Since vessel traffic service system was introduced domestically in 1993, the incidence of vessel collision and grounding accidents has been diminished dramatically. However, recently the non-fishing boat incidents frequently occur outside boundary of vessel traffic control zone. Owing to this fact, before expanding and establishing 11 VTS centers all over the country by 2023, Korea Coast Guard has a plan to launch the nation's first researches on Mobile VTS Operation System utilizing Korea Coast Guard's patrol ships so as to devise practical countermeasures about those incidents.
