This paper provides a study on the application and proposals of safety culture, new public management and social amplification of risk framework via ship accidents in Korea. This document analyzes what are the concept of safety culture, new public management as well as social amplification and risk framework and describes how 3 issues act, harmonize, interrelate through M/V Sewol accident. Korean government is needed to apply social amplification of risk framework to the in order to promote the safety culture in the maritime administration. Hence, this paper proposes safety framework in order to prevent and resolve future unexpected accident especially for maritime field.

The Korean government has introduced and enforced maritime traffic safety assessment to secure traffic safety since 2010. The maritime traffic safety assessment is needed by law to design a new port or modify an existing one. According to Korea Maritime Safety Act, in the assessment the propriety of marine traffic system consists of the safety of channel transit and berthing/unberthing maneuver, safety of mooring, and safety of marine traffic flow. The safety of channel transit and berthing/unberthing maneuver can be evaluated only by ship-handling simulation. The ship-handling simulation is carried out by sea pilots working with the port concerned. The vessel's proximity measure is an important factor to evaluate traffic safety. The proximity measure is composed of vessel's closest distance to channel boundary and probability of grounding/collision. What is more, the probability of grounding becomes important. According to central limit theorem, a sample has a normal distribution on condition that its size is more than 30. However, more than 30 simulation runs bring about the increase of assessment period and difficulty of employing sea pilots. Therefore this paper is to find out minimum sample size for evaluating vessel's proximity. First sample sets of size of 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. are selected randomly on the basis of normal distribution. And then KS test for goodness of fit and t-test for confidence interval are applied to each sample set. Finally this paper decides the minimum sample size. As a result this paper suggests the minimum sample size of 5, that is, the simulation of more than five times.

According to the current status of marine accidents in Korea, the number of accidents is steadily increasing by an approximate average of 8.5% per year, and marine accidents are steadily increasing for ships and structures such as floating barges, tugboats, ferries and floating platforms except for fishing ships. In this study, domestic floating structures were classified according to the type of floating structure, and the regulation system and the scope of the application of floating marine structures were schematically illustrated according to related domestic laws such as the Ship Safety Act, Ship Act and Fishing Management and Promotion Act. In addition, considering the state of the marine environment, it was intended to discover structurally delicate parts and risk factors early in blinded safety spots in applying domestic regulations, and to derive effective improvement measures for the discovered risk factors.

It is provided that seafarers qualified in accordance with STCW(International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers) convention and code in safety training shall be required, every five years, to provide evidence of having maintained the required standard of competence, to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in Chapter VI, section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code A. Every party to the STCW Convention has amended the relevant national regulations according to the above international convention and code. These amended Seaman's Act require the updating safety training which is only five years valid for existing seafarers serving onboard ship on international voyage. And above specified existing seafarers must, as of the 1st January 2017, have documentary evidence of either having completed the training course or updated their training within the last 5 years. In relation to the above international trend, the Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries also has completed an amendment to its Seaman's Act. But, the Korean Seaman's Act has a supplementary provision to exempt the seafarers who have completed STCW advanced safety training from basic safety training. The purpose of this study is to define the problems of above mentioned exemption provisions and to make better policies for improvement. In order to complete the purpose, the research team has conducted an in-depth survey of various foreign cases on STCW safety training. Moreover, the team has suggested an improvement scheme in consonance with Korean shipping industry and society through out this report.

This paper aims to investigated the reasonable objectiveness of trading areas on the Korea Ship Safety Act and to make a regulated proposal of trading areas. To achieve the above mentioned object, we analyzed the existing rules and other related circumstances of maritime fields. On the basis of this viewpoint, this paper was focused on three topics of concern : (1) the relationship between the ship Safety Act and other Maritime Acts. (2) the legislative examples of foreign countries, (3) the reasonable revised reasons of trading areas. In this paper, we proposed following four matters such as (1) the modification of ship's length and speed which are the designative basis of trading areas, (2) the extension of the smooth sea area to limit of territorial seas (3) the extension of the near-coastal area to the coasts of the P.R.C., Japan, the U.S.S.R and the R.O.C ., and rename of its area into the near & greater coastal area, (4) the annulment of greater-coastal area.

In West Africa and Southeast Asia including Somalia, piracy attacks still take place that threaten safety of ships and the lifes of seafarers. In order to protect Korean flag ships and the seafarers on board from piracy attacks, the government of the Republic of Korea established the Act to Prevent Piracy Attacks on International Ships on Dec. 27, 2016. This act legally provides for the establishment of Maritime Security Operatives (MSO) on board ships navigating high risk areas to ensure security. Furthermore, mandated training for MSOs is required to prepare them to carry out their duties effectively. In this paper, a new training course for MSOs according to domestic law is suggested through analysis of IMO documents and the MSO training provided by foreign nations.
