Abstract
The purpose of this study is to estimate a proper Domain Watch between anchored vessels in order to propose a method for the efficient management of VTS(Vessel Traffic Service) of the N-anchorage in Busan harbor, which is the largest port in Korea. For this purpose, we proposed the calculation method of Domain Watch and investigated the ship length(L), the distance between anchored vessels ($D_{ij}$), the domain radius(R), and the domain radius vs L(R/L) during the peak time of the vessels in the latest usage of anchorage. As a result of technical analysis for the surveyed data, the minimum R/L for securing the safety distance between anchored vessels was selected based on 2.85 corresponding to the 70th percentile of the total data. This result was applied to the N-anchorage of Busan and compared with the 'Guidelines of Port and Harbor Design(2014)', and we have confirmed that it is reasonable to set the Domain radius with the minimum 2.85L or more in VTS. This study considers the safety management of anchorage for VTS. This study could contribute to the safety of vessels using anchorage and the safety management plan of VTS when it is applied to other ports in operation such as it was in Busan.
