Abstract

This study aims to enhance the effectivity of VTS(Vessel Traffic Service) control by investigating the minimum safe distance between vessel and vessel, vessel and land(obstacle) for the vessel's safe navigation within the VTS control area. In addition, to suggest basic data for the safe navigation, this study has done survey and analysis to each VTS center, and individual on the minimum safe distance to VTS operators of each ports of korea. Through ocean voyage by training ship, Singapore and Malacca strait's congested vessel traffic zone's control distance was compared and investigated the difference on safe distance by the different VTS operators. As a result, there was huge difference of minimum safe distance between the VTS operators belong to the same center. Over all, the port with gentle coastline, like donghae, the safe distance was wider than the other port. On the other hand, port with complex coastline and frequent entry and departure of the vessel, like mokpo, the safe distance was the shortest of all. Therefore, development of module suitable to port's natural conditions and traffic volume's necessity is required, for the operators affiliated to the same VTS center control according to formal method. Lastly, the full discussion by the expert group about establishment of standard control procedure in the future should be considered as well.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 각 항만 VTS에서 근무하고 있는 현직 관제사들을 대상으로 관제 구역 내에서 선박의 안전한 운항을 위해 선박과 선박 사이 및 선박과 육지(장애물)와의 최소 안전거리를 조사하여 VTS 관제의 효율성을 제고하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 안전한 선박 통항을 위한 기초 자료를 제시하기 위해 우리나라 각 항만 VTS 관제사들이 관제하는 안전이격거리를 각 VTS 센터별, 개인별로 설문 조사 및 분석을 하고 실습선을 이용하여 선박 통항이 밀집되어 있는 싱가포르와 말라카 해협에서의 관제 거리를 서로 비교하여 VTS 관제사간의 최소안전거리에 어떠한 차이점이 있는지를 조사하였다. 설문조사 결과 같은 VTS 소속임에도 불구하고 개인별로 관제하는 최소안전거리에는 많은 차이가 있고 전체적으로 해안선이 완만한 동해항의 경우 관제 안전거리가 타 항만보다 컸으며 해안선이 복잡하고 어선 및 여객선의 입출항이 잦은 목포항이 관제 안전거리가 가장 짧음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 동일한 VTS에 근무하는 관제사들이 정형화된 관제 방법에 따라 관제를 할 수 있도록 항만의 자연조건이나 교통량에 적합한 모듈(Module)을 개발할 필요성이 필요하며 향후에는 표준관제절차 수립을 위한 전문가 집단의 충분한 논의가 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
