[Research Committee News] Korea Towing Tank Conference

1. Spring worshp of Korea Towing Tank Conference The Korea Towing Tank Conference (KTTC) held the 2021 spring workshop online on April 16 with active participation amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the cumulative number of connected people, about 50 members attended this spring workshop. It kicked off with an opening speech by the chairman, Hyun-Ho Lee from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). There were nine research papers presented in the fields of resistance/propulsion, seakeeping/steering, and marine engineering. In particular, a meaningful event was provided for the members to exchange technologies and information among themselves not only through the introduction of the facilities of the large joint water tank of the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), which was completed last year, but also through the activity report of the 29th International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) Specialist Committee on Ship in Operation at Sea and ITTC Specialist Committee on Maneuvering in Waves. The KTTC 2021 fall workshop is scheduled for October this year (location will be announced later). 2. 2021 Steering Committee Meeting On March 11, the first steering committee meeting was held through a video conference where the 2020 business and financial statements were reported and the 2021 business plan was approved. In particular, a new chairman group was elected, including Hyun Ho Lee of HHI as Chairman, Young Beom Lee of DSME as Vice-Chairman, and Sun Ho Choi of Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) as the new audit to lead the KTTC for the next three years. Through the 2nd KTTC 2021 Steering Committee meeting held after the spring workshop, opinions were exchanged on how to encourage KTTC’s regular member institutions who have not yet registered with ITTC to sign up for a membership. Currently, KTTC has 17 member institutions, and 9 of them are registered with ITTC. To increase the number of regional representatives (EC members) of the ITTC for East Asia in the future from one to two, there was a consensus formed on the opinion that the number of members in the region should be increased. In the future, specifically for the member institutions that have not yet registered with the ITTC, we plan to confirm their intention to join first and then discuss how to encourage registration for the membership.
