부산신항 정박지 재배치에 관한 연구

Abstract

Busan New Port is being under construction, and scheduled to be completed by 2015 in order to fulfill the goal of a hub port in Northeast Asia Region in the 21st century. 27 container berth with 9,650,000 TEU handling capacity will be constructed and several more berths for bunker & supply ships and other purpose vessels. Busan New Port has been designed as an alternative port to Busan Port. However, Busan New Port has not enough anchoring space compare to the scale of the port designed, and needs at least 3 more anchorage area for the safety and security.

Disaster of Hebei Spirit(Oil tanker accident) which took place at the west coast of Korea in 2007, proofed the importance of proper anchorage area once again.

This study attempts to propose an appropriate scale and arrangement for anchorage area of Busan New Port by using marine traffic survey and Ship Handling Simulation techniques. The national harbor master plan(revised) suggests that two(2) vessels of 80,000 GT class anchor at the right front of anchorage area and six(6) vessels of 30,000 GT class at the rest area.

According to the survey and simulation, insufficient sea room for maneuvering has been determined at the end of the study. Therefore this study suggests that the incoming container vessel more than 12,000 TEUs capacity should consider to anchor at Yang-Gi-Am (East coast of Geo-Je Island) area and a new anchorage area should be established off The Yeon-do Island for small-and-medium size vessels. And, proper local legislation regarding anchorage area should be prepared in order to reduce the risk of collision and near miss. However the legislation matters are not reviewed at this study and propose it on further studies.

Last but not least, it has been recommended that well organized VTS services could prevent the potential risks and accidents in the research area, and further studies for "The maritime and port policy" should be conducted for the sake of well improvement of Busan New Port.
