There are two different groups of vessels which have a duty to avoid the other vessel in the Collision Regulations； one is a vessel to keep out of the way and the other is a vessel not to impede the passage. The definition and duty of a vessel not to impede was clarified by IMO＇s adoption of rule 8(f) of 1972 COLREG in 1987 revision. However, the Korean government has not inserted rule 8(f) of 1972 COLREG into Korean national collision regulations to date and so the definition and application for a vessel not to impede has not been discussed in even academic circle. Recently Korean Supreme Court rendered a verdict on a collision case involved with a vessel not to impede. The writer expresses his view on the duty of a vessel not to impede and criticizes the Supreme Court's judgment, consulting with foreign scholar's article and the relevant IMO's papers.

Since global energy consumption and demand for energy have dramatically risen, a focus on environmental problems and sustainability has become more important. Clean and renewable energy sources such as offshore wind power generation have received attention among new renewable energy options as alternative energy resources. Due to maintenance and operational perspectives, offshore wind farms have been planned for installation in many coastal waters. However, development of offshore wind farms faces interference from existing maritime traffic along the planned areas. In order to safely and effectively govern marine traffic in the vicinity of wind farms and inner areas, standard criteria are suggested to allow vessels to sail the internal waters of offshore wind farm areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish allowable criteria for sailing vessels and safety zones for offshore wind farms by investigating the local regulations of various offshore wind farm cases overseas. The commended inner safety zone of wind farms is proposed to be a distance of 150 % of the rotation diameter of the wind turbine rotor and a distance of 200 m from the outer wind turbine for the outer safety zone. Besides this, the allowable criteria for sailing vessels within a wind farm is proposed to have an air draft of 14.47 m south-west wind farm sea areas for a minimum margin to avoid hull contact through evaluation of the tide and height of a wind turbine. further studies will be needed to establish vessel sailing criteria among adjacent offshore wind farms as well as vessel sailing criteria within a single offshore wind farm.

Marine traffic management could be defined as the implementation of managerial technical measures to improve vessel traffic safety. The managerial elements of vessel traffic management for ports and harbours or narrow channels include the total amount of traffic control, the vessel traffic separation scheme, speed restriction, traffic control by signals, the navigation information service and so forth. This research aims to quantify how much the traffic separation schemes(TSS) contribute to the alleviation effect of ship handling difficulty and to propose a design standard when the individual management measure is applied in an actual waterway. Traffic separation schemes have now been established in most of the major routes and congested waters of the world, and the number of collisions and groundings have often been dramatically reduced. In this part, the relationship between the alleviation of ship handling difficulty and the reduction of encounter figures among ships is quantitatively clarified by applying the ES model. As results of simulation analysis, it is recognized that a traffic separation system is most effective in the case of narrow width and heavy traffic volume. The centre buoy installation reduces about 1/4 of the alleviation of ship handling difficulty, TSS establishment 1/3, and design change to one-way traffic from two-way traffic reduces 1/2.

선박의 운항분포는 교량충돌확률이나 선박충돌위험도 등을 계산할 때 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용하지만, AASHTO모델이나 해상교통안전진단에서의 근접도 평가모델 등 많은 충돌 또는 위험도 계산 모델에서는 선박의 운항분포가 단순한 정규분포임을 가정하고 있다. 따라서 특정 항로나 해역에서의 정확한 충돌, 위험 또는 안전 등에 관한 확률을 구하고자 할 경우에는 그 항로나 해역의 특성에 맞는 선박 운항분포를 사용해야 한다. 이 연구에서는 일주일간의 통항선박 위치정보(AIS정보)를 이용하여 다양한 특성을 가지는 항로별로 각각 고유한 특성의 선박 운항분포를 찾아내기 위해, sech 함수를 이용한 새로운 충돌위험도 평가법에서 피항구역의 문턱값을 결정하는 방법을 분석하고 실제 상황에 적용 가능한 식을 개발하였다.

물동량 증가로 인하여 부산신항에는 극초대형 컨테이너 선박들이 입항하고 있으며 서컨테이너 부두 건설 사업이 완료되면 부산신항 진출입 항로 내 다양한 조우 상황 발생으로 충돌 위험 상황을 초래할 수 있어 선박 통항 안전성 향상 방안 마련을 위하여 부산신항 내 항만 입출항 현황과 해상교통흐름을 살펴보았으며, AHP 기법을 활용하여 위험요소 및 안전대책 식별로 도출된 안전대책을 기반으로 환경 스트레스 모델을 활용하여 해상교통류 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 각 안전대책의 교통 위험도를 파악하였다. 설문조사 및 시나리오 평가 결과, 선박운항자는 일방통행을 위한 진입금지 해역 설정을 가장 중요하게 생각하였으며, 이는 위험도 경감에 큰 효과가 있을 것으로 예상되었다, 본 연구는 부산신항을 입출항 하는 선박들의 통항 안전성 제고를 위한 안전대책 마련의 기반이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Efficient operation of ships can transport cargo to ports safer and faster, and reduce fuel costs. Therefore, in this study, the pattern was analyzed using AIS data of ships passing near Busan Port, a representative port in Korea. The analysis of vessel traffic patterns was approached with a grid-based node generation method, which can be used for research such as optimal route and route prediction.

Gyeongin Ara Waterway will be open on Oct., 2011, Which is the first inland artificial waterway constructed in Korea. There have been arguments about the environmental issues and economic effectiveness, however, it's now time to focus on the safety of navigation at the waterway to protect human life, property and environment. Therefore this paper aims at examining the establishment of the rule of safe navigation and management for the safe and effective management of the waterway and tries to draft the rules based on these examinations. The draft rule consists of 7 chapters, which are general rules, general rules on navigation, specific rules on navigation, general restrictions, emergency response, restrictions on navigation and penalties in consideration of the characteristic of Gyeongin Ara Waterway and regulations on navigation in major canals in the world.

최근 들어서 우리나라는 각종 육해상 건축물 축조에 필요한 모래골재의 육상공급이 한계에 다다르면서 부족한 골재를 인근해역의 해저에서 채취하여 공급하고 있으며, 이에 따른 해저 골재채취 작업수역을 통항하는 선박들의 안전문제가 크게 대두되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 최근에 태안해역의 흑도/가대암 TSS 부근수역에서의 바다골재 채취를 위한 해상교통안전진단 사업을 수행한 내용을 중심으로 주변수역으로 통항하는 선박들의 통항안전성에 대하여 평가한다.

.Ports are usually designed as a dead en port. With an increasing tendency of ship size, the problems such as maneuvering difficulty, turning basin, tugboat fee, etc. are getting to be pointed out. For solving such problem, the conversion of the idea fro dead end port to one-way through port is encourage. To examine the advantage of one-way through port, a quantitative and systematic analyzing procedure is needed. For this, this paper evaluated the preference on the three way of departture using the fuzzy measure and integral model.

The approaching waters of Po-hang port will be increased the traffic volume and passage of larger vessel according to the opening of Young-il new port in 2006. But the adjacent area of Po-hang port still exist the danger elements of safe navigation, the disordered navigation and traffic congestion. Therefore the safety of traffic must be improved in Po-hang vicinity area. This paper describes the status of marine traffic flow and navigational characteristics based on the marine traffic survey using the exclusive software, and the results of marine traffic survey classify into the ship's types and tonnage and track history of passing ships through the statistical method. Finally the examinations of main traffic route, traffic flow and navigational characteristics are discussed, and these results can be utilized the best design of ship's routing at the Po-hang approaching water.
