Quantitative risk levels must be presented by analyzing the causes and consequences of accidents and predicting the occurrence patterns of the accidents. For the analysis of marine accidents related to vessel traffic, research on the traffic such as collision risk analysis and navigational path finding has been mainly conducted. The analysis of the occurrence pattern of marine accidents has been presented according to the traditional statistical analysis. This study intends to present a marine accident prediction model using the statistics on marine accidents related to vessel traffic. Statistical data from 1998 to 2021, which can be accumulated by month and hourly data among the Korean domestic marine accidents, were converted into structured time series data. The predictive model was built using a long short-term memory network, which is a representative artificial intelligence model. As a result of verifying the performance of the proposed model through the validation data, the RMSEs were noted to be 52.5471 and 126.5893 in the initial neural network model, and as a result of the updated model with observed datasets, the RMSEs were improved to 31.3680 and 36.3967, respectively. Based on the proposed model, the occurrence pattern of marine accidents could be predicted by learning the features of various marine accidents. In further research, a quantitative presentation of the risk of marine accidents and the development of region-based hazard maps are required.

Digital twin technology is used in various fields as a method of creating a virtual world to minimize the cost of solving problems in the real world, and is also actively used in the maritime field, such as large-scale systems such as ships and offshore plants. In this paper, we tried to build a digital twin of coastal waters using a ship-handling simulator. The digital twin of the coastal waters developed in this way can be used to safely manage Korea's coastal waters, where maritime traffic is complicated, by providing a actual maritime traffic data. It can be usefully used to develop and advance technologies related to maritime autonomous surface ships and intelligent maritime traffic information services in coastal waters. In addition, it can be used as a 3D-based monitoring equipment for areas where physical monitoring is difficult but real-time maritime traffic monitoring is necessary, and can provide functions to safely manage maritime traffic situations such as aerial views of ports/control areas, bridge views/blind sector views of ships in operation.

Marine traffic management could be defined as the implementation of managerial technical measures to improve vessel traffic safety. The managerial elements of vessel traffic management for ports and harbours or narrow channels include the total amount of traffic control, the vessel traffic separation scheme, speed restriction, traffic control by signals, the navigation information service and so forth. This research aims to quantify how much the traffic separation schemes(TSS) contribute to the alleviation effect of ship handling difficulty and to propose a design standard when the individual management measure is applied in an actual waterway. Traffic separation schemes have now been established in most of the major routes and congested waters of the world, and the number of collisions and groundings have often been dramatically reduced. In this part, the relationship between the alleviation of ship handling difficulty and the reduction of encounter figures among ships is quantitatively clarified by applying the ES model. As results of simulation analysis, it is recognized that a traffic separation system is most effective in the case of narrow width and heavy traffic volume. The centre buoy installation reduces about 1/4 of the alleviation of ship handling difficulty, TSS establishment 1/3, and design change to one-way traffic from two-way traffic reduces 1/2.

Recently, the computer vision has been applied to many automation fields. Especially, this paper presents a maritime traffic detection system using computer vision since the high level information can be obtained using obtained area information. The high level informations are obtained such as speed, queueing length, queueing time, ship size, and ship kind. To get ship speed, the two detection lines are set on the predetermined screen position. The speed is obtained the passing time and the predetermined distance between the first and second detection line on the screen. Also, queueing length and time are gotten using screen position of ship. Furthermore, the size and kind of ship are calculated using the ship database and camera calibration data. This developed system contributes to reduce the traffic accidents on the coast. Futhermore, the more information can be extracted using obtained area information.

While the vessel become bigger and high speed, navigational passages become narrow due to an enlargement of all sorts of new ports, sea-crossing bridges and anchorages, leading to the high probability of marine accidents. Furthermore, a constant increase in the maritime transportation and the traffic volume on the sea led to a variety of sea traffic environments and it is a trend for the demand for the sea transportation environment to increase steadily. At this point of time, the Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs introduced the Korea Maritime Safety Laws evaluating the degree that The Safety Audit System for maritime transport, which evaluates the degree that all kinds of port facilities installed temporarily or installed into navigational passages, and the installations and repair constructions of S.O.C. facilities affect ships' traffic safety, was introduced through Korea Maritime Safety Laws and went into effect from November 28th, 2009. This study was performed to introduce an outline including the concept and purpose of the Maritime Safety Audit(MSA) system for maritime transport and the technological guidelines for scientific and standardized enforcement, thereby analyzing the system.

The navigation area approach to Mokpo port consists of narrow channels with 30mile section, and the route is crossed with many fairways. Specially, except Mokpo-Gu fairway routeing is not assigned and there are many threatening factors against the safe operation of vessel because fishing and mining areas are designated Therefore, this paper proposed a plan for safe passage through a maritime transportation environmental assessment with the analysis of surrounding environment, danger element of navigation, traffic observation and marine accidents.

The navigation area approach to Mokpo port consists of narrow channels with 30mile section, and the route is crossed with many fairways. In particular, fairway routeing except Mokpogu is not assigned and there are many threatening factors against the safe operation of vessel because fishing and mining areas are designated. Therefore, this paper proposed elements for safe passage through a marine traffic environmental assessment with the analysis of surrounding environment, dangerous elements, traffic survey and marine casualty.

This study aims to examine whether Marine sand mining business is Maritime Traffic Safety Audit and priority between Maritime Traffic Safety Audit and Sea Area Utilization Impact Assessment because development and action to use in the ocean is ambiguous, it is overlapped with system of environmental aspect, and priority is not designated. Therefore, the way to improve to settle the overlapping problem etc. between Maritime traffic Safety Audit and Sea Area Utilization Impact Assessment was suggested and legal ground for sand mining is suggested. Because management department for Maritime Safety Act and Marine Environment Management Act is Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the solution for this is both embodying co-experts on each committee for determinant of system with maintaining contact and radical revise of law. If revised, the possibility of accident in ocean is decreased, and it can be a way to protect marine environment.

해상 교통 안전을 향상하고 선박 사고를 사전에 방지하기 위해서 선박 사고에 대한 위험도 평가가 선행되어야한다. 선박의 위험도에 대한 개념은 여러 가지로 정의되고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 데이터베이스를 기반으로 사고 발생 가능성과 피해를 예측하여 위험지수를 산출하는 위험도 평가 방법에 대해 고찰해보았다. 사고 발생에 따른 인명 손실과 오염 규모 등의 피해 결과에 따라 고위험 선박이 선별될 수 있으며, 선박의 위험도의 정량적 기준은 사고 발생 확률과 사고 결과의 심각성으로 결정된다. 대량의 데이터베이스를 통계적으로 분석하여 위험도를 도출하기 위해서는 데이터베이스의 확보 뿐 아니라 데이터베이스의 구조화가 기반이 되어야 한다. 또한 과거 자료에 입각한 데이터베이스만으로 위험도를 평가할 경우 미래 사고 발생을 예측하는데 한계가 있을 수 있으므로 데이터베이스의 보강 및 보정이 필요하다.
