Abstract
This study developed an electric power propulsion personal watercraft by combining a battery and an electric system from the domestic automobile industry with water motorcycle from marine leisure industry in a convergence of technology. It also developed a safety inspection plan and type approval standard for personal watercraft that use electric power propulsion. For the registration and production of the electric power PWC (Personal Watercraft), a safety inspection standard (draft) and type approval standard (draft) have been established. PWC that use this electric power propulsion certification standard have been divided into two categories according to the use of gasoline engines as related to the ship's electrical system. The contents of these safety inspections standards is divided into 7 categories, and their purpose is to confirm the facilities used for the safe operation of PWC. Type approval is divided into 7 categories and is intended to ensure the safe production of PWC. This is basic data can be used to establish criteria for safety inspection and type approval of electric power propulsion vessels and to guide the production of the environmentally friendly PWC in Korea.
