  • VLCC에 의한 SK에너지 울산CLX와 인천CLX의 일원화된 효율적 원유 수급체계에 따른 물류비용의 절감, 이에 따른 국가 산업 경쟁력확보 및 항만경쟁력 강화를 위한 고도화 사업의 일환으로 고부가가치 선박인 VLCC가 인천항에 처녀입항하게 되었다. 이로 인한 해상교통관제센터(VTS)의 안전대책이 요구되어 비교적 통항량이 많고 항로길이가 긴 인천항의 VLCC운항 계획에 따른 해상교통 혼잡도 등, 다각적인 통항 안전성 및 VLCC 입출항에 따른 타 통항선과의 항행안전 관계등을 점검하여, 계속적인 VLCC 입항에 따른 항행 위험성을 파악하고, 앞으로의 인천항만 안전을 위한 통항안전관리대책을 모색하고자 한다.

  • The port of Incheon is very famous of strong current and many curved fairway with exist of many islands around the fairway. Therefore the max size of calling vessel is restricted in 50K DWT with 13.0m draft. However in the near future, half cargo loaded VLCC will call SK energy Dolphin berth for discharging of crude oil. In this connection, this study will evaluate the safety of passing for Dongsudo-fairway by using the shiphandling simulation data that was produced by familiarized training & education for Incheon port pilots about VLCC's maneuvering characters and the fairway of Incheon port.

  • 세계 조선소 중 최근에 single hull VLCC를 가장 많이 건조한 경험을 바탕으로 4척의 double side VLCC를 성공리에 인도하여 선주측으로부터 호평을 받고, 나아가 전 세계 최초로 double hull VLCC의 2척 동시 진수라는 성과를 거둘 수 있었던 것은, 각 type의 특성을 고려한 최적의 구\ulcorner/생산설비 및 작업환경 등을 고려한 개선사항을 설계에 적극 반영한 결과로 나타난 것이다. 최근에 신규 수주 상담이 진행되고 있는 double hull VLCC 선주들의 대부분은 당사에서 single hull VLCC를 건조한 경험이 있는 선주들로서, 그동안 고객 만족을 위한 운항, 보수, 점검, 통해, 안전 및 편의성 등 선박 성능향상 측면에서 노력한 결과로 볼 수 있으며, 여기에서 만족하지 않고 당사의 Motto인 VOF( Vessel do the First Class) 구현을 이루고자 최선을 다하고져 한다.

  • The total tug capacity needed for berthing/unberthing operations of a ship may vary depending on the ship's type, size, loading conditions, and environmental circumstances. Traditionally, total tug capacity is determined based on the local guidelines of port authorities or on the rule of thumb. However, the social demands for the enhancement of ship safety at harbor and the economical demands for the cost-effectiveness of tug usage makes it necessary for port authorities to develop more reasonable and detailed guidelines on tug usage which takes various conditions into account. In this paper, the method to estimate the optimum tug capacity of VLCC is suggested by considering various ship conditions such as its size, loading conditions, and environmental circumstances including wind, wave, tidal currents, and geographical characteristics of a terminal. This method is applied to the VLCC terminal located in Gwang-Yang harbor of Korea and the results are compared with the local guidelines of the harbor, which shows that there may be a room for the amendment of local guidelines on tug usage.

  • The objective of this paper is to make clear the difference of maneuvering characteristics of a VLCC in standstill from those of her in running. The authors made mathematic models to calculate maneuvering motions of a VLCC in standstill using various ahead engine with full rudder angle and calculated their motions in each case and compared the calculated values with those of the same vessel running in sea trial tests. The difference of motions between them is great. For example, a VLCC in standstill can achieve a great alteration of heading over 90 degrees within the distance of 0.2L advance while she advances 3.0L for 90 degrees turning in full running sea trial turning test. Therefore whenever a VLCC in standstill meets a vessel approaching in collision course situation in near distance, it is better and recommendable that she should use her ahead engine with full rudder to avoid collision. So "maneuvering trial tests in standstill conditions" should be added to the content of sea trial tests when a newly built VLCC commence to take sea trials, that has not been included until now.

  • This study analyzes the major factors affecting the freight rates of Very Large Crude-Oil Carriers (VLCC) using co-integration and vector error correction models (VECM). Particularly, we estimate the long-term equilibrium function that determines the VLCC freight rate by conducting difference conversion. In the VECM regression analysis, the error term converges toward long-term balance irrespective of whether the previous period's freight rate is bigger or smaller than the long-term equilibrium rate. Thus, even if the current rate is different from the long-term rate, it eventually converges to the long-term balance irrespective of a boom or recession. This study follows Ko and Ahn (2018), which analyzed the factors affecting the chemical carrier freight rate and was published in the Journal of Shipping and Logistics (Vol. 34, No. 2). It is expected that an academic comparison of the results of each study will be possible if further research is conducted on other vessel types, such as container ships and dry cargo vessels.

  • The flow characteristics around KRISO 300K VLCC double-body model have been experimentally investigated in a closed-type subsonic wind tunnel. The local mean velocity and turbulence statistics including turbulent intensity. Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy were measured using a x-type hot-wire probe. The measurements were carried out at several transverse stations of the stern and near wake regions. The surface flow was visualized using on oil-film technique to see the flow pattern qualitatively. The flow in the stern and near wake region revealed complicated three-dimensional flow characteristics. The VLCC model shows a hook-shaped wake structure behind the propeller boss in the main longitudinal vortex region. The thin boundary layer at midship was increased gradually in thickness over the stern and evolved into a full three-dimensional turbulent wake.

  • A ship owner has been disappointed with the wrinkle, phenomenon visually occurring at the side shell structure of VLCC(very large crude oil carrier). In order to solve this problem, we have firstly performed a variety of actual measurements. Furthermore, comparing the welding deformation level of DSME(Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd.) with that of SHI(Samsung Heavy Industries), the superiority of deformation control level of Korean shipyard has been substantiated.
