The South Korean fishing industry is experiencing a rapid growth owing to an increase in its leisure-fishing population. Consequently, fishing boats weighing 9-10 [ton] have also been increasing. Current fishing boats operate their essential equipment by switching their engines with batteries to reduce the cost of gas and engine noise. However, stranding incidents have been increasingly recorded annually, in which boats fail to start owing to discharged batteries, and these incidents can lead to serious casualties. This study proposes the installation of a solar auxiliary power system to safeguard fishing boats, particularly those weighing between 9-10 [ton]. The feasibility of securing space for the solar auxiliary power of boats under consideration was verified. To examine the application of solar power, this study calculates the load necessary to operate it for fishing and models such a system using an electricity analysis program The modeled system, which applies the monthly horizontal solar insolation, validated the adoption of a solar auxiliary power in fishing boats.

The management of safety at sea is based on a set of internationally accepted regulations and codes, governing or guiding the design and operation of ships. The regulations most directly concerned with human safety and protection of the environment are, in general, agreed internationally through the International Maritime Organization(IMO). IMO has continuously dealt with safety problems and, recognized that the human element is a key factor in both safety and pollution prevention issues(IMO, 2010). This paper proposes a human error analysis methodology which is based on the human error taxonomy and theories (SHELL model, GEMS model and etc.) that were discussed in the IMO guidelines for the investigation of human factors in marine casualties and incidents. In this paper, a cognitive process model, a human error analysis technique and a marine accident causal chains focused on human factors are discussed, and towing vessel collision accidents are analyzed as a case study in order to examine the applicability of the human error analysis technique to marine accidents. Also human errors related to those towing vessel collision accidents and their underlying factors are discussed in detail.

Accidents and incidents caused by poor performance in the maritime industry suggest the need to find ways to improve performance in order to operate effectively and improve safety. The data for this study was collected from maritime students and involves the performance and levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Various motivational factors were identified and the ways in which these factors relate to performance was analyzed. The importance of considering motivation when recruiting new trainees and workers, and continually looking for ways to increase intrinsic motivation, is stressed throughout this paper. The results suggest that high levels of good quality motivation correlate positively with better performance.

We will discuss the procedures involved in the development of the lesson plans including the various research and analysis approaches, which lead into practical lesson plans based on the 4 sub-categorized subjects analyzed throughout 7 different text books of food hygiene and safety education as followings: Food Hygiene, Personal and Environmental Hygiene, Food Contamination Incidents, Food Poisoning, and Food Safety. Lesson Plans represents STEAM associated education involving the partnerships between business-associated teachers and food educational teachers, focusing on cultivating the students' problem-solving abilities by inducing voluntary participation and critical thinking.

Users of passenger ships and cruise ships are rapidly increasing year by year, and the needs of the floating architecture are newly come out. But the studies about the passengers' safety and the countermeasures against incidents on board the ships are rare, although the ships' incidents are occurred averagely 15 cases per year during last 10 years. For the purposes of the analysis of the safety consciousness and gathering the some of input data for evacuation simulation for Korean passengers on board ships, this study performed surveys targeting ordinary 394 passengers who are not specially trained and/or accustomed with onboard living conditions. The results are the followings. The reliability on ships' safety is surveyed as 32.3%. Only 14.6% of respondents are aware that there were safety education on board ship during sailing. And 42.2% and 40.9% of respondents answered that they saw the map of emergency routes and knew where the life boats are, respectively. And 73.3% select crews' direct or in-direct(like announcement by indoor broadcasting system) guidances as the most effective evacuation method.

Incidents of poisoning caused by edible marine bivalve, Tapes philippinarum in Kojedo, Korea were reported in March 1968 and 1969. The results of the present investigation revealed that the incidents were caused by hemorrhagic diathesis and liver injuries, as those caused by acute yellow atrophic liver. The minimal lethal dose of the liver extract of the bivalve varied with seasons. The dose was 0.02ml in March and increased to 0.25ml in April-May 1969. After lune the extract showed no toxicity. Phthalein reaction of smashed liver solution of the bivalve showed a great variation with seasons. In March the values of $P_1$(crude solution) and $P_2$ (boiled one) were 0.1 and 10, at its strongest toxicity. In May those of $P_1\;and\;P_2$ were 1 and 1,000. However the mouse died after intraperitoneal administration of 0.25ml of the liver extract at the $P_2$ value of 1,000. For this reason, determination of the toxicity is difficult by judging from the phthalein reaction alone. The bivalves collected from Pusan, Kaduk, Koje, Hansan, Yeosu, Mokpo and Kunsan were found nontoxic during April-August 1969.

As the type of Hazardous and Noxious Substances(HNS) becomes various and the transport volume of HNS increases, HNS spill incidents occur frequently on land and the sea. In view of various damages to human lives and properties by HNS spills, it is necessary to educate and train professional personnel in preparation for and response to potential HNS spills. This study shows the current state of response systems and education courses against HNS spill incidents on land and the sea to compare those with each other between land and sea in Korea. Incident command system on land are basically similar to that at sea, but leading authority which is responsible for combating HNS spills at sea is changeable depending on the location of HNS spill, as it were, Korea Coast Guard(KCG) is responsible for urgent response to HNS spill at sea, while municipalities are responsible for the response to HNS drifted ashore. Education courses for HNS responders on land are established at National Fire Service Academy(NFSA), National Institute of Chemical Safety(NICS), etc., and are diverse. Education and training courses for HNS responder at sea are established at Korea Coast Guard Academy(KCGA) and Marine Environment Research & Training Institute(MERTI), and are comparatively simple. Education courses for dangerous cargo handlers who work in port where land is linked to the sea are established at Korea Maritime Dangerous Goods Inspection & Research Institute(KOMDI), Korea Port Training Institute(KPTI) and Korea Institute of Maritime and Fisheries Technology(KIMFT). Through the comparison of education courses for HNS responders between land and sea, some recommendations such as extension of education targets, division of an existing integrated HNS course into two courses composed of operational level and manager level with respective refresh course, on-line cyber course and joint inter-educational institute course in cooperation with other relevant institutes are proposed for the improvement in education courses of KCG and KOEM(Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation) to educate and train professionals for combating HNS spills at sea in Korea.

선박산업에서의 국내외 해양사고 통계에 의하면, 모든 해양사고의 80% 정도가 직접적 또는 간접적으로 관련된 인적요인(Human Factors)에 의하여 발생한다고 보고되고 있다. 이러한 해양사고의 원인을 규명함으로써 유사 해양사고의 발생을 방지하고, 또한, 해양사고 조사에 있어서 공통적인 접근방법의 이용과 국가 간의 협력을 증진시키기 위한 목적으로, IMO(International Maritime Organization)에서는 해양사고 인적요인 조사지침(Guidelines for the Investigation of Human Factors in Marine Casualties and Incidents)을 포함한 해양사고조사코드(Casualty Investigation Code: Code of the International Standards and Recommended Practices for a Safety Investigation into a Marine Casualty or Marine Incident)를 채택하였으며, 동 코드는 2010년 1월 1일 발효되었다. 이에 따라, 해양안전심판원에서는, 3단계 절차로 구성된 인적요인 조사 및 분석 방법론을 제안하고, "해양사고 인적요인 분석 매뉴얼"을 마련하였다. 본 논문에서는, 해양안전심판원에서 제안한 인적요인 조사 및 분석 방법론을 실제 해양사고에 적용하여 인적요인 조사분석 모델의 적용사례를 마련하고, 분석 모델을 검토 및 보완하고자 한다.
