A Study on Collision and Legal Comparision of Application in Marine Traffic Laws

As the marine traffic thickens all over the world, the rate of marine casualities is on the increase, Also in Korea the number of the killed and the injured resulting from marine casualities such as ship's collision, increase continuously and the rate of marine casualities in 1992 came to the highest level in the world. The reason of rapid increasing the rte of marine casualities is the mistake of ship's steering in most case. By the way, because the administration of marine traffic is regarded as the belongs of land traffic, the scope of application in laws related to the safety of marine traffic is duplicated or unreasonable. In the view, in case of ship's collision, it is important to know the scope of application in Korean marine traffic laws and to point out the problems companies with them. Therefore, I suggest the improvement of marine traffic laws related to the safety of traffic administration.
