The amount of Sea Casualty is increased by heavy sea traffic, increasing sea-borne cargoes, and superannuated vessels. This study analyzed the circumstance of ship salvage in Korean Salvage Units and management of Salvage Divers in Korea and other countries in order to make establishment of Ship Salvage Divers. This paper reputed the object, the necessity and the character of Ship Salvage Divers. For the purpose of study two parts are considered in order to analyze the environment of salvage divers(the circumstance of Sea Casulties and Ship Salvage). Under the present circumstance in Korea this development planning study may be restricted, but the effective planning to activate Korean Ship Salvage Diver is abstracted as follows; First, the political assistance of concerned government authority is needed. Second, establishment of new course, grade, certificate and licence for Salvage Diver is a Pre-requisite factor for the successful enactment. Third, establishment of Korean Ship Salvage Diving Center or School is strongly required.

Sea casualties may happen in ship, cargo and the others concerned with sea transportation. : the shipo-wer, marine insurer and salvage company have been endeavored to compensate salvage award with some rule and regulation such as Marine Insurance Act, York Antwerp Rules and Average adjustment rules. Once sea casualties happened, the salvage contract is established between the owners, marine insurance and salvage company, the contract are divided into so many kinds of them. In this paper, we have an analysis on the character of the salvage contract whether the characteristic contents of them are in benefit to any party or not. In this connection with these positive or negative character of the contract, it is worthwhile to compare the actual salvage expenses contract with no cure no pay contract. LOF 1990 has been revised recently, which is based on no cure no pay, expecially, the special compensation, safety net clause of LOF 1990 could be understood in the view of the prevention of sea pollution and the preservation of sea circumstances in the world. Salvage has the complicated and quality, because the adjustment of almost salvage charges have been treated through the other sea casualties which is accompanied by and mixed with. Besides of the importance of salvage contracts, we are in need to understand that what the diversified character of salvage charges are. Furthermore the owners should carefully select the insured conditions on Hull Insurance according to the type of his company, operating ocean route, loading cargo and etc. In this paper, we would try to analyze the character of the salvage award such as General Average, Sue and Labour Charges and Particular charges. We would like to propose that the uniformed system of the salvage award. Compensation should be built up for the effective and efficient salvage operation and for reducing the claims and conflicts from the concerned parties. To this end, we could expect that the uniformed system for salvage award compensation will come to be the benefit of all owners, insurers, salvage company.

This paper reviewed the general definition and role of salvage duty, and performed competency analysis based on the present state of ROK Navy's and Korean civilian's salvage operation. Also, to enhance the national salvage ability, the salvage system of advanced maritime nations such as America, Great Britain were studied. Putting these information together, it is concluded that for the expansion and development of Korean salvage system, the nationally combined salvage assets must be utilized for civilian salvage operations and internationally recognized diving certification system should be introduced and joint organization of civilian-government-Navy should be established to enable the execution of such plans.

Salvage has been allowed as general average since 1974. However, the adoption of YAR 2004 which had reflects cargo interest's position has made salvage unallowable in general average. The YAR do not have the force of a convention and only apply by mutual agreement between the parties to the contract of carriage. Thus, it is important that any changes to the Rules have the consent of major stakeholder. However, shipowners generally refuged to accept the incorporation of the 2004 Rules. The revised 2016 Rules is the result of compromise between the ship and cargo interests. YAR 2016 Rule VI has the premise that salvage is allowable as general average. However, with regard to the types of salvage that are payable independently by ship and cargo such as under Lloyd's Open Form it does not allow these type of salvages as general average and reapportion them, unless causes significantly inequitable result and meets five conditions. In addition, it makes the adjuster's task much easier as it avoids the deduction in respect of salvage payment can readily be calculated by total amount paid to the salvor. The salvage issue to be dealt with in YAR 2016 reduces the complexity, cost and delay in adjusting general average.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) is a disease whose primary initial treatment is radiation. Results of radiation therapy in early stage disease is promising; however, in stage IV disease, the best reported five-year survival is only about 30%. In patients with post-radiation recurrent disease, radiation controls only a small portion of patients, as well as being associated with significant radiation injury. In this paper we discuss the use of salvage treatment modalities for post-radiation recurrence. A retrospective chart review and analysis of salvage treatment results were performed for 39 patients with recurrent post-radiation NPC and positive cervical lymph nodes during the period beginning 1985 until 1995. Mean age of these patients was 52.3$\pm$10.37 years and male: female ratio was 1.8 : 1. Twenty patients were treated with salvage treatment, and ten patients were treated by salvage chemotherapy. A total of nine patients underwent surgical salvage treatment, including neck dissection(6), transnasal laser surgery and booster radiotherapy(2), and primary surgery(1). Salvage treatment were effective in reducing patients' pain in twenty patients (51.3%) and prolonging life in nine patients(23.1%); however, recurrence of disease within six months and/or residual disease by clinical or radiologic exam was noted in all patients receiving salvage radiotherapy, chemotherapy, laser surgery with radiotherapy, and primary site surgery. In the group undergoing salvage neck dissection, three patients(50%) were disease free for at least two years. Of the different modalities, radiotherapy was associated with the best quality of life while catastrophic salvage surgery resulting in insignificant prolongation of life was associated with the poorest quality of life. We conclude that salvage surgery is the optimal choice of treatment for regional recurrence such as nodal failure, however palliative salvage therapy could be preferred in other cases with recurrent post-radiation NPC.

