Purpose - This study investigates the impact of inland port development in China on the promotion of bilateral trade flows between China and South Korea. Design/methodology - The probable association between the establishment of inland ports and Sino-Korea trade was estimated using gravity models. In this regards, two sets of data were collected. The first dataset consists of the baseline variables of a gravity model, while the second one includes variables of logistics infrastructure development. The indicators of logistics infrastructure development include inland ports, the amount of government expenditure on transport infrastructure, the lengths of roads and railways, the number of trucks and the number of logistics industry workforce. Findings - The results show that inland port development has a positive impact on facilitating bilateral trade between China and South Korea. However, the positive association holds only for Chinese regions with a large trade volume and a proximity to seaports. In other regions, the impact of inland ports is not statistically significant. Originality/value - To the best knowledge of the authors, this study is the first attempt to explore the economic impact of inland ports in China. In addition, the findings in this paper provide both policy and managerial implications for the future development of inland ports, such as the strategic location of inland ports and integrated intermodal operations.

Hot-dip galvanized steel(GI) is widely used throughout the industry as a corrosion resistance material. Corrosion of steel is a common phenomenon that results in the gradual degradation under various environmental conditions. Corrosion monitoring is to track the degradation progress for a long time. Corrosion on steel plate appears as discoloration and any irregularities on the surface. This study developed a quantitative evaluation method of the rust formed on GI steel plate using a superpixel-based DBSCAN clustering method and k-means clustering from the corroded area in a given image. The superpixel-based DBSCAN clustering method decrease computational costs, reaching automatic segmentation. The image color of the rusty surface was analyzed quantitatively based on HSV(Hue, Saturation, Value) color space. In addition, two segmentation methods are compared for the particular spatial region using their histograms.

Although it is highly dependent on the production of coastal and offshore fishing, the Fishing Vessels Safety Fisheries Act was enacted in 2019 due to the continuous increase in marine accidents of coastal and offshore fishing vessels. However, the law is too focused on fishing and navigation in certain waters and does not contain accident-preventive content. Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries proposes a plan to revise the Fishing Boat Safety Fishing Act through legal comparison with Japan's Seafarers' Labor Sanitation Rules. It also proposes an amendment that includes the content of the Seafarers Act on post-accident action obligations. Under the Fishing Vessels Safety Fishing Act, the safety fishing education is implemented for specific people and adopts a method of delivery education after completing the education. The reason for this is that the educational requirements are not sufficient compared to the number of education personnel. Moreover, four hours of education are conducted once a year, which is not suitable for insufficient educational conditions. For efficient safety fishing education, improvement measures are proposed compared to education in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Around the 1980s, with government's promotion and dissemination policies for FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) of the government as a main material of fishing boats, approximately 97% of the entire fishing boats in Korea have utilized FRP until now. Nevertheless, diverse social and environmental issues have emerged due to the susceptibility to fire and the generation of substances detrimental to human health during the construction process of FRP fishing vessels. Especially, the high disposal cost and the limitation of recycling technology in the disposal process of FRP fishing boats have elicited attention to circular economy. This research intended to grasp the management status and problems of disposed FRP fishing boats in Korea, and to assess the level of competitive advantage of FRP fishing boats' recycling technologies of FRP fishing boats based on VRIO (Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization) analysis through domestic and foreign management policies and related recycling examples. According to the survey of 161 respondents, including the industry, stakeholders and experts related to the collection, treatment and recycling of fisheries wastes, it was revealed that FRP fishing boats' recycling technologies of FRP fishing boats are at the level of 'unused competitive advantage' that satisfied the level of value, rarity and imitability, but not the level of organization.

As a 4th industrial revolution technology, robots are changing the form of labor market and trade in Korea. In the future, changes in the international trade order are expected to move in the direction of shortening global supply chains and restricting trade between countries. Accordingly, reshoring of relocating overseas production facilities to Korea or near-shoring of relocating overseas production facilities to neighboring allies may expand. In this context, this study analyzed the impact of robot introduction on the domestic labor market and trade based on firm-level data. As a result of analysis based on the 'business activity data' accumulated from 2017 to 2019, the introduction of robot technology was analyzed to expand low-wage, low-skilled employment. Analysis on trade shows that the introduction of robots decreases exports and increases imports. In order to expand exports through the technology of the 4th industrial revolution, employment expansion and robot introduction should occur at the same time, rather than replacing the labor force with robots. In addition, it is thought that reshoring's goal of risk management can be achieved when a stable supply chain for imports of raw materials or essential goods, which are difficult to transfer to Korea, is established together.

