This paper gives an overview of maritime safety and security systems in china. Law and legislation aspects are introduced. It includes a brief look on governmental structure in maritime safety and security related issues. Designated functions and organizations structure of authorities is described. In the conclusion, new development and outlook of changes in the maritime safety and security systems in China are made.

In general, seafarer's human error is considered to be the preponderant muse for the majority of maritime transportation accidents in a merchant ship. The implementation techniques for Human Error Model (HEM) to assess possible accident risk by deck officers including captain, chief officer, second mate and third mate are described in this study. The scope of this work is focused to 642 deck officers in the ship management company with 130 vessels. At first, HEM can be constructed through the statistical analysis and expert's brainstorming process with human data to 642 deck officers. Then the variables $\upsilon$ for the human factors, the evaluation level EP($\upsilon$) for $\upsilon$, the weight $\alpha$ of $\upsilon$, and the title weight $\beta$ of each deck officers can be decided. In addition, through the analysis of ship's accident history, the accident causation ratios by human error ${\gamma}_H$ and by external error ${\gamma}_B$ can be found as 0.517(51.7%) and 0.483(48.3%), respectively. The correlation coefficients to $\upsilon$ are also shown significant for a 95% confidence interval (p < 0.05) for each coefficient. And the validity of HEM is also surveyed by the analysis of normal probability distribution of risk level RL to each deck officer.

Recently, renewed attention for technological applications within the maritime industry has taken place, particularly regarding unmanned vessels. There has been a lot of interest about the number of projects aiming at testing the operational feasibility of unmanned vessels, particularly in relation to technological, safety and security issues. Nevertheless, no studies have investigated this issue from the point of view of seafarers towards unmanned vessels; this paper aims at filling this gap. Data has been collected through a survey questionnaire. A Pearson correlational coefficient has been used to test the correlation between some of the variables. The results show that more than half of the respondents indicated that unmanned vessels do not contribute to an increase in accidents at sea. In addition, seafarers believe unmanned vessels will not be operational in the near future, with most of the respondents indicating a 10-20 year time frame. Thirdly, most of the respondents(both officers and ratings).

It is very important to salvage the vessel and seafarer rapidly and efficiently when maritime accident occurred, as maritime accident has a bad effect on vessel, seafarer and shipping industry as well as the whole community itself. Especially, marine salvage in relation to the accident involving huge marine pollution and loss of life will be regarded as a more important process because the accident would result more severe damages. However, domestic marine salvage forces are weaker than other country's, and private marine salvage company has poor technical and commercial base even though the Korea Coast Guard and Navy have relatively more modernized equipments and squad. Thus, it is very important to promote marine salvage operation capacity because it is related with the national security as well as the national economy. In this regard, this study examines the promoting method of marine salvage including its public and private section from the perspectives of law and systemic revision.

This study estimates the demands for safety training courses with reference to research on safety training records, seafarer statistics, target groups for safety training, expiry dates of existing safety courses, seafarer employment rates, the retirement age, etc. These results are compared with the seating capacity of the maritime training institute to analyze the anticipated increase in and convergence of demand can be accommodated. The average annual safety training needs for the next five years according to the Seafarers Act include approximately 10,444 people, and the proper annual seating capacity of the maritime training institute is approximately 7,280 people at present. Thus, in order to respond to an increasing demand for safety training, it is necessary to expand the capacity of the safety training facility.

It is naturally to be expected that the stress of seafarers has some specific characters compared to other workers who are labouring on land. Because the physical rigors of working and living at sea has been endured as a part of job. The excessive stress caused by shipboard life, their jobs, can weaken the health status and court the work related accidents. Also it will be the immediate causes of marine accidents such as collision, sinking etc. In this paper, a questionnaire survey was undertaken to find out the approximate quantity and source of seafarer's occupational stress. And the heart rate of deck officers on duty was measured to develop a profile of correlation between the stress and the work.

This study investigated the purpose of commissioned on-board training and the legal basis for the management of commissioned on-board trainees, focusing on the seafarer educational institution belonging to the Ministry of Education, which cultivates merchant mariners. A program was developed based on this research. Despite the legal basis for the management of commissioned on-board trainees, satisfaction with on-board training management has not been high, and the on-board trainee management system of the university was poor. As a result safety accidents among commissioned on-board trainees occurred on ships, and a few students abandoned on-board training. An I.M.S.A.R. model has been developed for safe and systematic management of commissioned on-board trainees, and a base for a human resource management program for commissioned on-board trainees has also been developed. This study is meaningful in that it derived a practical plan for the management of commissioned on-board trainees.

The purpose of this study is to understand the risk of chemical product, Styrene Monomer(SM), shipped in a vessel. SM is harmful chemical product which can make injury, explosion and/or fire in a vessel. The understand of SM risk is very important to protect seafarer's body and vessel safety. This research can be expected that the understanding of SM risk by a seafarer's to prevent accidents by SM explosion and/or fire.