Since marine accidents cause large-scale damage to human lives and the marine environment, prompt response measures are crucial including salvage operations for ships and cargoes along with lifesaving operations. In Korea, marine salvage operations are mainly dependent on global salvage companies in case of large-scale marine accidents due to lack of national capacity for marine salvage. The purpose of this study was to suggest public measures for the promotion of the private salvage industry by identifying the current situation and problems in the domestic marine salvage industry. As a result of the study, the measures of setting up a dedicated agency to support the domestic salvage industry and the function of the dedicated agency were identified and presented. In addition, the main points of the bill of "Law on the Promotion of the Domestic Salvage Industry" were presented to support and promote the salvage industry. To prepare the draft bill of law, relevant domestic laws and international conventions were examined to define the terms and regulations. Based on the legislation enacted as a result of this study, relevant ministries should focus on the legislative process. Legislation can be pursued by competent ministries in cooperation with the private sector and academia. It is expected that this study will help in the development of the domestic marine salvage industry and enhance the national response capacity for marine accidents in Korea.

In the salvage area, the location of the incident vessel and diver to rescue the victim are very important. But there are no ways but to rely on the GPS satellites to obtain the location in the salvage sites. Because the positioning using GPS satellites has a measurement error of up to 50 meters caused by the status of the atmosphere, a new positioning method with more accuracy should be devised. So if studies on measuring the position of the ships and divers accurately in the sea are performed, it will be helpful in the field of the salvage positioning. In this paper, a high precision positioning system in salvage using DGPS signal through mobile broadcasting is proposed with positioning error of up to 1 meter.

It is very important to salvage the vessel and seafarer rapidly and efficiently when maritime accident occurred, as maritime accident has a bad effect on vessel, seafarer and shipping industry as well as the whole community itself. Especially, marine salvage in relation to the accident involving huge marine pollution and loss of life will be regarded as a more important process because the accident would result more severe damages. However, domestic marine salvage forces are weaker than other country's, and private marine salvage company has poor technical and commercial base even though the Korea Coast Guard and Navy have relatively more modernized equipments and squad. Thus, it is very important to promote marine salvage operation capacity because it is related with the national security as well as the national economy. In this regard, this study examines the promoting method of marine salvage including its public and private section from the perspectives of law and systemic revision.

Recently limb-salvage operation is widely used for the treatment of malignant bone tumor. But distal leg is out of range of limb-salvage operation due to its technical problem. We report satisfactory limb-salvage operation with tumor prosthesis in 3 cases of osteosarcoma of the distal tibia and fibula. Two cases involved in the tibia and 1 case in the fibula. Average age at operation was 23 years. Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy were performed in all 3 cases. We used custom made tumor prosthesis which is designed by Seoul National University Orthopaedic Department. Overall Functional Evaluations by Enneking rating system were good in all 3 cases. All cases are CDF(continuosly disease free since the surgical procedure) state at mean follow-up 2 year and 9 months. In conclusion limb-salvage with tumor prosthesis is useful treatment modality for malignant bone tumor of distal tibia and fibula. Good functional results and few complications suggests limb salvage of distal lower leg may be replaceable with B-K amputation.
