The main ports of Korean south sea are exposed to intensive danger as 58.1% of total vessel in Korea waters and 62.9% of total dangerous cargo ships. Therefore, it is required to establish fundamental database to solve numerous issues at the main ports cf the south sea as studying amount of the vessel traffic and their flows into the main ports, and evaluating degree of danger by traffics environmental stress model as analyzing relationships among degree of danger, maritime accident, and number of vessel arriving or departing in the main ports.

The Busan New harbor will be opened by 2011, after which it is expected that the marine traffic volume around this area would Increase significantly and that very large ships such as 12,000 TEU container ships would come into the port. Therefore, it is necessary to build a new ships' routeing by considering these factors. In this paper, environmental circumstances, marine traffics, and the preceding studies have been reviewed and ships' routeing is proposed through experts' opinions and Delphi technique. For the purpose of validation, the proposed ships' routeings are reviewed by several guidelines on the ships' routeing and through simulation studies.

해양사고 예방 또는 해양사고 시 2차 피해 감소를 위한 관점에서 안전수역, 안전항구 및 최적 수리장소의 제공 또는 제공되는 장소까지 안전한 수로의 안내는 해양선진국으로 갖추어야 할 핵심 해사안전 서비스의 하나로 볼 수 있다. Erika호 해양사고와 같은 중대사고로 큰 손해를 겪은 국제사회는 피난처의 중요성을 깨닫고 여러 해를 거친 검토 끝에 피난처의 제공목적, 선장과 구조자의 책임지침 등을 담은 IMO Res. A.949(23) 및 A.950(23)과 같은 피난처 관련 지침을 제정하게 되었다. 이 지침을 바탕으로 덴마크, 미국, 캐나다, 남아프리카에서는 MAS 체제, 잠재적 피난처(PPOR, Potential Places of Refuge), 국가비상계획 포함 등의 방법으로 피난처를 지정하여 활용하고 있었다. 위의 요소들을 고려할 때, 우리나라 연안을 통항하는 선박들에 대한 최적의 피난처를 지정하기 위해서 연안해역 및 항만의 자연환경, 해상 및 기상조건, 과거 해양사고통계 및 분석자료, 항적도 및 교통량 등 해상교통환경의 평가를 위한 기초자료가 수집되어야 한다.

Gamcheon harbor was developed as a multipurpose port to mix processing functions of exclusive piers for bulk cargo such as marine products, domestic cargoes. Since the container terminal was opened in 1997, maximum $40,000\sim50,000$ DWT containership have been incoming and outgoing. However, bemuse the breakwater entrance in Gamcheon harbor is narrow and the crossed vessels are ever-present at breakwater front, marine accident danger is high that grasping traffic characteristics is required in reply. Therefore marine traffic characteristics were analyzed for Gamcheon harbor and Gamcheon approaching waters, included the track and traffic volumes of peak hours period in inbound/outbound and front sea area of the harbor in present.

The IWRAP program (Inland Waterway Risk Assessment Program) is a useful program for risk assessment of a waterway. However, in the basic version, the function which is used to import AIS data is not included. So users have to prepare the data and input to the program manually. And not all waterways have enough statistical data about passing vessels especially in developing countries as Vietnam. This paper studies the development of a program to pre-process AIS data for using the IWRAP Mk2 program basic version. In addition, it provides users basic information about marine traffic in a waterway such as routes layout, number of passages at a gate classified by type, size and time. The developed program, named TOAIS (Total AIS), was successfully used to pre-process AIS data collected in the Vung Tau waterway-Vietnam. As a result, the IWRAP Mk2 program basic version using data pre-processed from TOAIS could effectively assess the risk of collision in this waterway.

This study aims to enhance the effectivity of VTS(Vessel Traffic Service) control by investigating the minimum safe distance between vessel and vessel, vessel and land(obstacle) for the vessel's safe navigation within the VTS control area. In addition, to suggest basic data for the safe navigation, this study has done survey and analysis to each VTS center, and individual on the minimum safe distance to VTS operators of each ports of korea. Through ocean voyage by training ship, Singapore and Malacca strait's congested vessel traffic zone's control distance was compared and investigated the difference on safe distance by the different VTS operators. As a result, there was huge difference of minimum safe distance between the VTS operators belong to the same center. Over all, the port with gentle coastline, like donghae, the safe distance was wider than the other port. On the other hand, port with complex coastline and frequent entry and departure of the vessel, like mokpo, the safe distance was the shortest of all. Therefore, development of module suitable to port's natural conditions and traffic volume's necessity is required, for the operators affiliated to the same VTS center control according to formal method. Lastly, the full discussion by the expert group about establishment of standard control procedure in the future should be considered as well.

Buoys are a necessary component for the safety of vessel traffic. However, if the buoy becomes inoperable from damage and loss, it can have significant impact on vessel traffic safety as well as unexpected budget spending. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of accidental contact by applying the marine traffic assessment index that can reflect the traffic flow in the sea area. First, Busan Port No. 5 fairway, with a high number of buoys and many contact accidents, was set as the sea area for assessment. to investigate the status of accidental contact and evaluate risk of contact accidents based on the IALA Waterway Risk Assessment Programme (IWRAP MkII) and Potential Assessment of Risk Model (PARK Model). As a result, buoys are near the P recautionary Area wherein the traffic flow was complicated by the Masan port vessel and Busan new port vessel, and buoys are near the entrance of the Gadeok waterway, wherein vessels show a pattern of navigation across the fairway and buoys are near the breakwater in the inner fairway were considered as high risk for contact accidents. This study can be used as basic data for establishing an integrated model to evaluate the risk of buoy contact accidents.

Ulsan Port is the biggest base port for liquid cargoes in Korea and is pushing in earnest for the development of the 'Ulsan New Port' and 'Northeast Asia Oil-Hub' to prepare for continuous shipment growth. However, Ulsan is in the situation which the harbour limit and anchorages are narrower than other trading ports and the occurrence probability of marine accidents is very high due to heavy marine traffic. We will find and suggest the plan to enlarge the harbour limit essentially needed to expand anchorages considering the geomorphological features of Ulsan and the volume of marine traffic in this research. For the enlargement of harbour limit needed to expand anchorages, the anchorage area needed for Ulsan New Port was calculated after the quantitative analysis of enlargement range through the mutual comparison of the area of harbour limit and anchorages with berths and the volume of marine traffic. The reasonable type of harbour limit, which is based on the survey by a group of experts, was also determined after the decision of the range of harbour limit to accommodate the relevant anchorages.

Several types of mathematical analysis methods are used for port waterway risk assessment based on marine traffic volume. In Korea, a marine traffic congestion model that standardizes the size of the vessels passing through the port waterway is applied to evaluate the risk of the waterway. For example, when marine traffic congestion is high, risk situations such as collisions are likely to occur. However, a scientific review is required to determine if there is a correlation between high density of maritime traffic and a high risk of waterway incidents. In this study, IWRAP Mk2(IALA official recommendation evaluation model) and a marine traffic congestion model were used to analyze the correlation between port waterway risk and marine traffic congestion in the same area. As a result, the linear function of R2 was calculated as 0.943 and it was determined to be significant. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated as 0.971, indicating a strong positive correlation. It was confirmed that the port waterway risk and the marine traffic congestion have a strong correlation due to the influence of the common input variables of each model. It is expected that these results will be used in the development of advanced models for the prediction of port waterway risk assessment.
