Objectives: To obtain audiologic basic data to diagnose the noise induced hearing loss of workers in fisheries. Methods: The charts of the referred fishermen with noise induced hearing loss from November 2022 to February 2023 at a general hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, auditory brainstem response test and auditory steady state response test were conducted. Results: All of them were men over 60 years of age, and the average duration of exposure to noise was 38.9 ± 10.8 years, and the average symptom duration of hearing loss was 13.4 ± 4.3 years. Although the hearing thresholds in the high frequencies were higher than thresholds in the low frequencies, the audiogram showed a down-sloping pattern without rebound at 8 kHz. 10.5% of the cases had thresholds greater than 75 dB in high frequencies, but 57.9% had thresholds greater than 40 dB in low frequencies. Other hearing test results of fishermen were similar to those of general noise-induced hearing loss. Conclusions: Although the fishermen were exposed to noise for a long time, they recognized hearing loss late. The hearing threshold in lower frequencies of the fishermen was higher than expected. Further studies will be needed to analyze the audiologic characteristics of noise-induced hearing loss of the fishermen after confirming noise exposure by conducting a survey on the working environment, such as the noise level and working hours.

어선의 해양사고 중 가장 많이 발생하는 충돌사고의 경우 선박 운항자의 졸음 등의 이유로 경계를 소홀이 하여 발생하는 경우와 어로 작업 중 접근하고 있는 상대선을 발견하고도 어로 작업 특성상 조종성능이 극도로 제한되어 적절한 피항 동작을 하지 못하여 발생한 경우가 대부분이며 이는 성어기의 어선 조업 특성상 선박의 조종업무를 수행할 수 있는 선장의 업무과중에 의한 피로누적과 어로 작업 특성상의 조종성능제한에 의해 기인한 것으로 판단되어 동해지방해양안전심판원 관할구역 내에서 주로 행해지는 자망, 채낚기, 기선저인망, 동해구 트롤어업의 조업 형태에 따른 어선 선원의 작업 여건과 각 어업별 어로 작업 중인 선박의 운항 성능에 대해 알아보고 충돌사고 방지를 위한 대책을 제안하고자 한다.

해상 ICT의 발전과 e-Navigation 도입 및 자율운항선 도입에 따라 해상 통신망의 종류와 범위가 확장되고 있고 디지털 항로표지 서비스의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 어선원의 고령화, 해안 배후 단지의 발전에 의한 배후광, 기상여건 및 진보된 선내 항해 장비 사용 미숙 등으로 항로표지의 시각적·전자적 인지력이 저하되어 선박 안전 운항이 담보하기 어려운 상황에서 선박의 운항 상황 및 주변 해역 운항 상황·지리적 여건을 고려한 맞춤형 가상 디지털 항로표지 서비스는 항로표지의 전자적 식별을 용이하게 하고 안전 운항 유도 서비스로 해양 사고 예방에 도움이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 자율운항선 대응을 위한 디지털 항로표지 서비스 및 선박 운항 상황·지리적 여건을 고려한 적극적인 맞춤형 가상 디지털 항로표지 서비스 시스템의 설계방안을 제시하였다.

An analysis of marine accidents that occurred in the last five years, revealed that 77.0 % of all grounding accidents and 66.1% of all marine casualties involved small vessels, which was a very high level relatively. The Mokpo Regional Maritime Safety Tribunal (Mokpo-KMST) inquired on 72 cases of marine accidents in 2021, of which 10 cases were grounding accidents. Furthermore, eight cases of grounding accidents occurred in small fishing vessels. This study analyzed eight cases of grounding accidents on small fishing vessels that inquired in the jurisdictional area of Mokpo-KMST in 2021. I found out that this grounding occurred in clear weather with good visibility (2-4 miles) and good sea conditions with a wave height of less than 1 meter. Furthermore, I found that the main causes of grounding were drowsy navigation due to fatigue, neglect of vigilance, neglect of checking ship's position, overconfidence in GPS plotter, and lack of understanding of chart symbols and tidal differences. To reduce grounding accidents of small fishing vessels, I suggested the following measures. First, crew members who have completed the able seafarer training course on bridge watchkeeping should assist to the master. Second, alarm systems to prevent drowsiness should be installed in the bridge. Third, the regulation should be prepared for the performance standards and updating GPS plotter. Finally, the skipper of small vessels should be trained periodically to be familiar with chart symbols and basic terrestrial navigation.

