship size is predicted. In this paper, an navigation supporting system proposal made to enhance the safe navigation by providing the collision avoidance informations to the navigator via marine traffic environment assessment. Proposed navigation supporting system displays results of marine traffic environment assessment, degree of the dangers and gives reason of danger which is enhance situational awareness of navigator. For this purpose, results of marine traffic environment assessment which is obtained via real time assessment sent to the designated server and through the connection with navigation supporting system navigator being enable to see all those informations on the computer screen Navigator would utilize those information to make a decision in the difficult waterways and thus safe navigation could be enhanced.

A key objective is to meet the requirements for safe marine transport and protection of the marine environment by providing a comprehensive mix of Aids to Navigation commensurate with the amount of traffic and the degree of risk. The development of e-Navigation is driven by the compelling need to equip the master of a vessel and those ashore responsible for the safety of shipping with modem, proven tools to improve the reliability of marine navigation and communications. Although position fixing using GNSS is widely used, radar and visual AtoNs continue to be needed to provide safe, secure and environmentally clean navigation. The paper considers the role, evolution and future provision of traditional aids to navigation in an e-Navigation environment from both a technical and mariner perspective.

It is necessary that Fail-Safe Seaway technology providing a continuous navigation solution though fault of navigation system is occurred in sea. This paper focus on signal processing of GPS receiver, one of receivers using the software radio technology to implement a integrated radio navigation system including satellite-based and ground-based navigation systems. It is difficult to implement the software GPS receivers using a commercial processor because of the heavy computational burden for processing the GPS signals in real time. This paper proposes an efficient multi-bit GPS signal processing scheme to reduce the computational burden for processing the GPS signals in the software GPS receiver. The proposed scheme uses a compression concept of the multi-bit replica signals and patterned look-up table method to generate the correlation value between the GPS signals and the replica signals.

Recently, maintenance of clean ocean is very important issue. One part of the issue strongly relates to the safe navigation of vessels. Most parts of safe navigation depend on the mariner's competencies. STCW was established to guarantee the sufficient mariner's competencies. However the code dose not indicate the each necessary competency clearly. Therefore, the understandings on STCW are not same among training institutes, and each training institute interprets them individually and executes them. As a result, it makes big differences among the institutes concerning training methods and contents and the assessment on mariner's competencies. The countries in EU have paid attention on this issue and the activities enhance the rational assessment of competencies through METNET. In order to execute the rational assessments, it is necessary to clarify the techniques being assessed. And it means the necessity to clarify the necessary techniques for safe navigation and to assess the competencies to achieve them, and then we can attain the objectives of STCW. In this paper, the necessary techniques for achievement of safe navigation are discussed and the methods of assessment of competencies are proposed. As we apply proposed assessment system, we can get the mariner's competency quantitatively and continuously through training period. Then we can know the trend of the competency that is the learning process. By clarifying the learning process of the techniques, we can decide the necessary training time to achieve the competencies. Furthermore, we can discuss the issues on conversion between training onboard and simulator used training by analysing the learning processes.

T.S. HANBADA will navigate to maintain the adequate distance between own ship and other ships safely for about 17 hours on the about 2 kts. On the above situation, M broadcasting station requires to maintain the distance from 100m to 500m between ships. This paper aims to calculate the minimum safe distance between ships, the distance is assessed by using ES Model which is a quantitative model for evaluating the difficulty of shiphandling. After marine traffic flow simulation, minimum safe distance for HANBADA on the 2kts is about 260m based ES value. On this paper, the result was compared about its distance to the actual navigating distance.

Recently, in the process of developing, verifying, and upgrading the e-Navigation service and autonomous navigation system, there is an increasing demand for inter-working with a ship-handling simulator that can simulate actual maritime traffic conditions. In this paper, to develop a ship-handling simulation system based on actual maritime traffic conditions, a simulation server was built, received information on the actual maritime traffic conditions from the e-Navigation linkage system, and changed to information for operating the ship-handling simulator. In order to provide simulation images to users, 3D shape modeling for trade ports, coastal ports in Korea and major type of ship were performed. The developed system will be used for the advancement of e-Navigation service, development and verification of autonomous navigation systems, by enabling simultaneous processing of more than 10,000 ships and allowing users to simulate actual maritime traffic conditions in the desired area.
