Standard guidelines for marine accident investigation have been prepared through the enforcement of the Casualty Investigation code as of January 2010. In addition, as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) recommended contracting the state to manage a marine incident system established under this code, Korea also has newly established provisions for a marine incident system in the 'Act on the Investigation of and Inquiry into Marine Accidents' also as of 2010. The Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal (KMST) has made a multilateral effort to prevent marine accidents through the efficient operation of a marine incident system, but this system has not been properly activated. This study examines the operational status and problems of a marine incident system and analyzes the marine incident systems of foreign countries and similar transportation agencies such as railroads and aviation. Options include switching to voluntary reporting of marine incidents, transferring responsibility to a non judicial private organization, expanding incentive systems for a marine incidents, revising regulation and preparing detailed implementation guidelines.

최근에 선박충돌사고나 좌초사고와 같은 중대한 해양사고를 조사할 때 사고관련자의 피로도(Fatigue)는 선박의 안전운항에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 인간과실(Human error) 유발요인으로써 항해사의 인지능력 및 업무수행능력을 저하시키는 중요한 요인으로 인식되고 있을 뿐 만 아니라, 이에 대한 많은 조사가 수행되고 있는 것이 각종 연구보고서를 통하여 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 해양사고관련자에 대한 피로도를 체계적으로 조사$\cdot$분석하기 위한 일환으로 미국연안경비대의 피로도 조사프로그램을 토대로 국내 해양안전심판원 웹싸이트에 조사프로그램을 구현하고 그 결과를 고찰하여 효율적인 피로도조사가 이루어질 수 있도록 몇 가지 방안을 검토하였다.

동해지방해양안전심판원 관할구역에서 최근 7년간 발생한 해양사고 중, 어선 선원의 실종 및 사망자는 총 67명이며, 그 중 혼자 승선하여 조업하는 총톤수 5톤 미만의 소형어선에서 발생한 실종 및 사망자는 28명 (4명/년)으로 전체 인명사고의 42%를 차지하고 있으며 총톤수 5톤 미망의 선박은 "선박직원법"의 적용을 받지 않으며 어업을 목적으로 하는 총톤수 5톤 미만의 소형어선의 경우, 선원 혼자 승선하여 조업하는 어선이 대부분인 상황이다. 또한 소형어선은 법정 무선설비를 설치할 의무가 없어 해양사고 즉, 충돌, 침몰, 전복, 실족, 기타 안전사고 등이 발생할 경우 목격자가 없는 경우 구조요청에 큰 어려움이 따르며 이는 곧 인명사고와 직결된다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 우리원 사고 사례를 중심으로 이러한 인명사고를 최소화 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 함.

The marine accident investigation of Korean Marine Safety Tribunal does not keep up with the international rule and guideline. Also there is no manual for a proper investigation into the marine accident. This study analyzed the investigation system and manual of Korea. USA and Japan etc., and proposed the new investigation system and manual of KMST including the inquiry guideline according to the type of marine accident.

Collision accidents happen frequently. The majority of ships involved in collisions in the coastal areas of Korea are middle and small size ships. The proportion of collision accidents is only 9% of all types of marine accidents; however, the number of casualties resulting from collisions is 34.4% of all human life damages. Generally, as reported by the people involved in these collisions, the navigation lights of the opponent ships were poor and invisible when the accident happened even though the weather and visibility were good. Furthermore, there are many insistences for poor navigation light conditions of the opponent ship in the bay or harbor. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the present conditions and safety of navigation lights. Therefore, in this study, we examined the rules and books of navigation lights and compared it to that of other transportation systems, such as aircraft, trains, and road vehicles. Furthermore, we analyzed the current marine traf ic circumstances and ship collision accidents that happened in the past 5 years. Additionally, a questionnaire was prepared to gather the opinion of ship experts and secure the objectivity for improvement methods of navigation lights. Finally, methods to improve the navigation lights on ships were devised.

