  • 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.

  • The company which have deep-sea fishing vessel have to improve their voyage dashboard that was operating by manually to grasp sailing information of fishing vessel. This thesis design sailing information that is ship location on the globe, a catch of fish, and line of longitude and latitude to display on the map more visually by using on-line PC or DID (Digital Information Display). Thesis considered about designing web application which is available to visualize sailing information of 37 deep-sea fishing vessels in operation by using Flash-based RIA technology. This system was improving operator's and administrator's satisfaction of using information because, It make possible not only to grasp status of many vessels in one display but also to monitoring situation and deciding process.

  • Foreign seafarers have embarked on the fishing vessels as industrial trainees since 1990s and the total number of foreign seafarers on merchant ships and fishing vessels marked 21,327 as of the end of 2013. Especially, in case of deep-sea fishing vessels and coastal/inshore fishing vessels, although the number of fishing vessels decreased, the number of foreign seafarers nearly doubled during recent 5 years. Looking at the marine accidents occurred to fishing vessels, after multinational seafarers are joining on board fishing vessels, difficulties in communication among seafarers has become a major issue. And the safety rules which could be understandable by foreign seafarers are not provided and the education and training for foreign seafarers are not properly conducted either. Consequently, the risk of marine accidents during fishing operation on fishing vessels has increased and emergency response under the captain's control was not effective enough to cope with such emergency situation. Several forced labour issues were also reported resulting from abusive words and assault committed by Korean seafarers. Therefore, This study aims first to review the cases of marine accidents on board fishing vessels which foreign seafarers are working and, the problems concerning employment and education for those foreign seafarers, and then to point out the necessity of conducting training on the safety rules and regular emergency drills for the foreign seafarers in order to prevent marine accidents.
