Background: When managing patients who require repeated venous access, gaining a viable intravenous route has been problematic. To improve the situation, various studies on techniques for venous access have been conducted. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of complications following totally implanted central venous access port (TICVAP) insertion. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 163 patients, from December 2008 to March 2013. The occurrence of complications was studied in three separate periods of catheter use: the intraoperative period, postoperative period, and period during the treatment. Results: A total of 165 cases of TICVAP insertions involving 156 patients were included in the final analysis. There were 35 complications (21%) overall. Among these, 31 cases of complications (19%) occurred during the treatment period and the other 4 cases were intraoperative and postoperative complications (2%). There were no statistically significant differences in age and gender of the patients between the two groups to be risk factors (p=0.147, p=0.08). Past history of chemotherapy, initial laboratory findings, and the locations of TICVAP insertion also showed no statistical significance as risk factors (p>0.05). Conclusion: Because the majority of complications occurred after port placement and during treatment, meticulous care and management and appropriate education are necessary when using TICVAPs.

With the expansion of the shipping and port logistics industry in the 21st century, the traffic density is continuously increased because of the increase in volumes of world sea freight and fleets, as well as the increase in the causes of potential marine accidents, such as ship collisions and stranding. Accordingly, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has requested that the installation and operation of VTS should be applied in areas with high risk of marine traffic, and the request should be included as one of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. In this paper, the fundamental requirements of the radar system for vessel traffic services were analyzed and the analyzing factors were based on the IALA guideline.s This paper also includes results for the requirement and recommendation analysis on detection distance, target separation, and the target position accuracy of X-band radar. Also, to check if it satisfies the requirement of detection distance, range and azimuth separation of small point targets, and target position accuracy from the IALA guidelines, the test was conducted through the radar image acquired at the VTS center, and hence, the validity of the technical performance requirements was confirmed.

The purpose of this study is to find out what is the functional role of VTS in order to get the people concerned with marine traffic/transportation understand about VTS. VTS could be described as the essential risk management system in both cost effective on cost-benefit analysis and the sea space or time management at port, coastal environment. The important role of the VTS are those functions such as the decision making infrastructure, the passive/active safety measures at sea. VTS could not control/regulate marine traffic as strong as ATC(Air Traffic Control) owing to the marine traffic characters. However, the right and responsibility of VTS finally are belong to the master, pilot and mariners. For the benefit of the electronic technology development, VTS system also cloud be upgraded to communication system from information system. In connection with these system upgrading, the right and responsibility of VTS/staff should be supported by domestic legal system. The followings are presented for VTS to be effective. First, the cooperation and understanding of VTS between the peoples concerned with marine traffic/transportation are essential. Because they are all data supplier and also information consumers. Second, VTS staff/regulator should be selected, educated, trained accordingly as per their career, ability, quality, qualification, certification and etc. Third, the port reliability from VTS users depends on the factors such as economic interests, safety and effectiveness/efficiency of VTS.

This paper was a part of the risk management in planning a channel. It utilized Korea Marine Training & Research Institutes(KMTRI) which Houses a real-time, full-mission shiphandling simulator to examine the safety of the ship's transit in the planned channel of Asan port. 6 competent Captains participated in this study. The vessel modelled was a 60,000-ton ship. The two variables(factors) examined were environ-mental conditions such as flood-and-ebb current condition and day-and-night condition. The two variables were combined to produce four experimental conditions. To evaluate the safety of the environmental conditions, two categories of performance measures were analyzed. They were vessel's proximity to channel boundary and vessel controalbility. The findings regar-ding the effects of environmental conditions were as follows : - Closest Point of Approach(CPA) to channel boundary was enough for 60,000-ton ship to transit th-rough the channel with 99.999% confidence level. - Closest Point of Approach(CPA) to channel boundary further was under against-current condition than under with-current condition. -Vessel controlability was better under against-current condition than under with-current condition. -Vessel controlability was better under inbound transit than under outbound transit.

To find characteristics and areas of greater risk of oil spill at the coastal waters in Korea, some of risk factors were analyzed with historical data of oil spill and marine traffic. As a result, it is characterized that frequency of oil spill is increasing year by year and greatest percentage of spill source is fishing boat. It is proposed that the ports of Ulsan, Yeosu, Incheon and Pusan will be designated as primary area of risk as they have a higher risk of oil spills and its response authority is required to maintain appropriate regional response capability for prompt and effective response to a future spill incident. In addition, the regional response equipments at Ulsan are examined under a assumption of a medium size spill and it is found that the use of chemical dispersant can be an alternative when mechanical containment and recovery is not feasible in this area, and the existing response equipments may be appropriate to address that size of spill. However, the response authority is required to maintain more numbers of stronger boom for unsheltered waters and more quantity of concentrate dispersant to disperse all spilled oils on the water, furthermore the response authority should be prepared for a possible future catastrophic spill with sufficient equipments.

