부산신항만 항로배치에 관한 연구

Abstract

The Busan New Port is under construction as the hub port of Northeastern Asia, to deal with Logistics effectively and to enlarge the role of it by 2011. After the opening of Busan New Port in 2011, it is expected that the marine traffic volume around this area will increase significantly, and very large ships such as 12,000TEU class container ships will come into the port. Therefore, it is necessary to establish new routeing measures in this area considering these factors.

This study proposes a new approach for the routeing of Busan New Port to provide safety of vessels and a new roundabout in the vicinity of Gadeokdo. To make the proposals, the preceding studies in Korea and other countries are reviewed to confirm the problems for the existing route and a marine traffic survey is being conducted to research the flow of marine traffic. The method of experts' opinions and Delphi technique is used, taking into account the environmental and geographical features for the new route. Also, the validation for the suggested routeing was done by several guidelines on the ships' routeing and simulation studies.

The proposal of this study is as follows:

First, the extension of the end of West Breakwater and the southern end of Todo is determined as the West boundary of the fairway for the Busan New Port.

Second, the existing fairway was broadened and the precautionary area was established.

Third, the Inshore Traffic Zone in the southern Gadeokdo was established.

Fourth, the Roundabout at the southern sea area of Gadeokdo was established.

The new routes proposed by this study are expected to contribute to safety considering the increase of marine traffic and very large vessels in the port.
