The purpose of this study is to find out what is the functional role of VTS in order to get the people concerned with marine traffic/transportation understand about VTS. VTS could be described as the essential risk management system in both cost effective on cost-benefit analysis and the sea space or time management at port, coastal environment. The important role of the VTS are those functions such as the decision making infrastructure, the passive/active safety measures at sea. VTS could not control/regulate marine traffic as strong as ATC(Air Traffic Control) owing to the marine traffic characters. However, the right and responsibility of VTS finally are belong to the master, pilot and mariners. For the benefit of the electronic technology development, VTS system also cloud be upgraded to communication system from information system. In connection with these system upgrading, the right and responsibility of VTS/staff should be supported by domestic legal system. The followings are presented for VTS to be effective. First, the cooperation and understanding of VTS between the peoples concerned with marine traffic/transportation are essential. Because they are all data supplier and also information consumers. Second, VTS staff/regulator should be selected, educated, trained accordingly as per their career, ability, quality, qualification, certification and etc. Third, the port reliability from VTS users depends on the factors such as economic interests, safety and effectiveness/efficiency of VTS.

On offshore platforms, oil and gas leaks are apt to be the initial events of major accidents that may result in significant loss of life and property damage. To prevent accidents induced by leakage, it is vital to perform a case-specific and accurate risk assessment. This paper presents an integrated method of Ddynamic Qquantitative Rrisk Aassessment (DQRA)-using the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)-Bayesian Network (BN)-for evaluation of the system vulnerabilities and prediction of the occurrence probabilities of accidents induced by leakage. In the method, three-level indicators are established to identify factors, events, and subsystems that may lead to leakage, fire, and explosion. The critical indicators that directly influence the evolution of risk are identified using DEMATEL. Then, a sequential model is developed to describe the escalation of initial events using an Event Tree (ET), which is converted into a BN to calculate the posterior probabilities of indicators. Using the newly introduced accident precursor data, the failure probabilities of safety barriers and basic factors, and the occurrence probabilities of different consequences can be updated using the BN. The proposed method overcomes the limitations of traditional methods that cannot effectively utilize the operational data of platforms. This work shows trends of accident risks over time and provides useful information for risk control of floating marine platforms.

A subsea chemical injection system treats blockage problems in a subsea production system. It is important to treat problems quickly, because production delays cause fatal profit losses in a subsea production system. Therefore, the subsea industry requires a relatively higher reliability level for a production system compared to other industries. In this study, a subsea chemical injection system (linked to a control system) to inject chemicals into a subsea X-mas tree was analyzed. By using FSA (Formal Safety Assessment), the risk factors were defined and a quantitative risk analysis utilizing FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) and ETA (Event Tree Analysis) was performed. As a result, the effectiveness of a risk reduction option was evaluated.

Musculoskeletal disorders(MSDs) are one of the major issues in shipbuilding industry. Main risk factors of MSDs include manual handling of heavy weight, awkward posture, repetitive tasks, prolonged static muscle contraction, and so on. in this study, Using the three-dimensional digital human modeling and simulation method we made up a worker and work posture on a virtual environment. To verify this simulation we compared both traditional ergonomic analysis on a real worker and digital program analysis on a digital human. And this paper shows that it is possible to reduce the rate of MSDs in the shipbuilding industry because it means we can change poor posture mid surroundings into better ones.

Microalgae are of significant importance for future biotechnological applications. Many microalgae banks or laboratories attempt to maintain various microalgae for further research purposes. Cryopreservation has been preferred to reduce a labor-intensive and costly routine sub-culturing. Cryopreservation can also diminish the genetic drift risk. However, cryopreservation as a long term storage of microalgae method are still in developing progress because it cannot be generalized for all microalgae. Microalgae types, cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) types, freezing and thawing methods are the most important factors that should be considered for cryopreservation. In this short review the basic principles and the current advanced of microalgae cryopreservation methods are discussed with a suggested starting parameters for microalgae cryopreservation.

Background: Maintenance operations on-board ships are highly demanding. Maintenance operations are intensive activities requiring high man-machine interactions in challenging and evolving conditions. The evolving conditions are weather conditions, workplace temperature, ship motion, noise and vibration, and workload and stress. For example, extreme weather condition affects seafarers' performance, increasing the chances of error, and, consequently, can cause injuries or fatalities to personnel. An effective human error probability model is required to better manage maintenance on-board ships. The developed model would assist in developing and maintaining effective risk management protocols. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop a human error probability model considering various internal and external factors affecting seafarers' performance. Methods: The human error probability model is developed using probability theory applied to Bayesian network. The model is tested using the data received through the developed questionnaire survey of >200 experienced seafarers with >5 years of experience. The model developed in this study is used to find out the reliability of human performance on particular maintenance activities. Results: The developed methodology is tested on the maintenance of marine engine's cooling water pump for engine department and anchor windlass for deck department. In the considered case studies, human error probabilities are estimated in various scenarios and the results are compared between the scenarios and the different seafarer categories. The results of the case studies for both departments are also compared. Conclusion: The developed model is effective in assessing human error probabilities. These probabilities would get dynamically updated as and when new information is available on changes in either internal (i.e., training, experience, and fatigue) or external (i.e., environmental and operational conditions such as weather conditions, workplace temperature, ship motion, noise and vibration, and workload and stress) factors.

지금까지 IMO를 비롯한 해운산업분야에서는 해상의 인명 재산, 해양환경보호에 항상 큰 관심을 가지고 해양사고예방을 위한 많은 노력들이 견주되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 크고 작은 해양사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있는 것이 오늘날의 현실이다. 한편, 선박충돌사고는 수많은 원인이 서로 복잡하게 상호작용을 하고 있어서 사고예방대책마련에 어려움이 많다 따라서, 선박충돌사고의 정량적인 분석을 위해서는 이들 상호작용요소간의 관계를 시스템적으로 파악하고 분석하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 먼저, 지난 10년(1991-2000)간 국내에서 발생한 선박충돌사고에 대한 위험성을 분석하였고, 또한 사고발생에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 위해요소(Hazard)인 인적요소(Human Factor)에 대해서 전문가집단의 의견을 수렴하여 FSM기법을 이용하여 인적 위해요소를 계층화한 후 각 요소 상호간의 관련성을 분석하였다. 그 결과로써 인적요소에 의한 선박충돌사고의 발생과정과 각 계층에 속한 요소가 사고에 미치는 영향력을 규명하고, 각 요소간 상호관계를 파악하여 사고예방대책마련을 위한 우선순위를 결정할 수 있는 선박충돌사고의 인적요소 구조그래프를 제시하였다.

최근 크루즈 선박과 같이 선박의 대형화, 복합화가 진행됨에 따라 선박사고 시 인명피해가 증가하여, 선박 재난시 승객 안전을 확보하기 위한 기술의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 현재까지는, 선박 내 사고 상황 시 안내방송 및 화재경보 비상벨, 비상유도등과 같이 현재 위치에서 안전한 곳으로 대피하라는 단순한 신호만 줄 뿐 적절한 탈출 경로를 선택함에 있어서 도움을 주지는 못한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 여러 대피유도 방안이 제안되어 왔지만 다양한 위험요소와 그에 대한 특성에 대한 고려가 부족하여 실제 시스템에 적용하는 데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 위험요소와 해당 특성을 고려할 수 있는 $A^*$ 알고리즘 기반의 대피유도 시스템을 제안한다. 가상 구조물 및 선박 내 재난 상황을 가정한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방식의 성능을 검증하였다.
