The areas be affected maritime police authority of the Republic of Korea, are largely classified as inland waters, territorial waters, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf(hereinafter referred to as "domestic sea area") and high seas. Of these, the maritime police authority in domestic sea area follows a municipal law that accommodates the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea(UNCLOS). In addition, this Convention shall apply on the high seas. Meanwhile, on the high seas, foreign vessels other than domestic vessels are allowed to be subject to limited jurisdiction only for the anti-mankind criminal acts, such as piracy etc. this is in accordance with the principle of "Freedom of the high seas" and "maritime flag state," under this Convention. However, the illegal acts of foreign vessels that threaten the security of coastal states and the safety of ships on the high seas can cause many types of crimes other than anti-mankind criminal acts, and the jurisdiction of the coastal states exercised may lead to conflicts between countries. Therefore, this article would like to suggest a plan for institutional improvement to maintain international maritime order on the high seas and secure maritime police authority in coastal states.

This study aims to analyse determinants of payment balance of Korea, targeting 65 countries which concluded FTA with Korea in 2012 or are pursuing it with Korea( effectuation, agreement, negotiation and joint research). For an analysis model, economic and geographical variables of target countries were included in explanatory variables of the gravity model and divided values which indicate surpluses or deficits in trade with Korea were marked in dependent variables to perform a logistic analysis. If payment balance in trade between Korea and specific countries is a surplus, a value of 1 is given and if it is a deficit, a value of 0 is given. As a result of estimating the logit model, it was discovered that variables of GDP, GDP per person, total trade with trade partners, petroleum, landlocked countries and maritime powers were not statistically significant. However, variables of total trade, export dependency, import dependency, distance and mineral were statistically significant.

On April 20, 2010, semi-submersible offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon was exploded and sank, and 4.9 million barrels(about 778 thousand tons) of crude oil was spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. As more than one year has been passed since the incident, a lot of investigation reports and lessons learned have been made public and also a lot more will be released soon. This paper studies the final report of the National Commission on "the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling", which was organized by the executive directive of U.S. President Barack Obama, and the interim report of Joint Investigation team of U.S. Coast Guard and BOEMRE of "Report of Investigation into the Circumstances Surrounding the Explosion, Fire, Sinking and Loss of Eleven Members Aboard the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit Deepwater Horizon". The review is focused on the response to the oil spill. And the paper suggests how to improve national marine pollution response policy. In the paper, the Korean governments is suggested to reinforce the capability for instructing and supervising the responsible party's source control measures, to review how to introduce in-situ burning and vessel of opportunity program into our country, and to continue monitoring on the progress of developments of R&D projects related to oil spill response in the U.S..

The Yellow sea, as described in article 123 of UNCLOS, is semi-enclosed sea surrounded by the Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China and North Korea. In addition, the Yellow Sea is one of the 66 large marine ecosystems as it contains large amounts of marine resources. According to article 194 of UNCLOS, states should be aware of rights and duties with respect to the protection and preservation of the marine environment to be engaged with countries directly as regional entity or indirectly. Therefore, the legal blank is urgent in terms of trans-boundary environmental pollutant issues. The UNDP has conducted a project called Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) which has reached the 2^nd phase. The project has some notable achievements, namely performing joint activities on analysis of diagnostic trans-boundary issues in collaboration with China and South Korea, developing a strategic action plan based on TDA, and establishing regional strategic action plan. However, on the other hand, the project could not reflect the full participation of North Korea as a state party. As a result, the project has a limitation on effective implementation of RSAP. Therefore, this study focuses on the suggestion of a legally-binding trilateral treaty as a blue print for the next, 3^rd phase of the project. By analyzing the best practice of the Wadden Sea Trilateral Treaty case, the study verifies the validity of legislative measures on establishing and managing a legally-binding trilateral YSLME Commission. By suggesting a three phase treaty, incorporating a joint declaration by establishing the commission, the signing of the treaty, and formulating an umbrella convention and implementation arrangement, the study expects to guarantee the consistency and sustainability of the trilateral treaty regardless of political issues pertaining to North Korea.

