해양사고의 원인을 파악하기 위해 해양사고 관련자의 특성(연령별, 해기면허별)을 분석해보면, 상급 항해사가 관련된 사고는 33.5%이며, 하급 항해사가 관련된 사고는 64.1%로 항해사의 급수별로 해양사고 관련 비율에 차이가 있으며, 특히 하급 항해사가 관련된 해양사고의 비율이 상급 항해사와 비교할 때 상대적으로 높았다. 이러한 하급해기사 면허 소자자의 경우 그 동안 상급 해기사 면허 소지자에 비해 해기교육을 이수할 기회가 적었으므로, 기초적인 부분에 대한 교육이 먼저 이루어져아 할 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로, 이러한 기초적인 부분에 대한 교육을 수행할 수 있는 사무실 환경에 보급이 가능한 보급형 시뮬레이션 시스템 개발이 필요하다. 이에, 하급 항해사의 과실에 의해 발생되는 사고를 줄일 수 있도록 비교적 영세한 해운업체에도 보급이 가능한 하급 해기사 평가용 시뮬레이션 시스템을 개발하였다.

Marine accidents and legal violations result from mistakes and negligences of ship officers, deck officers and engine officers, during the ship navigation and lay days. Due to these accidents and violations, these officers are subjected to disciplinary actions for certification. The disciplinary action, namely certificate punishment is carried out by right rules, processes and equity. However, it is revealed that present situations are different from the principles. For the purpose of finding current states relating to certificate punishment, this study examines and analyses 737 punishment cases, accomplished in 'B' regional office of oceans & fisheries for 5 years from 2014 to 2018. The contents to be analyzed are reprimand agencies, certificate kinds, officers ranks at that time, disciplinary level, violated acts, annual reprimand state, punishment rule and it process, and disciplinary reduction levels. From such valuations various problems, such as disciplinary level deviations among laws, insufficient punishments rules, disciplinary certificate deviation, insufficient reprimand reduction rules, and lack function of crew administrative disciplinary council, are identified. Finally, methods to alleviate the problems identified will be proposed. This study, for the first time analyses the actual administrative disciplinary cases for ship officers'certificates and proposes improvement plans for its incorporation in Korea, This analysis will be useful in the examination of the study for the ship officers and making a plan for them.

국제해사기구의 MSC 98차 회의에서 새로운 도출 의제로 MASS(Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships)가 포함됨에 따라 선박 자동화와 무인화는 해상분야의 국제적인 이슈로 떠올랐다. 유럽의 선급과 연구소 및 제조사 등은 선박자동화의 수준을 다양하게 정의하고 있으나 기술요소와 시스템을 기반으로 하고 있어 선원의 역할과 교육분야에 대한 고려는 반영되어 있지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 자동화 수준에 따라 항해사 또는 육상관리자에게 요구되는 해기능력을 식별하여 각 면허에 대한 적용안과 교육 및 양성에 필요한 기초연구 자료를 제시하고자 한다. 선박 자동화 수준에 대한 다양한 정의를 조사하고, 현재 항해사 및 선장 에게 요구되는 STCW 해기능력을 항목화 하였다. 선박의 자동화와 원격운항의 적용에 따라 제외되거나 추가적으로 요구되는 해기능력을 식별하고 자동화 수준별로 분류하였다. 제시된 해기능력과 면허의 구분에 대한 안을 기반으로 업계와 해기교육기관 전문가들의 검토를 통해 선박자동화와 인적요소에 대한 자동화 수준의 명확한 정의가 필요할 것이다.

Maritime Autonomous Surface ships(MASS) are gradually gaining importance. Until fully autonomous ships are developed, they will likely be controlled by remote operators who are based in a Remote Operations Center. However, there is currently no internationally or domestically established licensing for them. This issue can potentially pose a risk to navigation safety due to operations being handled by unqualified remote operators. We conducted a literature review and proposed criteria for the adoption of a licensing system for remote operators. We have futher offered alternatives to integrate this license into the existing officer licensing system, and analyzed them using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Subsequently,, theprimary need to enact legislation for remote operators is observed. The most preferred approach is to include the occupation of a remote operator in the Ship Officer Act, Article 4: Occupational Categories and Class of Licenses. Therefore, it would be logical for the organizational structure of the Remote Operation Center to mirror the traditional Bridge Resource Management. This study will contribute to the efficient training of remote operators and the safe navigation of autonomous ships with a focus on human resource management.

This paper investigates the mandatory minimum requirements for certification of officers in charge of a navigational watch on ship specified in the international convention of STCW. The training education and evaluation systems for navigational competence of Korean navy were compared and analyzed. The paper suggests adjustment of the evaluation range, increment of evaluation items, diversification of evaluation types, differentiation of certification-related education by officer's commissioning program in order to improve the PQS system.

The Republic of Korea has a more rapidly aging society than any other country in the world. In order to prepare for the attendant challenges, this research provides basic data for policies related to aging ship officers, analyzing the relationship between elderly ship officers and marine accidents. The data used here spans 11 years, from 2006 to 2016, and the survey and regression analysis were conducted only on ship officers, excluding crew. As a result of this research, first, it was found that the number of employed ship officers older than 60 has increased 2.7 times over the past 11 years and the range of this increase was larger than for other age categories. Second, the number of elderly ship officers disciplined for marine accidents increased by around 2.6 times. Third, elderly ship officers had around 1.5 times the rate of marine accidents compared to non-elderly ship officers. Fourth, as a result of conducting regression analysis between the number of employed elderly ship officers and the number of officers disciplined, the degree of explanatory power of elderly ship officers for disciplined officials was 75.1%. Since our society will age quickly, policies such as license renewal education for elderly ship officers and regulation enforcing the quality of renewal will be needed.

It is difficult to improve maritime safety in the aspect of human elements without seafarers' job satisfaction. Therefore, through the career development for seafarers from their entries into the job to their retirements, longer and more stable seafarers' life on board ship could be achieved together with maritime safety. This study aims at the establishment of seafarers' career path model and the verification of six hypotheses by using the questionnaire data of 2,830 respondents of students, slip officers and shore-based ex-seafarers. The results of analyses of behavior factors on the career path are as follows; first, it is important to improve educational environment and to provide seafarers with detailed information on seafarer's life; second, economic factors such as income-level and etc. do not play a role in promoting motivation of going to sea; third, the guidance to shore jobs at proper time increases seafarers' job satisfaction and induces longer stay at sea; last, it is necessary to simplify the licence system for seafarers, to allow seafarers to acquire higher class certificates, and to work at higher rank on board ships as early as possible.

This study examined the current status of the number of ships and marine officers in the coastal shipping in order to successfully solve the problem of the shortage of manpower. Then it forecast the number of costal ships by ship size and the demand of coastal marine officers by applying the crew quota of the Ship Personnel Act. In addition, The supply of manpower was predicted using the Markov model, reflecting the number of turnover and retirements by year, as well as the number of new entrants and incomer from ocean-going shipping. As a result of forecasts, the demand for coastal marine officers is forecast to increase from 6,057 in 2023 to 7,079 in 2030, and the supply is forecast to decrease from 5,771 in 2023 to 5,130 in 2030, showing that the manpower of shortage is worsening. This study analyzed the problem of the shortage of lower-level licensed coastal marine officers and objectively forecast the demand and supply of manpower through quantitative analysis. In order to resolve the manpower shortage, it was proposed to expand the training and supply of 5th and 6th grade low-level licensed coastal marine officers. This study will be able to provide useful data to solve the problem of shortage of manpower for coastal shipping.
