VTS service results from VTS watchman's mind as all other human conducts. Psychological motivations are divided into 4 factors ; collective unconscious, fear, responsibility, humanity. These motivations are beginning of VTS. Motivations awaken watchman and effect all other steps of service. Out of these motivations, higher factors ; responsibility and humanity act very positively and can be best solution for safety of vessel traffic ; the purpose of coastal VTS. Therefore, VTS officers should be educated to build up these virtues in their mind.

Hebei Spirit Oil Spill that happened in 2007 had prompted the need of revisiting the coastal safety. In response to this, Korea had made an effort to implement VTS in every coastline in the country. There are a lot of theoretical studies on VTS function nowadays, but coastal VTS are less frequently studied. In this paper, performance analysis results and accident prevention activities of Jindo Coastal VTS center were summarized and the Coastal VTS function are investigated. Jindo Coastal VTS covers relatively wide area and various places with various maritime traffic characteristics are the major navigation vessels, which means that it is important to control these vessels. Since the probability of accidents due to human error is relatively high in coastal area due to negligence tendency of crews during coastal area navigation, coastal VTS has to provide sufficient assistance to navigating vessels. Like most harbour VTS, Coastal VTS provides not only main information service, navigational assistance and traffic organization services but also various services related with advanced search-and-rescue assistance, marine national security, maritime crime prevention, oil spill response, traffic services for non-service vessel, and safety supervision for water leisure boats.

선박통항이 빈번하고 해상 교통밀도가 높아 해양사고가 빈번한 서남해역의 해상교통안전에 기여하고자 진도 연안VTS 센터를 구축, 2006년 7월 19일 개국식을 갖고 본격적인 운영을 하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 진도 연안VTS 관제범위내 주변환경과 항행 위해요소 분석, 교통실태 관측조사 및 해양사고 분석을 통한 해상교통환경평가를 실시하여 진도 연안VTS 관제범위내 해상교통시스템 개선을 위한 항행 위해요소를 제시한다
