However domestic study on LCA was not carried out in various fields. This study was carried out to examine the application of LCA to ship and was focused on the ship operation inventory analysis especially in life cycle assessment. Two training ships of Mokpo maritime university were adopted as ship models. Actual voyage data of at last several years was used to analysis the ship's exhaust gas inventory. The analysis shows how many weight of gas being exhaused per 1 gross tonnage and per 1 trainee in the training ships.