In response to the complexity and time demands of conventional methods for estimating the hydrodynamic coefficients, this study aims to revolutionize ship maneuvering analysis by utilizing automatic identification system (AIS) data and the Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithm. The AIS data were collected and processed to remove outliers and impute missing values. The rate of turn (ROT), speed over ground (SOG), course over ground (COG) and heading (HDG) in AIS data were used to calculate the rudder angle and ship velocity components, which were then used as training data for a regression model. The accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm were validated by comparing SVR-based estimated hydrodynamic coefficients and the original hydrodynamic coefficients of the Mariner class vessel. The validated SVR algorithm was then applied to estimate the hydrodynamic coefficients for real ships using AIS data. The turning circle test wassimulated from calculated hydrodynamic coefficients and compared with the AIS data. The research results demonstrate the effectiveness of the SVR model in accurately estimating the hydrodynamic coefficients from the AIS data. In conclusion, this study proposes the viability of employing SVR model and AIS data for accurately estimating the hydrodynamic coefficients. It offers a practical approach to ship maneuvering prediction and control in the maritime industry.

The United States enforces the seafood import regulations so-called the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), and by 2023, all exports of aquatic products and processed fish products by fisheries which have not obtained an "Comparability Finding" from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be completely banned. Therefore, to respond to the US MMPA, it is critical to identify technologies and methods used in worldwide for reducing bycatch of marine mammals. In particular, marine mammals are frequently caught in five fisheries (trawl, gill net, trap, stow net and set net) in Korea, which is facing a great challenge. This study presented bycatch reduction methods by five fisheries, classified the methods by country, and suggested appropriate reduction methods which can be applied in Korea.

In this study, the effect of Distribution efficiency through the fishery production base distribution center (FPC) on the production site board facility was studied. FPC is a new distribution system for Korean fishery products that has been promoted in earnest since 2012, and in this study, the effect before and after the introduction of FPC was analyzed using the DID (Difference in Difference) model for the effect of FPC in the fishery industry. The results of analysis shows that in the case of Wando Geumil FPC, the volume and unit price of consignment sales decreased during the analysis period, which was statistically significant. In the case of Sokcho FPC, the volume of consignment sales decreased during the analysis period, which was statistically insignificant. But the unit price of consignment sales rose during the analysis period, which was statistically significant. In the case of Gyeongju FPC, the volume of consignment sales increased during the analysis period, which was statistically significant at the 90% confidence level. But the unit price of consignment sales fell during the analysis period, which was statistically significant.

보안산업은 급속한 성장을 지속하고 있고 보안산업관련 연구 역시 최근 크게 늘고 있다. 그러나 보안산업에 대한 역사적 연구는 아직까지 미흡한 실정이다. 특히 국내 보안산업의 역사적 기원에 대한 연구는 매우 드물다고 할 수 있다. 역사적인 사료(史料)를 통해 볼 때 국내 보안산업은 그 기원을 장보고의 활동에서 찾을 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 우리나라의 삼국사기와 삼국유사는 물론이고 중국과 일본의 사서(史書)에 장보고의 청해진 설치와 해적 소탕 등의 활약상이 기록되어 있으며, 장보고가 청해진을 설치해 해적소탕과 해상무역 보호라는 보안서비스를 제공한 대가로 해상무역권이라는 이권을 취하고 막대한 경제적 부(富)를 축적했다는 점에서 보안산업 활동을 했다고 여겨지는 것이다. 즉, 장보고가 당시의 고질적인 사회경제적 문제였던 해적을 퇴치하고 해상무역을 보호하면서 경제 수익을 창출하는 기업 활동을 벌였다는 점에서 장보고의 활동은 보안산업의 영역으로 분류할 수 있는 것이다. 이와 함께 장보고의 활동과 비슷한 역사적 기록이 장보고 이전에는 발견되지 않는다는 점에서 우리나라 최초의 보안산업 활동으로 판단된다. 역사적 기록에 나타나는 장보고의 활동은 당시 중국은 물론 이슬람 문화권과 유럽에도 그 유례를 찾아보기 어려울 만큼 근대적 성격의 보안산업 형태와 기능을 수행했다고 여겨진다. 세계 보안산업의 역사에 있어서 장보고 활동의 의의를 찾아볼 수 있는 것이다. 다만, 안타깝게도 세계는 물론 우리나라에서도 이러한 장보고의 보안산업활동 및 세계 보안산업 역사에서 차지하는 위상에 대해 적절한 평가 작업이 이뤄지지 않고 있으며 향후 후속연구에서 지속적으로 추진해야 하는 과제가 아닐 수 없다.