전 세계 국제무역거래의 80%가 해상운송으로 이루어지고 있음에 따라, 연 6%로 세계 컨테이너 물동량의 증가가 전망됨에 따라 선박기인 온실가스의 증가에 대한 관심과 규제가 강화되고 있다. 즉 IMO 제62차 해양환경보호위원회에서 선박기인 온실가스 규제방안으로 EEDI와 SEEMP를 도입, 현재 발효 중에 있으며, 각 국의 항만당국 또한 대기오염 등의 환경규제 정책의 일환으로 그린 또는 에코포트 정책을 수립하여 이행 중에 있다. 이러한 해운환경의 변화로 인하여 해운선사는 글로벌 경쟁력 강화와 환경규제에 대응하기 위하여, 선박의 대형화를 통한 규모의 경제 실현은 물론, 급등하는 유가와 환경규제에 대비하여 고 에너지효율 및 저탄소 선박에 대한 수요가 늘어나고 있다. 이에 일본, 싱가폴, 노르웨이 등 EU 국가 등의 해운 선진국들은 1990년대 후반부터 친환경 선박의 개발에 대한 국가적 프로젝트를 체계적으로 이행해 오고 있으며, 이를 통한 친환경 선박기술의 확보와 친환경 선박시장의 점유율을 높이고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 본 논문은 선진 해운국가들이 수행중인 친환경 선박개발의 현황에 대한 벤치마킹을 통하여 상대적으로 뒤쳐져 있는 우리나라 친환경 선박개발 방안을 위한 여러 정책적 제안을 하고자 한다.

우리나라의 GIS 구축을 육상과 해상으로 나누어 볼 때 육상부분은 국가지리정보체계사업에 의해 대도심지 중심으로 거의 구축이 완료된 상태이다. 그리나, 해상부분에 있어서의 GIS 구축은 해양수산부가 중심이 되어 구축중이나 아직 지리정보와 속성정보의 정의와 초기구축단계에 있는 실정이다. 지리정보체계는 보다 효율적인 활용방안을 위해 GPS와 연결되어 항법 및 위치추적시스템과 연결되어 그 파급효과를 극대화시키는 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. GPS는 정확도면을 기준으로 볼 때 항법용과 정밀측량용으로 나누어진다. 현재는 GPS 기술이 상당히 발전하여 저가격의 정밀측량용 GPS 장비가 소개되고 있지만, 아직은 그 비용면에서 사용자가 원하는 정도의 저가격은 되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 자동차나 선박항해를 위해 사장되는 GPS 장비는 저가격의 항법용 GPS 장비가 현재 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 항법용의 저가격의 GPS 장비를 이용하여 해양부분에 있어서 정밀 선박항법 및 위치추적시스템으로 활용하기 위해 측지학적인 좌표해석을 기본으로 한 선박항법시스템을 구축하는 것이다. 또한, 본 연구를 통하여 각자의 선박항법과 더불어 관리국에서 많은 선박을 관리하기 위한 인터넷 GIS 구축에 대한 필요성을 게시하고자 한다.

R&D businesses lead by a government of each countries are recognized as important businesses that may affect the destinies of the nation. However, the process of developing a new business has not been so favorable as the process was primarily managed by engineers who concentrate on research development. The problem was solved by applying a business model regarding outcomes of a developed research. Yet it is difficult to apply the business model methods that are commonly used for enterprises to government's research businesses due to their unique research development characteristics. Therefore, it is developed a business model methodology for national R&D project in this study. In addition, the methodology applies to a sub-project of Korean Land Spatialization Program(KLSP) organized by Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs to verify the possibility of practical application.

Polymetallic sulphides means hydrothermally formed deposits of sulphide minerals which contain concentrations of metals including, inter alia, copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver. Nautilus is the first company to commercially explore the seafloor polymetallic sulphide deposits. The Company holds exploration licences and exploration applications for more than 370,000 $km^2$ in the jurisdictional seas of Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, the Solomon Islands and New Zealand along the western Pacific Ocean's Rim of Fire. Neptune Minerals is also a leading explorer and developer in this field, with exploration licences awarded totalling more than 270,000 $km^2$ in the territorial seas or EEZ of New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Federated States of Micronesia. These two companies now carry out the most active investment activities for seafloor polymetallic sulphide deposits with a goal of commercial production by 2010. China and Japan carry out exploration activities for the seafloor polymetallic sulphide deposits to secure supplies of strategic metals. China carries out national R&D projects relating to deep sea mineral resources in the world ocean through China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association(COMRA). And Japan investigates her own EEZ for exploration of the seafloor polymetallic sulphide deposits. In consideration of aforementioned international activities of coastal nations as well as private companies for exploring the sulphide deposits, Korea shall prepare strategic plans : First, consolidation of the authorities concerned and legislative support; second, determination of main entity of the project; third, securing government's decisive investment of sufficient budget; and lastly, establishment of the mid, long-term plan for development of seafloor polymetallic sulphides deposits.