개항질서법은 2011년 6월 15일 개정되어 같은 해 9월 16일 발효되었다. 개정 개항질서법은 적용범위를 개항의 항계 안에서 항계 밖의 항로 및 정박지 등 수역시설까지 확대하였고, 또한 잡종선의 정의를 우선피항선으로 개정하고 우선피항선을 기존의 잡종선에 항내역무선을 포함시켜 정의하였다. 이 글은 우선피항선의 정의와 항법에 대해 살펴보고, 기존 해양안전심판원에서 재결한 해양사고 사례를 통해 개정 개항질서법의 내용과 비교, 검토하였으며, 우선피항선의 정의 및 항법에 대한 개정의견을 제시하고 있다.

The Marine Accident Investigation and Tribunal System is intended to provide a credible solution to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents. When a marine accident occurs, the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal seeks to find its root causes through an analysis of what provoked the accident. It also contributes to the development of safety policies or practices by making a decision based on the findings. However, if the decision presented as the root cause of a marine accident is ambiguous or unclear, it may be difficult to achieve its intended goal. Hence, if we read some of the decisions of the Maritime Safety Tribunal, it is selective to directly apply the cause of an accident as a source of the measures that can prevent its recurrence. A typical example of this is the expression: "when a seafarer neglects ordinary practice of seaman." The term "ordinary practice of seaman" has been criticized for being used in some decisions like a master key where it is not easy to determine which specific rules or regulations were violated or blame the involved seafarers. Such term is present in Article 2 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972. For the proper use of the term, this paper seeks to compare and establish the concepts of "ordinary practice of seaman" and the duty of care by providing a systematic interpretation of the original text. In addition, the duty of care was reviewed from the perspective of administrative, civil, and criminal laws. Furthermore, relevant legal precedents were reviewed and presented in the study. Accordingly, it is expected that the term "ordinary practice of seaman" would be properly used in decisions that contribute to the prevention of the recurrence of similar marine accidents.

The global surge in maritime traffic has resulted in an increased number of ship collisions, leading to significant economic, environmental, physical, and human damage. The causes of these maritime accidents are multifaceted, often arising from a combination of crew judgment errors, negligence, complexity of navigation routes, weather conditions, and technical deficiencies in the vessels. Given the intricate nuances and contextual information inherent in each incident, a methodology capable of deeply understanding the semantics and context of sentences is imperative. Accordingly, this study utilized the SentenceBERT model to analyze maritime safety tribunal decisions over the last 20 years in the Busan Sea area, which encapsulated data on ship collision incidents. The analysis revealed important keywords potentially responsible for these incidents. Cluster analysis based on the frequency of specific keyword appearances was conducted and visualized. This information can serve as foundational data for the preemptive identification of accident causes and the development of strategies for collision prevention and response.

Maritime safety and marine environmental protection are the most important topic in marine society. But, so many marine accidents have been occurred with the development of marine transportation industry. On the other side, ship is being operated under a highly dynamic environment and many factors are related with ship's collision Nowadays, the increasing tendency to the human errors of ship's collision is remarkable, and the investigation of the human errors has been heavily concentrated. This study analysed on the human errors of ship's collision related to the negligence of lookout and classified basic error type using GEMS(Generic Error Modeling System) dynamic model.

As the modern maritime industry rapidly progresses through technological advancements, data processing technology is emphasized as a key driver of this development. Natural language processing is a technology that enables machines to understand and process human language. Through this methodology, we aim to develop a model that predicts the proportions of outcomes when entering new written judgments by analyzing the rulings of the Marine Safety Tribunal and learning the cause-providing ratios of previously adjudicated ship collisions. The model calculated the cause-providing ratios of the accident using the navigation applied at the time of the accident and the weight of key keywords that affect the cause-providing ratios. Through this, the accuracy of the developed model could be analyzed, the practical applicability of the model could be reviewed, and it could be used to prevent the recurrence of collisions and resolve disputes between parties involved in marine accidents.
