Abstract
This study was carried out to reduce the number of marine accidents on versatile small ships and to minimize the casualties. The study looked into the compulsory education systems regarding embarkation on small ships such as the Korean Marine Officers Act, conducted a survey targeting on the education receivers to suggest problems, and drew a conclusion. Conclusions are as follows. First, it is needed to give education opportunities in the system by increasing the recipients of the Ships Officers Act, and to simplify the compulsory education by separating similar courses from the education regulated by the Korean Marine Officers Act, and by establishing integrated courses suitable to each size and facility of ships. Second, in cases where the compulsory education courses of different purpose of ships by other legislations are similar, it is necessary to expand the scope of the inter-education so that corresponding year's education is exempted. Third, by classifying the education ares, the education courses should be based on case studies and the audiovisual or field education that correlates relevant expertise should be managed within a reasonable time frame. Fourth, it is needed to enhance the education effect by converting the regular education courses to practical courses by different ships for safe navigation, and is also needed to review the system so that special courses for safe navigation can be carried out in each region on a regular basis by expanding both human and financial support of special institutions.
