The congestion situation of Korea's port is further inclining due to the number of arriving and departing vessels and increase in the size of the size. Indicators for assessing whether the Vessel Traffic Congestion is called the Marine Traffic Congestion and it is used as a diagnostic entries in the Maritime Traffic Safety Audit System. In the diagnostic system, 6L (longitudinal) X 3.2L (transverse) is used as ship's domain in cases of harbor. This study is to determine the safety distance of the VTS officer and the ship operators by targeting the Busan harbor, which has the most number of ships that arrive/depart in Korea and listen to the communication of the VTS and calculate the communication time of the VTS officer and the ship operators for 7 days. By utilizing the distance communication port, the safety distance between the controllers and the ship operators is derived. It can be used for basic information of VTS Officer and Ship's operator's Safety distance in Busan port's in&out harbor.

The efforts for improving 'Maritime Traffic Safety Assessment Scheme(MTSA scheme)' have continued to the present since May 27th, 2009. But recently, there's a controversy about whether it has been performed properly or the results is significant. These new discussions were arose from lack of validity and appropriateness we had yet to find. At this point, it needs to establish sound MTSA scheme through the comprehensive review. This research developed a suitable meta-evaluation model for MSTA with applying theory of the teta-evaluation, that is the evaluation of evaluations and verified by using meta-evaluation methods like as literature studies, expert reviews, surveys and etc. The results of this study can be used to evaluate MTSA activities and it will contribute to improving MTSA scheme.

Research indicates, about 80% of maritime accidents are caused by human error. Further investigation of the human factors behind maritime casualties is essential in order to establish preventive measures. The main purpose of this study is to identify and analyze human factors behind maritime traffic-related accidents using the m-SHEL model. Since the m-SHEL model used in other fields is based on generic human factors, it has expanded in this study to accommodate ship operating systems and define human factors. In addition, the validity of the expanded model was verified by reliability analysis using SPSSWIN. A classified table for this extended m-SHEL model was then used to analyze human factors behind maritime traffic-related accidents extracted from a written verdict by the Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal. Human factors were arranged in the order L, L-E, L-H, L-m, L-L, and L-S. This paper contributes to the prevention of maritime traffic-related accidents caused by human factors by presenting useful analytical results that can be applied to build a maritime safety management system.

Route Design & TSS(Traffic Separation Scheme} establishment are often used to improve the maritime traffic safety in the heavily congested traffic area. There are several domestic and international route design guidelines, but there is no guideline of TSS design As a result, TSS is usually designed based on the subjective opinions of professionals in this field. Until now, there exist a few papers dealing with the effects of TSS on the reduction of maritime accidents, however, it is hard to find a paper on the design guidelines of TSS. In this paper, TSS design guidelines are proposed based on the quantitative assessment of navigational difficulty felt by mariners, which is expected to improve navigational safety of vessels in congested area.

Route Design & TSS(Traffic Separation Scheme) establishment are often used to improve the marine traffic safety in the heavy waters. There are several domestic and international route design guidelines, but there is no guideline of TSS design. So, TSS is designed by specialist's subjective opinion. Until now, when TSS is designed there are a few paper about the easiness effectiveness of marine accident, but there is no paper to design TSS guideline. This paper proposes the design guideline about TSS to improve the safety of navigation vessel by the quantitative assessment in the viewpoint of mariner.

항만운영전산망(PortMIS)은 항만 내 선박 입출항, 투묘, 양묘, 이동 등 모든 항만운영관련 사항들이 포함된 정보망이다. 하지만 아직까지 VTS등에서 PortMIS 통계자료 활용이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 발표는 PortMIS 통계현황을 분석하고, PortMIS 관제대장 분석을 통해 해상교통안전분야에 활용 가능한 통계분석방법에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 관제대장을 활용하여 제안되는 기능은 시간별, 선박별, 항로 통항량 산출 및 예측기능이다.

