STCW-F협약은 어선에서 인적요소에 의한 해양사고예방을 위하여 IMO가 1995년에 채택한 협약으로 발효 요건은 15개국만 비준하면 발효되도록 한 협약이나 아직 발효되고 있지 않으나 최근에 비준국가의 급격한 증가로 발효가 임박하였다. 협약은 그 명칭에서 보는 바와 같이 어선 해기사의 자격증명과 훈련 및 당직근무의 기준에 관한 것이다. 자격증명은 무제한 수역에서 조업하는 길이 24미터 이상 항해어선의 당직항해사와 선장, 길이 45미터 이상 제한수역에서 조업하는 당직항해사 및 선장에 대한 자격증과 주기관 추진력 750킬로와트 이상 어선에 승무하는 일등기관사 및 기관장에 대한 자격증명 및 무선통신사의 자격증명이 있다. 훈련은 모든 어선원을 위한 기초안전훈련이 있으며 당직근무기준은 어선에서 항해당직을 유지하기 위하여 준수해야할 원칙이 있다. 또한 회의에서 채택한 결의서가 9개 있다. 특히 동 협약이 발효되면 비차별 조항에 따라 당사국은 항만국 통제를 시행할 수 있으므로 주요 연안국에서 입어 협상 등에서 자기 나라의 입지를 강화하기 위한 수단으로 사용될 소지도 있어 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

The purpose of this paper is to develope a training model and to make a syllabus for electro-technical officers(ETOs) on ship. In order to complete the purpose, firstly we study on qualification for electro-technical officers and also examine the foreign, domestic cases. Secondly, through the STCW convention and the IMO Model Course 7.08, we have compared the standards of competence for officers in charge of an engineering watch and ETO, and analyze the additional standards of competence to acquire the ETO's licenses. Finally, based on the results of this, we will suggest the development of a training model that officers in charge of an engineering watch must complete in order to obtain an ETO's license. This paper is expected to be useful in the educational institution preparing for training course.

It requires long time and high cost for an apprentice engineer to reach the level of getting various experiences of engine space machinery and preparing for emergency situations. Therefore reducing the time and cost, several types of simulator that give the very similar surroundings to the ship engine room, relevant to STCW-95 are used for systematic education and training to get many experiences and good judgement in emergency. Since most simulators that are operated in Korea were imported from foreign countries, it is difficult to directly implant the amendments of STCW Convention and reflect International Maritime Organization (IMO) model courses. This study describe a development of marine auxiliary boiler simulator that makes the apprentice engineer easier to understand the relationship between equipments in steam system such as auxiliary boiler, exhaust gas boiler, and steam turbine.

The Autonomous ships are equipped with a function to judge and navigate the sea conditions on their own, so the job of the ship officer who operates it changes. The educational curriculum to nurture ship officer with the ability to operate and manage autonomous ships must also be changed. This study aimed to develop the curriculum for training autonomous ship officer by using the Delphi survey method suitable for predicting the uncertain future. Among the current 61 subjects for training ship officer identified in the Delphi survey, 32 subjects with high importance should be maintained in the training for autonomous ship officer, and subjects with low importance should be abolished or integrated into other subjects. These subjects were collectively referred to as 'general courses'. The expert panel of the Delphi survey suggested 42 items as new subjects, with 18 items of 'high', 14 items of 'middle', and 10 items of 'low'. Through in-depth analysis of these items by experts, 27 subjects were adjusted and three courses were proposed : 1)'Basic course(10 courses)' for developing basic capabilities such as basic theories for understanding advanced technology and information applied to autonomous ships, 2)'Job course(10 courses)' for practical competency directly related to autonomous ship operation, 3)'Intensive course(7 subjects)' for fostering land remote operators of autonomous ships. Since the introduction and spread of autonomous ships will progress rapidly, research to develop and supplement autonomous ship pilot training courses should be continued by reflecting the level of autonomous navigation of autonomous ships.

