  • ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart) is an electronic chart that digitize nautical chart including all kinds of information of nautical chart. Mariners have difficulty reading information because of clutter problem if display scale of ECDIS is lower than compilation scale of ENCs. IHO made SCAMIN improvement model included in S-65 Standard to settle this ENC clutter problem. This SCAMIN model includes both simple restriction that should safety some requirement and share geographic information. and hard restriction that should overlap with area object such as depth area, land area, dredge area. It also apply SCAMIN step of sounding value according to importance of safety navigation. In this paper, we analyzed the restrictions for SCAMIN model of S-65 Standard, developed algorithm and application to apply theses restrictions reasonably and mechanically. Also we applied this algorithm and application to Korea ENCs and evaluated the result of performance.

  • Navigational charts in Korea have been increasingly published in line with the development of harbour for 60 years without a detailed planning. Recently, charts cause inconvenience to use and make navigator confused because they have not been adjoined to adjacent chart effectively and have been to overlap with other charts of the same scale. In this paper, we propose new chart system through adjusting area of the chart and rearranging its scale. This newly proposed scheme was first designed by researchers who have on-board career, then has been verified and revised by questionnaire and pilots' opinion. As a result, total number of Korean chart could be changed from 309 to 334.

  • Now Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration(KHOA) publishes 309 charts of 38 kinds of scale. Korea chart index number system is established with east, south and west sea areas. The chart number has been given irregularly in accordance with publication order so there is no consistence. The present chart index number system can classify sea areas but does not have information of scale, object and location. Therefore this chart's unsystematic management gives rise to inconvenience to the chart user. So, the standards of chart index number system is urgently needed for the efficient management & use of chart. In this paper, we intend to propose new chart index number system through adjusting area of chart and rearranging scale of charts. As a result, it is necessary to change from 3 digits to 4 digits index number to gain competitiveness & systematic management of Korea nautical charts.

  • Official Development Assistance(ODA) Project is initiated to assist a developing country economically and to promote its welfare. Support on training and information system development are the primary elements in the maritime safety field. The maritime safety information system(MSIS) of ODA projects deals with maritime safety information of developing nations and ensures an inter-operability between other systems. Therefore, it is required to develop MSIS based on the Universal Hydrographic Data Model(UHDM) of International Hydrographic Organization(IHO). In this paper, we have analyzed the current status and operational process of UHDM established by IHO. Oil spill response system was selected as an example of MSIS project and, also, considered the application results to the maritime safety field of UHDM.

  • As a marine leisure industry has being developed and demands for leisure culture have rapidly increased, the needs for services offering marine safety and related information are growing. Accordingly, in the study I developed the contents providing server to support this with ENC agent who presents geographical information of digitalized Electronic Nautical Chart satisfying with the standard(S-57) by International Hydrographic Organization and a web searching agent who builds a database by collecting marine-related information in order to provide a variety of realtime information such as weather, fishing and news. In addition, I designed and embodied network based mobile contents which can be presented on a WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability) based portable handset by receiving an ENC and other processed information from server. With the results produced by such experiments, I measured a compressibility corresponding to a image compression format of electronic nautical chart transmitted and analyzed the correlation between increase in packets of requested information and the cost.

  • The law of territorial sea is a fundamental law by which the width of sovereign domain of a coastal state is determined. The P.R.China'a regime on the territorial sea was established through the Declaration on China's Ttrritorial Sea of 1958 and the P.R.China's Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone Law of 1992. And the P.R.China's consistent policy on the territorial sea can be summarized as follows ; \circled1 The adoption of the straight baseline and 12 nautical miles of the territorial sea width, \circled2 The foreign merchant vessels can enjoy the right of innocent passage, while requesting for prior permission for the foreign military vessels on the entry into territorial sea. \circled3 The Chiungchow Strait and the Bohai Bay are claimed as the internal waters. \circled4 Enlistment of the whole coastal islands including the Taiwan. 12 nautical miles of the territorial sea width can be recognized as lawfull with respect to the 1982 UNLOS Convention. But the P.R.China's Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone Law of 1992 contains some problems on the legality viewed in the light of customary international law. Firstly, it can be said that the adoption of simple straight baseline is not reasonable, and it must be investigated closely on the hidden intention of China. Secondly, there involved some possibility of international dispute on making Tung Tao which is 69 nautical miles apart from the mainland of a basepoint and on making the Bohai Bay of a historic bay. And also public notification of all basepoints for the straight baselines is necessary to meet the requirement of customary international law, Thirdly, two military zones established unilaterally in 1950 are illegal with respect to the customary international law, and they must be repealed deservedly. Fourthly, there have a lot of restrictions on the innocent passage even for foreign merchant vessels by the municipal law such as the Maritime Traffic Safety Law. As a conclusion, the P.R.China's territorial sea regime contains some illegal elements such as unilateral expansion of the maritime sovereignty or jurisdiction. In order to meet the general principle of the international law, the P.R.China's territorial sea policy must be modified on the basis of multilateral agreement with the states concerned. And Korea, as a state with opposite, has a definite right to take countermeasure agaist the P.R.China's contiguous zone.

  • Copyright infringement and data piracy are pervasive problems of digital era and Electronic Navigational Charts(ENC) are not free from these issues. Aside from the economic impact, the unofficial distribution of nautical information has sign띠cant safeη concerns. Therefore, official distributors of nautical information have sought appropriate methods to protect their data and to provide the mariner with a certificate of authenticity through the adoption of security schema. However, a plethora of different security schema provided by independent distributors markedly complicates the software development of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) manufacturers and makes it more difficult to achieve the goal of seamless world-wide electronic navigational database easily accessible to the mariner. A fundamental concern of IHO is that adoption of a single, centrally administered security scheme for all ENCs could improve the ease of use of ENCs and enhance safety of navigation. IHO have driven protection scheme as S-63, S-63x. NORI(National Oceanographic Research Institute) necessarily need protection scheme and supporting system for nautical information. This paper presents protection scheme for NORI and proposes support system for ENC protection.
