The purpose of this study is to draw up a plan for improving working conditions of distant water fishing vessel crew in order to revitalize the declining distant water fishing industry. Land-based employment has increased as the result of industrialization, which in turn created shortage in marine crew supply for distant water fishing vessels. Pressure on increasing wages for sea farers is put on the industry for this reason, making the labour market in the distant water fishing industry tougher and tighter. Multiple issues have yet to be addressed for distant water fishing vessel crew. They suffer from excessive work compared to other industries. Crew management is another issue, as sea farers face poor labour conditions, working on board vessels in a collective way where no autonomous actions are allowed. Other issues include unqualified crew supply, increasing ratio of labour costs for crew to sales, and intensified implications of labour unions, which are as well making crew supply difficult as a whole. To this end, more well-qualified workers should take part in production operations in the distant water fishery. Both wage increase and working condition improvement should be achieved in order to strengthen motivation towards qualified sea farers. Sustainable crew supply can be achieved when working environments, gender-based working conditions, welfare are prioritized and improved as a whole.

2000년부터 예부선 등록 척수가 급증하고 있으며, 예부선 대부분이 10년 이상의 노후선박으로 사고의 위험성이 크다. 전체 해양사고 건수는 점차 줄어드는 추세이나, 예부선 관련 사고는 줄어들지 않고 있으며, 2010년 상반기 해양사고 분석보고서에 의하면 예부선 사고는 전년 동기대비 84.4% (32척->59척) 증가했고 이 중 충돌사고 다수인 것으로 나타났다. 예부선 사고의 근본 원인 중 예부선 종사자(선원)의 수급 어려움과 이로 인한 종사자의 고연령 저학력 경향이 뚜렷하다. 본 발표에서는 고령 예부선 운항자의 안전운항 교육을 위해 승선환경을 고려한 다양한 콘텐츠 개발 및 활용방안에 대해 제안하고자 한다.

It is difficult to expect the service improvements such as increased number of sailing and making new ship due to financial difficulty this is caused by deterioration of island dwellers. In addition, the safety of ship operation is also a problem with the supply of good sailors difficult problem of low wages and lack of safety working environment. T It is necessary to ensure the introduction of public operating system in coastal passenger shipping business to secure the public and safety. There are many practical constraints but if we obtain public sea ways, it will be possible to improve the operating system through the implementation from a subsidized line and taking off business licenses of an insolvent enterprise by enhancing safety control.

Recently, tugs and barges have become larger in size and increased in number. Also, most of tugs and barges are more than ten-years old. Total number of marine accident has been decreased, whereas that of accidental happening in tug-barge transportation has not been decreased. The statistics of marine accidents in 2010 shows that tug-barge accidents increased rapidly compared with those of 2009. The cause of accidental happening in tug-barge transportation is a quality of tug-barge operator the labour serious shortage of crew. This study is to give or suggest the various educational contents considering old age of crew and navigational environment for safe navigation in tug-barge transportation.

The route of Korea and China situates stable shipping market by the agreement on maritime transport between two countries. Epecially, the Car-ferry shipping market between Korea and China is growing up the world's largest markets in this situation. But, the rapid growth of markets have the possibility of imbalance between supply and demand. In addition that heavy competition can be arisen. The aim of this study is to analyze the ways to reinforce competitiveness of Car-ferry shipping companies(CFSCs) between Korea and China routes through suggesting importance weights of service factors. Firstly, evaluating service factors of CFSCs between Korea and China routes are selected by reviewing literatures and Delphi method. Secondly, importance weights of service factors are calculated using Fuzzy method. As a result, Shipper and CFSCs between Korea and China routes select 'agility of loading and unloading', 'agility of customs', and 'punctuality of transportation' as the most important factors. On the other hand, the two groups are shown the perception gaps on the factors such as 'reasonable shipping cost', 'voyage speed', 'multimodal transportation', and 'professionality of manpower'. The implication of this study is that Government of Korea and China Have to cooperate agreement for mutual drive towed trailer and customs to speedy transportation.
