The purpose of this study is to design a proper evaluation method for analysing the safety management efficiency of coastal ship companies, and to verify these evaluation standards by applying them to a representative company. For this purpose, 5 evaluation items and 14 specific sub-evaluation elements have been determined after collecting practical opinions from a group of expert, which consisted of safety managers in passenger ship companies, public servants as a ship inspector, passenger ship operations managers, etc. Next, the safety management levels of 44 coastal passenger ship companies were evaluated using these standards. Finally, the validity of the proposed evaluation method was verified through comparison analysis between the evaluation results and the ratio of major marine accidents. It was determined that companies with low evaluation levels were saw more major marine accidents than other coastal passenger ship companies, spurring greater interest in safety management. In conclusion, evaluation standards allow coastal passenger ship companies to voluntarily assess their safety management level were established. The result can also be applied to analyse the operation efficiency of coastal passenger ship companies.

To meet increasing needs for environmentally sustainable management of coastal area, there has been compelling pressure to establish a cost-effective and long-term coastal water quality (CWQ) monitoring system. A remote CWQ monitoring system, STAMP, has been developed and is in operation along the route between Kyema harbor and Anma Island in the southwestern coastal area of Korea. STAMP uses a PCS phone as a telemetry unit to transmit acquired data for monitoring general water quality parameters, and a routinely operating coastal passenger ship or car ferry. STAMP has various merits of low-cost operations; long-term monitoring with secure instrumentation; and stable real-time telemetry of acquired data with-out the loss and noise. It is expected that the system will serve as a very useful tool in the CWQ managing programs of Korea taking the advantage of many coastal passenger ships in various routes including the ships departing from the coastal industrial cities. The acquired data compiled on suspended surface sediment concentrations (SSSC) will be also valuably helpful in understanding the sediment budget across the routes of the vessel.

This purpose of this study is to identify the Analysis of Safety Control Factor Influenced on the Management of the Costal Shipping Companies. The study selected the analysis of safety control factors performed the Brain-Storming method, Depth Interview and Face-to-Face Interview. This survey targets are 25 experts for the opinions of expert groups with CEO of coastal shipping companies. This study used ISM(Interpretive Structural Modeling)to analyze the safety control factors and understand correlations between factors and found that sufficient acquirement of legal shipping equipment and freight (or passenger) management factors are the safety control factors that give the biggest effect on the management of coastal shipping companies. ISM analysis results are as follows. The factors that most influence the advancement of safety management is ensured the legal faithful to ship equipment. In the future, a survey have to multiple targets and to improve the practical needs by using a FSM (Structural Fuzzy Modelling).
