This study suggests improvements for the effective operation of refresher courses by reviewing the target groups for each refresher course, the contents of these courses, the estimated number of delegates for each refresher course and the operation methods of training institutes overseas. Approximately 37,000 people need to complete the maritime safety refresher courses every 5 years. For the convenience of seafarers, it is necessary to reduce the land training by activating and standardizing on-board training recognized by the STCW Convention and promote investment in the training sector to continuously improve the seafarer safety training. It is also necessary to examine ways to improve the difference between the curriculums of the domestic refresher courses and the one of the STCW Convention. In addition, investments in the development of safety training facilities and virtual reality training programs are required in order to provide an environment where seafarers can take safety refresher courses in a timely manner.

This study estimates the demands for safety training courses with reference to research on safety training records, seafarer statistics, target groups for safety training, expiry dates of existing safety courses, seafarer employment rates, the retirement age, etc. These results are compared with the seating capacity of the maritime training institute to analyze the anticipated increase in and convergence of demand can be accommodated. The average annual safety training needs for the next five years according to the Seafarers Act include approximately 10,444 people, and the proper annual seating capacity of the maritime training institute is approximately 7,280 people at present. Thus, in order to respond to an increasing demand for safety training, it is necessary to expand the capacity of the safety training facility.

This study aims to develop the occupational Korean language curriculum for the foreign seafarers working on the Korean coastal vessel. In the recent years, the employment of foreign seafarer has increased significantly to meet the shortage of the Korean seafarers. As the number of the mixed-crew vessels has increased, communication and cross-cultural awareness among different nationalities have emerged as an important issue. Therefore, the foreign seafarers are obliged to undergo Korean language training to help them in adapting to the Korean vessel according to the 'Guidelines of foreign seafarers management'. However, the time for language training is very short, and there are no systematically developed textbooks. Therefore it is essential to develop curriculum and textbooks for foreign seafarers to acquire training in fundamental Korean dialogues for their daily life and work on board. This study was carried out using the DACUM method to draw core tasks from various works and tasks on board. Firstly, the existing Korean language teaching materials for the foreign crew should be analyzed. Secondly, the job analysis committee should be organized based on the analysis. Then, the list of the tasks for the crew through the committee workshop should be prepared. Thereafter, a questionnaire survey should be carried out to identify the level of importance and frequency by the seafarers working on the coastal vessel. Finally, the core curriculum of the Korean language should be developed for foreign deck crews.

In line with the transformation of the shipping industry, the number of mixed-manning ships is on the rise - bringing foreign sailors aboard with their local sailors. During on-board work, a culture is formed according to mixed-manning, which leads to changes in on-board living environment. This causes various problems such as communication problems, and lack of education and training. In order to identify and solve problems caused by mixed-manning, this study presented a plan for systematic education of foreign seafarers. The officials in charge of the affairs of foreign sailors conducted questionnaire surveys at various shipping lines. The questionnaire survey results were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistic 26 program. Three improvement measures were proposed to solve the problems after identification of the types of education, education methods, and problems of foreign employees. This study revealed that it is imperative to systematize related education of foreign seafarers based on the results of the survey.

In line with the United Nations' Action Plan for the First and Second World Programme for Human Rights, countries around the world are making efforts to strengthen and develop human rights education through voluntary participation and improvement of the legal system. South Korea is also trying to spread human rights education under the leadership of the National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea, but there has been no significant progress so far. Moreover, it has failed to pay close attention to the human rights issues of seafarers on board. This study identified the phenomenological problems based on an analysis of domestic and international literature, and of cases of violation of seafarers' human rights. It utilized the interactivity research method to create an educational environment for improving the human rights situation of seafarers on board mixed-nationality crew vessels. In doing so, the research suggests the introduction of human rights education for seafarers and the implementation of a human rights education program in designated educational institutions as fundamental solutions to the human rights issues of seafarers, as these have been pointed out as the main cause of conflicts in mixed-nationality crew vessels.

Seafarer sea survival training, such as basic safety refresher training and advanced safety refresher training, in accordance with the STCW Convention, is an indispensable program that can increase the crew survival rate during emergency situations at sea. It is important for crew members to carry out theoretical and practical training with various safety equipment in order to effectively train according to IMO model courses. Therefore, this study suggests the following measures to improve safety training facilities for seafarers by reviewing survival training requirements based on the IMO model course and comparing and analyzing related facilities based on operating cases from domestic and overseas training institutes. First, it is necessary to establish a training environment where seafarers can practice utilizing various, updated safety equipment such as marine evacuation equipment (slides, chutes, etc.). Second, it is necessary to construct an educational environment in which learners can directly or indirectly experience realistic emergency situations by installing marine environment simulation facilities with such equipment as a wave generator, rain fall device, wind generating device, etc. Third, it is also necessary to develop and expand customized training using virtual reality equipment in addition to experiential training, audiovisual training and simulation training.

국제해사기구(International Maritime Organization, IMO)에서 해양안전과 환경보호를 위해 국제규범들을 도입 및 시행 중에 있다. 그러나, 크고 작은 해양사고는 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 인명사상, 환경오염을 유발하는 심각한 선박사고는 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 이에, 인적요인 역할 강화를 위해 IMO에서는 선원교육훈련 지침의 개발을 결정하였다. 본 연구에서는 동 지침의 개발을 위한 주요 고려사항들과 해양사고사례에 얻은 교훈의 효과적인 활용을 위해 IMO의 다양한 인적요인관련 국제지침들과 교육 요령 등을 분석하여, 적절한 교육기법 및 프레임워크를 제시하였다.

다국적 선원으로 구성된 선박환경에서 근무하는 선원들에게는 원활한 의사소통을 위한 영어구사능력뿐만 아니라 서로 다른 문화에 적절히 대응하고 융합하는 이문화 커뮤니케이션 능력함양이 절대적으로 요구된다 할 것이다. 특히 필리핀, 중국, 인도, 일본, 인도네시아, 한국, 미얀마를 비롯한 아시아 선원들이 전 세계 선원시장에서 차지하는 비중이 50%에 달하는 점과, 이들 국가들이 영어를 모국어로 사용하고 있지 않은 점을 고려할 때, 아시아 지역 선원들에 대한 해사영어 교육훈련의 중요성은 아무리 강조하여도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 아시아해사영어교육센터에 대한 구성과 역할 및 향후 추진방향 등을 제시하고자 한다.