In recent years most of large-sized merchant ships have been equipped with a high-voltage system. The ships demanding a lot of electric power adopt the high voltage such as 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV. Gradually as the high voltage system is increased in the ships, engineering officers are more opportunities to operate the high voltage system. So the high voltage training for engineering officers was established in the STCW 1978 as amended by the Manila Amendments in 2010. According to this convention when the engineering officers want to board the high voltage ships on and after January 1 in 2017, they must take the high voltage training. This paper, firstly, analyzes the content of high voltage training in STCW convention and IMO model course. In addition, it reviews the parts need to be considered in the content of the high voltage training. Finally this paper proposes the contents of training model divided into theory and practice.

Seasickness not only makes persons on board vessels to vomit but also causes vertigo, headache, sleepiness, fatigue, lethargy and other discomforts. This ailment leads to disturbance of biorhythm and decline of perception which would eventually cause reduction of situational awareness among ship's operators that leads to marine accident. This study is about the sensitivity of people onboard ships to seasickness and focused on deck or navigation officer cadets(apprentice officers) and engine officer cadets(apprentice engineers) who have no previous experiences on board. It is conducted by using motion sensor that can measure ship's X, Y, Z-axis motions and through the questionnaire survey, and evaluated each students' degree of seasickness symptoms. Through this study, in same circumstance, we have known that there are different degrees of motion sickness for wheel house worker and engine room worker, It also confirmed that seasickness have high relationship with degree of hull motion and also, with cycle of hull motion. In addition, we have confirmed that Z-axis hull movement has higher relationship with seasickness than X-axis and Y-axis hull movements. This study aims to initiate additional researches about X-axis and Y-axis of the ship's motion which it expects to greatly enhance safety of wheelhouse and engine room personnel, ship's livability and comfortable sailing.

Marine accidents and legal violations result from mistakes and negligences of ship officers, deck officers and engine officers, during the ship navigation and lay days. Due to these accidents and violations, these officers are subjected to disciplinary actions for certification. The disciplinary action, namely certificate punishment is carried out by right rules, processes and equity. However, it is revealed that present situations are different from the principles. For the purpose of finding current states relating to certificate punishment, this study examines and analyses 737 punishment cases, accomplished in 'B' regional office of oceans & fisheries for 5 years from 2014 to 2018. The contents to be analyzed are reprimand agencies, certificate kinds, officers ranks at that time, disciplinary level, violated acts, annual reprimand state, punishment rule and it process, and disciplinary reduction levels. From such valuations various problems, such as disciplinary level deviations among laws, insufficient punishments rules, disciplinary certificate deviation, insufficient reprimand reduction rules, and lack function of crew administrative disciplinary council, are identified. Finally, methods to alleviate the problems identified will be proposed. This study, for the first time analyses the actual administrative disciplinary cases for ship officers'certificates and proposes improvement plans for its incorporation in Korea, This analysis will be useful in the examination of the study for the ship officers and making a plan for them.

To minimize occupational noise induced hearing loss, it is recommended that workers should not be exposed to noise levels exceeding 85 dBA for over 8 h. In the present study, noise exposure levels were measured for seven workers based on their tasks on a training ship. The A-weighted noise exposure level (L_ex,24h) was measured by taking into account the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound level (L_Aeq,i), duration (h) and noise contribution (L_ex,24h,i) from the workers' locations. Results are thus obtained for different job categories as follows: officer group L_ex,24h=56.1 dB, navigation crew L_ex,24h=58.9 dB, navigation cadet L_ex,24h=62.0 dB, ship's cook L_ex,24h=64.3 dB, engine cadet L_ex,24h=91.1 dB, engineer L_ex,24h=91.1 dB, and engine crew L_ex,24h=95.1 dB. It was determined that the engineers, engine crews, and engine cadets in charge of machinery must wear hearing protection devices. By wearing hearing protection devices when working in highly noisy engine rooms, it is estimated that the noise expose levels could be reduced by the following amounts: engineer L_ex,24h=23.1 dB, engine Crew L_ex,24h=24.4 dB, and engine cadet L_ex,24h=21.5 dB. Moreover, if the no. 2 lecture room and mess room bottom plates in the cadets accommodations were improved to the 64 mm A-60-class floating plates, then further reductions are possible as follows: navigation cadet L_ex,24h=4.3 dB and engine cadet L_ex,24h=1.8 dB.
