The International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) utilizes a questionnaire to investigate the status of Aids to Navigation (AtoN) around the world. However, results of the IALA questionnaire have limited use because respondent understanding is inconsistent. In addition, there is uncertainty regarding the appropriateness of the questionnaire content. Furthermore, the overall response rate is low. Therefore, the status of AtoN is not clearly understood. AtoN data from around the world are generated hourly. Thus, big data solutions are required to effectively exploit the information. Digitization of analog data is an important component of building big data. Hence, the IALA has developed a Maritime Resource Name (MRN) scheme and an information exchange standard. Here, we used the AtoN information exchange standard and designed an S-201-based big data construction process that could collect and manage global AtoN information. In this study, construction of an IALA AtoN portal was proposed as the core of the construction of the AtoN big data. The process was divided into three stages. IALA AtoN portal is developed by IALA with the goal to provide various meaningful statistical analysis results based on AtoN data while managing AtoN information around the world based on S-201. If an AtoN portal capable of constructing S-201-based big data is developed, then a data collection and storage system that can gather basic S-201 AtoN data from the IALA and global AtoN management agencies could be achieved. Furthermore, insightful statistical analysis of AtoN status worldwide and changes in manufacturing technology will be possible.

The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities(IALA) model course recommends specific aspects of basic curriculums for Vessel Traffic Services(VTS) operator education such as modules, course hours, contents, etc. Most domestic training programs for newly appointed VTS operators comply with such recommendations. The objective of this study is to determine whether such modules for VTS operator training recommended by the current IALA model course correspond to the actual opinions of VTS operators who are currently working in the field. To this end, the relative importance of basic modules for vessel traffic services operator training was analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method. A questionnaire was designed to include 8 modules recommended by the IALA model course, and the survey results of 52 individuals working at 5 VTS centers were analyzed. The result showed that, unlike the assumption by the IALA, domestic VTS operators viewed Nautical Knowledge as the most important modules, followed by Emergency Situations, Traffic Management, Language, Equipment, VHF Radio, Communication Co-ordination, and Personal Attributes, in that order.

e-navigation은 2006년부터 국제해사기구(IMO, International Maritime Organization), 국제항로표지기구(IALA, International Association of Lighthouse Authorities), 국제수로기구(IHO, International Hydrographic Organization) 등의 국제기구를 주축으로 한국, 일본, 영국, 노르웨이 및 독일 등 해운선진국에서 활발하게 개발되고 있다. IMO에서는 2012년까지 e-navigation 전략이행 계획 개발을 완료할 예정이며, 이후에는 전략이행 계획에 따라 e-navigation은 이행될 예정이다. 본 연구에서는 e-navigation개발에 대한 국제동향을 파악하고, 그 개발 내용을 분석하였으며, 육상측 e-navigation시스템으로써 중추적 역할을 하게 될 VTS의 발전 전망에 대하여 연구하였다.

The paper deals with the design and implementation of Navigational Aids Training Simulator (VR-NATS) by Virtual Reality (VR). To gave interaction and immersible training situation to the user, prototype VR-NATS was developed based on the object-oriented operating system with 3D objects of navigational aids. Using the VR-NATS we created virtual navigational aids. As results from the assessment tests, students can obtain IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) rules of the navigational aids exactly and quickly comparing with conventional education methods. Thus, we found that he proposed VR-NAT is very effective for the next-generation simulation system.

Based on IALA guidelines, the fundamental requirements of radar system for vessel traffic services are analyzed in this paper. target separation, target position accuracy, target track accuracy of X-band radar and recommended test conditions are analyzed. Also, in order to check if it satisfies the requirement of target position accuracy from IALA guideline, the test is carried out through processing of radar raw image acquired at VTS center.

최근 선박의 연안 선박의 안전사고가 증가함에 따라 기존 항만 중심으로 운영되고 있던 해상교통관제센터의 관제 범위가 연안까지 확대되고 있다. 이에 따라 해상교통관제센타(Vessel Traffic Service Center, VTS) 간에 데이터 교환의 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 국제항로표지협회 IALA(International Association of Lighthouse Authorities, IALA)는 이러한 필요성을 인지하고 해상교통관제센터간 데이터 교환 프로토콜인 IVEF(Inter-VTS Exchange Format)를 제정하였다. 그러나 IVEF 프로토콜 특성상 외부 해상교통관제센터간 데이터가 전송됨으로 데이터 변조등의 위험성이 있다. 하지만 IVEF 프로토콜은 보안 관련 요소들이 미미한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 IVEF 데이터의 무결성을 보장하는 방법을 제안한다.

With the expansion of the shipping and port logistics industry in the 21st century, the traffic density is continuously increased because of the increase in volumes of world sea freight and fleets, as well as the increase in the causes of potential marine accidents, such as ship collisions and stranding. Accordingly, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has requested that the installation and operation of VTS should be applied in areas with high risk of marine traffic, and the request should be included as one of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. In this paper, the fundamental requirements of the radar system for vessel traffic services were analyzed and the analyzing factors were based on the IALA guideline.s This paper also includes results for the requirement and recommendation analysis on detection distance, target separation, and the target position accuracy of X-band radar. Also, to check if it satisfies the requirement of detection distance, range and azimuth separation of small point targets, and target position accuracy from the IALA guidelines, the test was conducted through the radar image acquired at the VTS center, and hence, the validity of the technical performance requirements was confirmed.

In 2017, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted MSC.428 (98), which recommends establishing a cyber-risk management system in Ship Safety Management Systems (SMSs) from January 2021. The 27th International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) also discussed prioritizing cyber-security (cyber-risk management) in developing systems to support Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) operations (IALA guideline on developments in maritime autonomous surface ships). In response to these international discussions, Korea initiated the Korea Autonomous Surface Ship technology development project (KASS project) in 2020. Korea has been carrying out detailed tasks for cybersecurity technology development since 2021. This paper outlines the basic concept of ship network security equipment for supporting MASS ship operation in detailed task of cybersecurity technology development and defines ship network security equipment interface for MASS ship applications.
