Maritime safety and marine environmental protection are the most important topic in marine society. But, so many marine accidents have been occurred with the development of marine transportation industry. On the other side, ship is being operated under a highly dynamic environment and many factors are related with ship's collision Nowadays, the increasing tendency to the human errors of ship's collision is remarkable, and the investigation of the human errors has been heavily concentrated. This study analysed on the human errors of ship's collision related to the negligence of lookout and classified basic error type using GEMS(Generic Error Modeling System) dynamic model.

Since the OPRC-HNS Protocol entered into forced in the June of 2007, the potential effects on industrial circles are encouraged to be analyzed according to the obligatory regulations listed in the Protocols. This study was conducted on the quantitative analysis of the possible effect on the industrial circles if Korea accedes to OPRC-HNS Protocol. In spite of any burdens caused by keeping "accident emergency program memorandum" and performing "education and any training program for the crews", potential decrease of insurance fee is in possibility provided it follows. In addition, the oil refinery and petrochemical industries may also have burdens for potential costs for acquiring any materials including equipments and fees for education and training related to HNS. However, minimizing any costs by swift response against accidents would be big advantage that comes with paying of small amounts of expense by international convention related to HNS.

In this study, the Hazard-based model to decide regional oil recovery capacity by using AHP is suggested and regional oil recovery capacity is calculated by applying the model. The simulation for oil recovery capacity by mobilization of regional oil recovery equipments is carried out to verify the availability of the model. The worst oil spill accident in Daesan Taean Pyeongtaek region, which is located in geographically disadvantageous position among the regions that the worst oil spill accident may occur, is supposed for the simulation. As a result of simulation, the quantity of oil that can be recovered for three days on the scene of oil spill accident is worked out as $15,841k{\ell}$, which can satisfy the goal of national oil recovery capacity for the worst oil spill accident, therefore the model is verified as practicable.

Since nuclear power plant accident has occurred in Fukushima, marine pollution problem has been a hot issue due to discharging of contaminated water This paper deals in the marine environment monitoring sensor system. In this paper, we study on sensor and communication system to observe the various source of maritime pollution in realtime and transmit the measured date to observation center.

Since crude oil contains various pollutants including heavy metals, the environmental impact should be assessed for heavy metals as well as oil itself. In order to estimate the extent of heavy metal contamination, surface sediments were collected at the intertidal and coastal zone around the Herbei sprit oil spill area during December 2007 and January 2008. Organic carbon, sulfur and heavy metals were determined to assess heavy metal contamination in sediments. The crude oils contained C, S, V and Ni, but little toxic metals such as As, Cd, etc. From organic carbon content, the highest contaminated site was estimated that oils contributed to sediments up to 10%, and this site showed high V concentration. Potentially contaminated sediments by crude oil could be differentiated from unaffected sediments through V/Al and Ni/Al ratios, which can be used as indicators of oil contamination even after the oils were fully degraded.

The Fukushima nuclear power plant (NPP) accident caused by the East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the recent increase in the frequency of earthquakes in Korea have caused safety concerns regarding radionuclide exposure. In addition, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) in Japan recently decided to release radionuclide-contaminated water from Fukushima's NPP into the Pacific Ocean, raising public concerns that the possibility of radionuclide contamination through both domestic- and foreign fishery products is increasing. Although many studies have been conducted on the input of artificial radionuclides into the Pacific after the Fukushima NPP accident, studies on the distribution and accumulation of artificial radionuclides in marine products from East Asia are lacking. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to explore recent research on the distribution of artificial radionuclides (e.g., ¹³⁷Cs, ^239+240Pu, ⁹⁰Sr, and etc.) in marine products from Korean seas after the Fukushima NPP accident. In addition, we also discuss future research directions as it is necessary to prepare for likely radiation accidents in the future around Korea associated with the new nuclear facilities planned by 2030 in China and owing to the discharge of radionuclide-contaminated water from the Fukushima NPP.

전 세계적으로 해양으로 유입되는 유류의 유입량은 년간 약 2,350,000 들이며, 대략 15%는 자연적인 유입원이고, 85%는 인위적 유입원으로 유조선 사고, 정유공장, 도시 및 공장 폐수, 자동차 배기가스로 인한 것이다. 유입된 유류는 해양미생물이나 어류, 갑각류 등의 유생, 해양 포유류 등 해양 생물에 피해를 주어 생태계를 파괴시키며 인간의 연안활동이나 어업과 양식에 경제적 피해를 입히기도 한다. (중략)

Our country has experienced some difficulties with clean up operation of massive marine oil pollution due to the lack of oil spill response equipments. And there was the case that a fishing vessel performed clean up operation had not received any proper payments because of its inefficient oil spill response operation. Thus, it is important to develop an efficient oil recovery equipment for small vessel and adopt it as a part of oil pollution prevention policy. These efforts could prepare oil spill response equipment in advance and use a fishing vessel registered in the affected area by massive marine oil pollution. Therefore, this study examines and adopts a suitable subject vessels as a first step for developing oil recovery system fitting with small vessels for national use.
