Abstract
The purpose of this study is to improve the current vessel departure control regulations to prevent traffic congestion after the lifting of vessel departure controls due to restricted visibility. AIS data was collected to analyze the traffic volume of normal traffic flow and after departure control. A statistical test was conducted to confirm the difference in traffic volume at peak hours according to whether or not departure control was used. The results of the t-test showed that there was a significant difference in traffic volume among groups of less than 10,000 tons in gross tonnage. However, the Mann-Whitney test showed no difference in traffic volume regardless of vessel control. Small and medium-sized vessels of less than 10,000 tons after departure control increased in traffic volume by 142% over normal traffic, and it was concluded that traffic congestion resulted as these small and medium-sized vessels were departing at the same time as large vessels of more than 10,000 tons. In order to prevent vessel collision accidents due to traffic congestion, it is suggested that the navigability of vessels less than 160 m or less than 10,000 tons should be improved.