선박의 최적 항로 계획은 주어진 해양 환경에서 운항 시간 혹은 연료 소모량을 최소로 하는 항로 계획이다. 대양을 운항하는 선박의 최적 항로에 관한 기존 연구와 다르게, 본 연구에서는 연안에서 좌초 위험을 회피하는 선박의 항로 계획을 위한 최적화 방법을 제안하였다. Dijkstra 알고리즘을 사용하여 항로의 변경 지점을 찾고, 최적화 설계 변수를 엔진 회전수로 설정하여 연료 소모량이 최소가 되도록 최적화를 수행하였다. 엔진 회전수를 설정하는 방법은 출발지에서 도착지까지 고정 회전수로 설정하는 방법과 구간을 나누어 구간별 고정 회전수를 설정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 항로 탐색을 위해 고려한 해양 환경 요소는 바람, 파고, 조류이며 좌초 위험을 계산하기 위해 수심 정보를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 목포와 제주를 오가는 선박을 대상으로 적용하여 최적의 항로를 결정하였으며, 최적 항로를 기존에 항해했던 항로와 비교하여 연료 소모량이 절감된 것을 확인하였다.

Safety at sea continues to be an important topic for research. The factors that contribute to safety issues are often complex and unclear. Lack of non-technical skills in such areas as communication, teamworking, situational awareness, decision making etc. are well documented as directly affecting safety in high risk work settings such as on board merchant vessels. Competence in non-technical skills can be affected by various habits and circumstances that influence a worker and result in either positive thinking and behaviour or negative thinking and behaviour. Negative thinking can cause stress, anger, frustration; loneliness etc. and this can possibly result in behaviour or actions that undermine the safety of crew and ship. Factors that may contribute to these negative thoughts and behaviours are many and varied and this paper will be looking at one aspect: mobile phone use. In the Republic of Korea, dependency on mobile phones is uniquely high. Maritime students are also susceptible to such dependency and this paper will demonstrate that the symptoms associated with mobile phone addiction and dependency, and in particular the symptoms of withdrawal, are important factors that need to be mitigated in order to improve safety at sea. Although the benefits of mobile phones are many it will be suggested that over-reliance, dependency or addiction can result in negative thinking or behaviour that may directly or indirectly contribute to the factors that cause incidents and accidents at sea. It will be suggested that the most appropriate method of dealing with this problem is twofold: firstly, through training at the educational level and secondly, by encouraging the shipping industry and government to invest more into providing seafarers with better access to the communication methods that they are used to on shore in order to improve work conditions.

유조선은 보통 상선과는 다른 선체구조와 작업환경을 가지고 있다. 유조선에서 사고가 발생하면, 보통 상선에서는 선박과 화물에 제한되지만 유조선 사고에 따른 피해는 선박과 화물에 추가하여 유류유출에 따른 엄청난 제3자에 대한 배상책임을 져야한다. 따라서 유조선 운항에 따른 위험요소, 사전/사후손실통제, 해상 보험과 관련된 법규정을 이해하고, 기대하지 않은 사고가 발생할 때 피해를 최소화해야 할 것이다. 이러한 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 사전에 유류오염방지 시스템구축 및 유류오염 피해보상에 대한 준비를 해야만 한다. 이러한 준비에도 불구하고, 유조선 사고는 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 유조선 운항에 따른 근본적이면서 전반적인 위험관리 방안에 대해 연구하였다.

최근 부산신항은 항계 내의 장해물 제거 공사와 함께 부두 부근 항내 수심을 17m까지 확보하여 컨테이너 선박의 대형화 추세에 지속해서 대응하고 있다. 한편, 2020년도에는 24,000TEU급 초대형 컨테이너 선박이 입항하고 있으며, 이와 같은 흐름에 맞추어 추후 항내 수심을 23m까지 확보하는 것을 계획 중이다. 이처럼 대형선박 입항 시 상황에 따라 주의하여야 할 요소에 대한 사전 점검이 필요하며, 이를 위한 이해관계자 간의 정보 공유가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 초대형 컨테이너 선박의 통항에 따른 해당 항로의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 선박 입·출항 통계자료 및 선박 운항 성능 자료를 바탕으로 통항 안전성 평가를 시행하였으며, 4,000 TEU선박 통항시와 비교하여 최대 8.4%높은 위험도가 발생하였다. 또한, 초대형 컨테이너 선박의 부산신항 내 안전한 통항을 위한 도선 관점에서의 운항 특성 의견을 취합하여 최소안전수심과 예선 운용 방안 등의 안전대책을 함께 제시하였다. 이를 통하여 초대형 컨테이너 선박의 부산신항 입·출항시 사고 예방에 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
