A Study on the Improvement of SAR Capabilities in Korea - On the drifting characteristics of fishing vessel -

우리나라의 SAR 능력 향상에 관한 연구 - 어선의 표류 특성에 관하여 -

To improve SAR capabilities in Korea, marine casualties during 5 years(1995-1999) were analyzed and drifting experiment of G/T 50 ton class vessel was carried out off Pusan harbor. As a result, it was found that the occurrence of casualty by fishing boat ranked highest and a considerable numbers of casualties took place more than 20 miles off the shore, and leeway was computed by two drifting experiments as 0.045U - 010 $^{\circ}$, 0.037U＋ 021 $^{\circ}$ respectively.
