Abstract

With regard to a marine safety system, large vessels are generally loaded with INS (Integrated Navigation System). But although small and medium-sized ships are exposed to safety accidents in the sea, they are not carrying proper navigation devices and equipment. Accordingly, in order to develop INS for small and medium-sized ships(s-INS), an existing INS has newly been organized and integrated. Recently, more strict enforcement of INS-related regulations is expected at home and abroad, and the scope of their applications is being broadened. To keep up with this global trend that ships are being loaded with digital devices and equipment, this study has tried to develop s-INS, broadening its applications, and suggesting a future research plan.
