An increase in the number of retiring experienced pilots as well as drastic graying of new pilots will raise the problems on deepening imbalance of supply and demand of pilots over the next 7 years, which could entail fatal problems for the safety of harbour pilotage. In this study, the improvement plan of legal system to ease imbalance between supply and demand of pilots and help secure more experienced pilots has been proposed. A current state survey and analysis, statistical analysis, questionnaire survey on foreign countries, in-depth consultation with experts, etc., were all carried out to support this research. The conclusions of this study are, firstly, to propose an amendment that the minimum requirement of 5 years of seagoing service as a master to sit for the pilot exam should be relaxed to 2 years(which must include at least 1 year of master's seagoing service within the most recent 5 years) but the minimum requirement of 1 year of pilotage service should be reinforced to 1 year and 6 months to obtain a higher class of pilot certificate. Secondly, it is proposed that an amendment offering an additional 1 point per year over the minimum period of 2 years of seagoing service as a master should be added, with a maximum of 10 points in order to rationalize the additional incentive point system. In order to secure experienced pilots and resolve the legal conflict between the certificate revalidation system and the retirement system, it is also proposed that an amendment be passed revoking the retirement system and limiting the validity of any new certificates only to 68 years of age when issuing or revalidating a certificate, if an applicant is over a certain age. Promotional work, such as collecting opinions from interested parties and generating positive public awareness, should be carried out in the future. It will also be necessary to conduct a study on the training pilot exam system.

과거 선박이 대양을 항해할때 선장 및 항해사는 자선의 위치파악을 위해 몇 단계의 과정을 거치곤 하였다. 즉, 위치를 측정하는 위치계측 장비로 부터 자선의 경위도를 안 후 이를 종이지도 위에 기록하는 것이었다. 그리하여 선박이 계획항로로부터 얼마나 이탈하였나를 측정하여 항로를 변경하거나 추후의 항로계획을 수정하곤 하였다. 특히 항내 통항이나, 접이안시에는 노련한 도선사에게 숙련도에 맡겨 놓을 수 밖에 없었던 것이다. (중략)
