Ship Handling Laboratory Introduction

The objectives of the ship handling and marine traffic system laboratory in KUMM are to develop techniques for integrating risk assessment and risk management in the field of maritime safety, and to enhance the safety of ship operation and vessel traffic system. In our laboratory, quantitative risk evaluating techniques which cover every phase of ship operation, from the mooring of a ship to the maneuvering in an ocean,　including the collision avoidance maneuvering in restricted and congested waterways, have been applied to the design of desirable waterways, the design of functional VTS, the safety improvement planning of ports and harbors and the investigation of the countermeasures to assure the navigation safety.