해상교통관제는 선박통항의 안전과 항만의 효율성 증대 및 해양환경의 보호에 막중한 기여를 하고 있다. 그러나 시스템과 설비에 대한 투자와 관심의 집중에 비하여 인적요소에 대한 연구와 교육이 다소 소홀하기 쉬운 것이 사실이다. 이에 우리에게도 이미 익숙하고 대중적인 책인 '어린왕자'를 통하여 VTS와 VTS운영자에 대한 인적요인에 대한 접근을 시도함으로써 해상교통관제사가 범하기 쉬운 오류 유형을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 아울러 해상교통관제사에게 필요한 업무적, 사회적 기술을 도출하여 보았다.

항행하는 선박은 자기선박 주변을 하나의 영역으로 생각하여 그 영역안에 타선박의 허가하지 않는 자기만의 영역을 가지고 있다. 지금까지 우리나라에서는 선박간의 항과거리를 일본의 자료를 이용하여 해상교통 환경평가의 하나인 해상교통혼잡도를 평가하고 있다. 이 일본의 자료는 30년전의 자료이며 선박의 고속화${\cdot}$대형화로 인하여 선박간 항과거리는 선박의 통항형태, 항로의 종류, 선박의 크기에 따라 상이할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만, 상기의 모든 요소를 다 가미하여 일반화한 연구는 찾아보기 힘들며 상당한 자료를 이용하여야 하므로 분석하는데 시간이 많이 걸릴 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구에서는 해상교통량이 대단히 높은 중국 상해항을 입출항하는 선박간의 항행거리를 기초로 선박간의 최소 항과거리를 모델화함으로써 우리나라 실정에 맞는 해상교통혼잡도 평가에 이용하고자 하며, 선박운항자들의 항행에 최소 항과거리를 제공함으로써 안전항행에 도움을 주고자 한다.

Since global energy consumption and demand for energy have dramatically risen, a focus on environmental problems and sustainability has become more important. Clean and renewable energy sources such as offshore wind power generation have received attention among new renewable energy options as alternative energy resources. Due to maintenance and operational perspectives, offshore wind farms have been planned for installation in many coastal waters. However, development of offshore wind farms faces interference from existing maritime traffic along the planned areas. In order to safely and effectively govern marine traffic in the vicinity of wind farms and inner areas, standard criteria are suggested to allow vessels to sail the internal waters of offshore wind farm areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish allowable criteria for sailing vessels and safety zones for offshore wind farms by investigating the local regulations of various offshore wind farm cases overseas. The commended inner safety zone of wind farms is proposed to be a distance of 150 % of the rotation diameter of the wind turbine rotor and a distance of 200 m from the outer wind turbine for the outer safety zone. Besides this, the allowable criteria for sailing vessels within a wind farm is proposed to have an air draft of 14.47 m south-west wind farm sea areas for a minimum margin to avoid hull contact through evaluation of the tide and height of a wind turbine. further studies will be needed to establish vessel sailing criteria among adjacent offshore wind farms as well as vessel sailing criteria within a single offshore wind farm.

Establishment and operation of Aids to Navigation in the process of port design, construction and management are crucial factor of maritime safety and collision prevention. According to the IMO SOLAS Chapter 5, regulation 13, the establishment and operation of maritime safety facilities are mandated for the competent authorities. The facilities of Aids to Navigations are moving to a concept of e-Navigation with state-of-the-art technology of radio navigation equipments such as AIS, DGPS and e-Loran from the traditional visual facilities (optics, shape), Although the autonomous maritime traffic system is a new trend, yet the traditional and conventional Aids to Navigation like lighthouses and beacons are still imperative for vessel's safe navigation. In this paper, for decision of service level of maritime traffic facilities to enhance the efficiency of visual navigation system management it was proposed the Aids to Navigation availability as an efficient management system incorporating the whole maritime traffic facilities under one management system. Comparison of foreign level of services and analysis of the theoretical background of them were analyzed and the proposed LOS was applied to Incheon area to evaluate the safety of navigation routes.
