REGISTER

Since the 1970s, port state authorities have undertaken port state control (PSC) activities under the guidance of a regional

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In recent years, various MOUs and other bodies such as the EU have initiated

special control measures based on PSC detention rates. These include special inspections and denial of port entry which

have the potential to result in expensive repairs and loss of business. Recognizing the importance of PSC, KR works with

ship owners, operators and managers as well as with various national governments to improve the PSC records of their

ships. Significant achievements have been realized.

As a result, KR-classed ships are recognized as a high quality fleet by every port throughout the world.

KR has been endeavoring to ensure the safe operation of its classed ships by setting “Zero PSC Detention” as one of its

primary objectives. To this end, KR has been undertaking stringent surveys and technical assessments for older ships and

withdrawing ‘sub-standard’ ships from its class registry. Also, we have implemented unprecedented ship safety scheme such

as banning of ships 20 years and older from classing with KR. Further, KR has expanded its pre-inspection service to prepare

ships for the PSC inspections in Europe and US from June 2002.

KR also has been keeping a close line of communication with flag States, informing latest trends and changes within IMO,

various MOUs and port States to shipowners, and holding variety of seminars and trainings as a preventive measures against

PSC detentions.

KR has been engaging extensive resources into research & development

to refine and elevate the level of technology necessary to safeguard life,

property and marine environment. The R & D Center of KR has been

undertaking the strategic research and developing Rules in co-operation

with external organizations to share the results from the joint research.

Performing strategic research to improve technical

competitiveness and provide technical services

KR is researching the analysis of ship motion,

calculation of stability and estimation of wave strength for the

safe design of ships and offshore structures and maritime safety.

With this research, the safety of ships can be improved and the

associated technology enhanced.

● Research on rules for the Classification of Steel Ships

● Development of the assessment guidelines for the structural

stability of ships

● Development of ISTAS (Integrated STructural Analysis System):

Assessment of yield strength, buckling strength, ultimate strength,

local strength

● Development of FANSYS (Fatigue ANalysis SYStem) :

Simplified Analysis method, Design Wave method, Spectral Analysis

method, Influence Coefficient method

● Research on fluids

● Structural Vibration

● Full-scale measurement

The SeaTrust series of software is KR’s unique solution to enhancing

maritime safety and environmental protection. Originating in the early

1990s, this software series has been continually updated to reflect state-

of-art technologies, advances in IT and customer requirements. All

software is fully verified and validated through model tests, full scale

measurements and feedback from various users to ensure accurate and

confident results and user friendly interfaces.

The SeaTrust software series covers rule scantling checks according to

KR Rules and CSR, structural safety assessments by direct methods, full

spectral fatigue analysis, shaft alignment analysis and ship’s life cycle

management. It is applicable to all vessel types including tankers, bulk

carriers, container ships, passenger ships, naval vessels and offshore

structures.

Thorough understanding and identification of applicable IMO requirements are essential for the safe operation of ships and

the marine pollution prevention. However, it is not always easy to obtain proper information. To resolve this problem and to

facilitate the applications of IMO requirements in the maritime industry, KR has developed a database of IMO instruments

called ‘KR-CON’. Available in USB format and via internet (http://www.krs.co.kr → Quick Links Click KR-CON), KR-CON is

a powerful tool for accessing international conventions, codes, resolutions and circulars of IMO. The latest version of KR-

CON (version 9.0) contains:

The service life of a ship diminishes over time as a result of incurred damages and

defect, even in cases where the ship is regularly repaired and maintained.

It is, therefore, essential for shipowners to assess the ship’s remaining service life to

make plans for future repairs newbuilding order. Shipowners also need to obtain technical

information on a ship’s condition during its service life. To that end, KR has developed a ship

condition assessment program called “KR-CAP” which can provide owners with detailed

information about a ship’s condition and its remaining service life. KR-CAP is an independent

and thorough verification of the condition of a ship, as which can provide shipowners with

quality technical services regardless of the ship’s classification.

● Conventions : SOLAS, MARPOL, ICLL, STCW, COLREG, TONNAGE, AFS, BMW...

● Codes : IBC, IGC, ISM, ISPS, FSS, FTP, HSC, LSA, STCW, NOx, BCH, GC, SPS, MODU, DSC

When a ship is damaged due to collision, grounding, fire and

explosion, etc., KR-ERS can calculate its stability, strength and any

oil outflows immediately. On the basis of this technical information, a

number of possible emergency procedures can be simulated and the

one which would be most effective can be advised.
