The quantitative increase in maritime transport for domestic and foreign trade is one of the main reasons for the increase in marine pollution accidents. Despite the implementation of relevant laws in each country to prevent and mitigate marine pollution accidents caused by ships, human negligence (carelessness, intention, etc.) by ship workers has been reported as the biggest cause of marine pollution accidents. One of the most effective ways to reduce marine pollution accidents caused by ships is to reduce human negligence through systematic education and training of ship workers. Therefore, this study aimed to review the appropriateness of the statutory education and training curriculum for ship marine pollution prevention managers in accordance with domestic laws and regulations such as the 「Marine Environment Management Act」 and suggest improvement measures. To this end, we compared and analyzed the legal training·general education courses related to the prevention of marine pollution and marine disasters in Japan, where the laws and systems are similar to Korea, and investigated the cases of legal training for experts in land pollution prevention in Korea.

Ship is being operated under a highly dynamic environments and many factors are related with ship's collision and those factors are interacting. So, an analysis on the ship's collision causes is very important to prepare countermeasures which will ensure the safe navigation. And the analysis confirmed that ship's collision is occurred most frequently and the cause is closely related with human factor. The main purpose of this study is to build a model of human factors in ship's collision cause using SD(System Dynamics} approach and to measure a effect which is risk control countermeasures of ship's collision. To achieve this aim, the structure analysis on the causes of ship's collision using FSM are performed, and the structure was changed by quantitative, qualitative factors and their feedback loops in casual map. This model was performed over 20 years(1993-2012) in a standard simulation model and 8 policy simulation models.

Maritime traffic safety audits (MTSA) were enacted in order to ensure marine traffic safety throughout changes or the construction of water facilities, port facilities, etc. After the introduction of MTSA, the scope of subject vessels was restricted to an LOA of more than 100 m or a maximum speed of more than 60 knots as of 2014. In this study, the scope of subject vessels was re-examined in comparison with specific marine traffic safety areas and tanker prohibited areas identified in the maritime safety act. Furthermore, the state of subject vessels and exception cases for MTSA were also analyzed. As a result of these analyses, MTSA were deemed necessary for dangerous goods carriers of more than 1,000 G/T in specific marine traffic safety areas and dangerous goods carriers of more than 794 G/T in tanker prohibited areas. Finally, the necessity of further review was suggested given the present scope of subject vessels.

A contract for shipbuilding is usually a complicated process and involves a statement of rights, and obligations and responsibilities to which each party agrees vis-a vis the other. Most countries are now well settled with regard to liability of a manufacturer in tort for physical injury and on the other hand, for pure economic loss to remote owners of chattels. Where there is a breach of either contractual warranty or an implied warranty, there may be admiralty jurisdiction, depending once again on the situs of the event and its relationship to traditional maritime activity. First of all, this thesis deals with the contents of contract under English Law. Secondly, this thesis analyse ' s the liability of shipbuilders in Products Liability under English, United States, German and korean Law comparisons. In conclusion, the author gives some suggestions as countermeasures to Products Liability for the shipbuilders in Korea.

The purpose of this article is to examine maritime accident and corporate criminal liability in comparison with cases and laws in UK and US. In Anglo-American law, a corporation can be convicted of and sentenced for a criminal offence. However, some theoretical difficulties lie in fixing a corporation with the appropriate mens rea. The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 in England is to solve those difficulties and punish a corporation like a natural person. Comparing to Anglo-American law, a corporation is difficult to be punished in Korean law because it is a well recognized theory that only natural person is capable of committing a crime. However, safety in society and workplace is earning great concern in Korea, and emphasis is put on responsibilities of corporations. This article discusses the need for legislation on corporate manslaughter act in Korea with regard to the sinking of the MV Sewol.

Maritime Autonomous Surface ships(MASS) are gradually gaining importance. Until fully autonomous ships are developed, they will likely be controlled by remote operators who are based in a Remote Operations Center. However, there is currently no internationally or domestically established licensing for them. This issue can potentially pose a risk to navigation safety due to operations being handled by unqualified remote operators. We conducted a literature review and proposed criteria for the adoption of a licensing system for remote operators. We have futher offered alternatives to integrate this license into the existing officer licensing system, and analyzed them using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Subsequently,, theprimary need to enact legislation for remote operators is observed. The most preferred approach is to include the occupation of a remote operator in the Ship Officer Act, Article 4: Occupational Categories and Class of Licenses. Therefore, it would be logical for the organizational structure of the Remote Operation Center to mirror the traditional Bridge Resource Management. This study will contribute to the efficient training of remote operators and the safe navigation of autonomous ships with a focus on human resource management.

2006년부터 시행 중인 「교통약자의 이동편의 증진법(교통약자법)」 제6조에 따라 교통약자의 이동편의증진을 위한 5년 단위 국가계획인 제4차 교통약자 이동편의 증진계획(2022~2026)이 수립 중에 있다. 2021년에 조사된 여객선의 기준적합 설치현황을 보면, '19~'20년 기준 여객선의 기준적합 설치율이 34.9%로 타 교통수단에 비해서 매우 낮은 설치율을 보이고 있다. 해양수산부에서는 2000년부터 연안여객선의 교통약자 이동편의시설 설치를 통한 장애인 노약자 등 교통약자의 이동편의 증진을 위해, 연안여객선 교통약자 이동편의시설 설치 지원 사업을 진행 중에 있으나, 여객선의 구조적 특성으로 인한 이동편의 개선의 한계로 인해 획기적 개선은 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 발표에서는 제4차 교통약자 이동편의 증진계획 수립을 위해 해양 교통수단의 특성, 이용 만족도 및 선박의 안전성 등을 고려한 여객선 교통약자 이동편의 증진 대책을 소개하고자 한다.

Since early times, captain have been sailing to select the optimum route considering the weather, ship loading status condition and operational scheduling empirically. However, it is rare to find digitalized onboard route support system whereas weather facsimile or wave and swell chart are utilized for the officer, based on captain's experience. In this paper, optimal route safety assessment system which is composed of voyage efficiency and safety component is introduced. Optimum route minimizea ETA(estimated time of arrival) and fuel consumption that shipping company and captain are requiring to evaluate for efficient voyage considering speed loss and power increase based on wave added resistance of ship. In the view point of safety, seakeeping prediction is performed based on 3 dimensional panel method. Finally, It is assistance measure for ship's optimum navigation route safety planning & assessment.