In this paper, collision analysis is carried out between two FRP fishing boats. A computer simulation with finite element method is used to accomplish this objective. At first, a detailed geometric model of the boat is constructed using 3-D CAD program. The formation of a finite element from a geometric data of the boats is carried out using HYPERMESH that is the commercial software for mesh generation and post processing. Twelve collision configurations are established by combining two kinds of contact angle($90^{\circ},\;135^{\circ}$) and three different speed(5, 10, 15knot) for small and large boats. Collision analysis is accomplished using DYNA3D. Stress distribution and deformation shape are investigated for each collision condition. In general, $90^{\circ}$ collision angle generate larger stress than $135^{\circ}$ case and the collision for two moving boats showed larger maximum stress than the case that one is moving and the other is stationary. When analysis is carried out until 150ms contact parts of two boats are broken for 10 and 15knot collision speed, in which maximum stress is larger than ultimate strength of the material.

Deep-sea fisheries in Korea play an essential role in supplying popular seafood and providing food security. Countries, as well as the IMO (International Maritime Organization), have attempted to establish an internationally harmonized safety standard for fishing vessels. However, starting with the adoption of 'The Torremolinos International Convention for the Safety of Fishing Vessel 1977', the '2012 Cape Town Agreement' was adopted, but the requirements for enforcement were not met. However, with the 2019 Torremolinos Declaration, the effect of the agreement became visible. Korea is also about to ratify the agreement, and deep-sea fishing vessels are subject to the agreement. The length of the hull or the gross tonnage can be selected as the criteria for applying the 2012 Cape Town Agreement, and this is also partially applied to the existing vessels. Analyzing 188 deep-sea fishing vessels registered as members of the Korea Overseas Fisheries Association to confirm the effect on the existing vessels showed that the application of gross tonnage had little impact on the ratification of the agreement. In addition, laws must be revised for the compulsorization of GMDSS facilities such as two-way VHF and radar transponders and for the safety familiarization of fishermen. In the industry, the facilities required by the agreement must be provided, and the fishermen must be familiarized with safety.

지구온난화에 따른 우리나라 주변 환경의 변화와 최근 중국 불법 어선의 연근해 어업 자원의 고갈 등으로 인해 우리나라 연근해 어족자원을 보호할 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 지속 가능한 어업을 위해서는 어획물의 종류와 양을 정확히 파악하고 불법 어업에 대한 철저한 감시 및 관리가 필요하다. 이러한 시공간적으로 다양하게 변하는 생태 및 어장 환경 정보와 선박에 대한 정보를 통해 해양관측과 위성 원격탐사를 동시에 이용함으로써 근해와 원양 생물자원 실태를 관측하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 NOAA-20 위성의 VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) DNB (Day & Night Band) 영상을 기반으로 추정한 야간 불빛 자료를 활용하고자 한다. DNB 불빛 영상은 낮은 조도의 불빛을 감지하여 그 정보를 보여 준다. 야간 불빛 자료에 포함된 구름 부분을 마스킹하기 위해 NASA의 신규알고리즘이 적용된JPSS-JRR-CloudMask 기술을 이용하였다. 이번 연구에서는 구름의 영향이 없는 날짜를 선별한 후 AIS 정보에서 어선의 정보를 추출하여 검증 자료로 사용하였다. 실제 선박의 정보를 이용한 위성 불빛 자료의 검증을 통해 위성자료의 신뢰성을 확보하고 향후 불빛과 선단 규모의 상관관계 분석 및 어선의 분포 경향 분석을 통하여 우리나라의 어장환경 분석에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

This paper reports the hull form development and resistance performance of a 5-ton-class catamaran-type coastal fishing boat. The weight estimation and preliminary design were basically extracted from existing coastal fishing vessels. In addition, the resistance performance was investigated using a model test in a high-speed circulating water channel and was analyzed in comparison to an existing catamaran fishing vessel. As a result, the modified hull achieved an approximately 30% reduction in resistance compared to the previous hull. The stability or boarding sensitivity of the modified hull form was more stable or comfortable than the original hull form based on a trim and sinkage comparison between the two boats.
