This study aims to investigate the crabbing motion of the research vessel "NARA" by full-scale maneuvering trials. The crabbing test method refers to ITTC recommended procedures and guidelines. In order to minimize the fluctuation of the heading angle due to the external force acting on the hull during the pure lateral motion, the tests are conducted using the dynamic positioning system applied to the ship. The test results are analyzed by applying a low-pass filter to remove the noise included in the measurement data. Three conditions are set to define the steady state of crabbing motion. The index to be derived from the crabbing test is quantitatively presented. The ship is confirmed to be capable of the lateral motion of up to 0.844m/s in Beaufort 3.

In these days, the rapid development in prediction technology using artificial intelligent is being applied in a variety of engineering fields. Especially, dimensionality reduction technologies such as autoencoder and convolutional neural network have enabled the classification and regression of high-dimensional data. In particular, pixel level prediction technology enables semantic segmentation (fine-grained classification), or physical value prediction for each pixel such as depth or surface normal estimation. In this study, the pressure distribution of the ship's surface was estimated at the pixel level based on the artificial neural network. First, a potential flow analysis was performed on the hull form data generated by transforming the baseline hull form data to construct 429 datasets for learning. Thereafter, a neural network with a U-shape structure was configured to learn the pressure value at the node position of the pretreated hull form. As a result, for the hull form included in training set, it was confirmed that the neural network can make a good prediction for pressure distribution. But in case of container ship, which is not included and have different characteristics, the network couldn't give a reasonable result.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a neurofuzzy modeling & inference system which can determine principle dimensions and hull factors in an initial ship design. Neurofuzzy modeling & inference for a hull form design (NeFHull) applies the given input-output data to the fuzzy theory. NeFHull also deals the fuzzificated values with neural networks. NeFHull redefines normalized input-output data as membership functions and executes the fuzzficated information with backporpagation-neural -networks. A hybrid learning algorithms utilized in the training of neural networks and examining the usefulness of suggested method through mathematical and mechanical examples.

Maintaining a proper lookout activity routine is integral to preventing ship collision accidents caused by human errors. Various subjective measures such as interviewing, self-report diaries, and questionnaires have been widely used to monitor the lookout activity patterns of navigators. An objective measurement of a lookout activity pattern classification system is required to improve lookout performance evaluation in a real navigation setting. The purpose of this study was to develop an objective navigator lookout activity classification system using wearable accelerometers. In the training session, 90.4% accuracy was achieved in classifying five fundamental lookout activities. The developed model was then applied to predict real-lookout activity in the second session during an actual ship voyage. 86.9% agreement was attained between the directly observed activity and predicted activity. Based on these promising results, the proposed unobstructed wearable system is expected to objectively evaluate navigator lookout patterns to provide a better understanding of lookout performance.

The advent of the era of data age and advances inartificial intelligence technology has led to innovations in various business areas. In particular, many attempts have been made to improve the stability of the marine accident, which has not previously been applied by a data-drive approach. Most of the marine accidents happen at a time when the vessel isapproaching a port and preparing for berthing. Although the cause of the accident has many factors, it is often caused by the difficulties of communication between the ship navigator and the control center. In particular, communication in English makes difficulties for navigators, not English astheir first language. To do this, proper English conversation education forsailors is very important. In order to support the issue, this study presents data and framework for the development of a chatbot for ship safety education.

Recently, IMO(International Maritime Organization) have provided the recommendation of EMI and EMS for radio communication and equipments of marine from SOLAS convention at July 1st 2002. In this paper, we measured EMC environment on the HANBADA, which is Korea Maritime University training ship, and the 88KUMEO of a fishing boat for basic EMC environment of a ship. Measured Band is from 30 MHz to 2 GHz, polarization measurement is processed both vertical and horizontal polarization. We analysed the results in consideration of permissible criteria.

The offshore plant industry has basically functioned with a rigid teamwork culture and many operations are managed by ship's crew, shifts and affiliates together. The marine sector of offshore plant has much similarity with ship's environment. So a person who had experienced on board will have advantages to work for offshore industry. But in spite of all that, only a few korean seafarers are able to join in the offshore industry due to lack of information about the offshore environment. This study analyze the employee's wage structure, nature of employment contract, requirements of job qualifications. Therefore, this study will assist for seafarers to set up how to get their work and also suggest to develop relevant offshore training courses by researching the gap competency matrix.

선박에 승선하는 모든 선원들은 STCW 협약에서 요구하는 바와 같이 STCW 코드 A-I/6조에 따라 해당 훈련 및 평가에 대해 관리, 감독 및 감시되어야 하며, 선원들은 STCW 협약 요구 교육을 이수한 후 이에 대한 증서를 발급받아 해당 선박에 승선하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 법정교육에 대한 교육 이수증서양식이 국제적으로 통일되어 있지 않아 항만국통제(PSC) 검사시 검사관들이 해당 교육 이수 및 교육내용에 대한 식별이 어려우며, 또한 이수증서 양식이 국가별로 제 각각이라 신뢰성이 검증되지 않은 증서도 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고, STCW 협약의 올바른 이행을 위해 STCW 협약에서 요구하고 있는 법정교육에 대한 이수증서 양식통일에 대하여 논한다.

자율운항선박(Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship)의 개발과 도입은 해양 분야의 4차 산업 시대를 이끄는 가장 중요한 기술과 변화이다. 자율운항선박은 해양 사고의 발생 원인 중 가장 높은 비중을 차지하는 인적 요소를 줄이기 위해 인간의 개입 없이 독립적으로 운항하는 선박을 일컫는다. 인간의 개입을 줄이기 위해서는 기존의 선박과 다른 개념과 기술을 개발하고 도입해야 한다. 수십 년 전 개발되어 해상 플랫폼 및 오프쇼어 분야에서 특정 용도로 사용되는 선박 시스템인 동적위치제어스템은 기존의 시스템에 더해 더욱 정교하고 섬세한 선박의 움직임이 가능하도록 다양한 기능을 제공한다. 최근의 영국에서 제출한 IMO 의제 문서에 의하면, 자율운항선박에는 전통적인 앵커와 같은 선박 설비에 더해 추가로 다른 기술이 적용될 수 있다고 밝히며, 동적위치제어시스템을 명시하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능 중 자율운항선박의 안전한 운항을 달성하기 위해 동적위치제어시스템에서 적용할 수 있는 요인을 알아보고 제시하고자 한다.
