According to SOLAS Convention, a voyage data recorder(VDR) is to be fitted onboard ships to assist in the marine casualty investigation However, a review of Korean Maritime Safety tribunal(KMST), shows that the current VDR systems is inconvenient in practical because the storage format of VDR and the casualty reproduction method are different from one manufacturer to another making it economically and timely difficult for the maritime casualty investigation bodies to carry out investigation in a proper manner. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a newly designed VDR Analysis System(VDRAS), which decodes the voyage data of VDR producea by different manufacturers, reproduces the condition at the time of casualty in an accurate, and performs necessary checks.

$\ulcorner$Ministry Of Maritime Affairs And Fisheries$\lrcorner$was established on 8 August 1996 by emerging ex-$\ulcorner$Maritime and Port Administration$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$Fisheries Administration$\lrcorner$and some other marine-related organs such as $\ulcorner$Maritime Police Agency$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$Marine Accident Inquiry Agency$\lrcorner$, etc., for the purpose of enhancing development of national marine polices in various aspect and promoting marine safety and environmental protection activities. Therefore, the unification of marine casualty statistics is required for the need of appreciating present condition and problem. This paper shows the Client/Server computing system which could replace the existing Main Frame system set up by Maritime and Port Administration and Marine Accident Inquiry Agency. It also gives the way to connect every casualty related organ for data exchange of casualty information and INTERNET for opening casualty information to the public. So, applicable techniques and basic policy direction is dealt with.

This research is based on the information compiled on the occurrence of maritime casualties onboard ships registered under Central American Region (CAR) flag States. Due to nonexistence of writing reports in anyone of the countries that are integrating this Region, the information was compiled by the author through personal communication with the people involved in the casualties. The information was compiled by typing up the text and digitizing on the computer for the respective data base. For each casualty occurred, the following information was compiled, date and type of the casualty, position of the ship at the time of the casualty, dimension of the ship, number of people affected by the casualty, and cause and consequences of the casualty. Based on the number of people affected (death and disappear) by the casualties occurred was calculated the mortality rate by 100,000 persons and then compared with the Japanese mortality rate. Furthermore were analyzed the CAR maritime authorities competences and then were compared to that the Japanese counter part. In addition, the implementation rate of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Labor Organization (ILO) conventions ratified by the CAR countries were analyzed. The objective of this research was to compiled and analyze the occurrences of maritime casualties happened on board the ships registered under the CAR Flag States, in order to determine the causes of these accidents. The results of the analysis enable us to better understand of the maritime safety situation of the ships that are registered under the CAR flag States. In order to reduce the occurrence of maritime casualties are proposed a series of measures based on the differences found then the comparison between CAR and Japan. Based on the results of this research, is possible to conclude that the inaccessibility of atmospheric information and the lack of safety measures onboard has been the main cause of the maritime casualties happened in the Pacific side of the CAR.

This report represents analysis of the maritime casualty in terms of Bridge Resource Management. We evaluate the attitudes and knowledge of bridge officer regarding human factors issues that have been identified as causal to mishaps in high-risk situations. So to reduce human errors our goal is to establish effective officer resource management (ORM) program which is based on all subjects for cadets in IMO model course. In harmonization with STCW(The International Convention on Standards of training, Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers), as the result, the curriculumss in the maritime education institutions is surveyed to improve our education system and then reduce the human errors by mariners at sea.

The paper describes on the implementation of marine casualty prediction model that is one of the main part of Korean MArine Casualty FOrecasting System (K-MACFOS). In this work, Cell Distributed Linear-In-the-Parameter (CD-LIP) model is proposed and discussed its usability with comparing Baltic model and revised LIP model. As evaluation results by regression analysis of variance, it is known that the CD-LIP model gives best performance to the marine casualty numerical D/B of the target sea area.

For telecommunication system construction to minimize the casualty of fisher, we investigated the usability of TRS communication system and performance of GPS automatic position transmitter (APT) which can be utilized for the survival, search and rescue of the victims. The trial experiments were conducted at sea with TRS and CDMA in the East, West and South Sea of Korea from October to December. As a result, the usability of the TRS as an emergency communication system device was verified since it provided stable position and voice information to the boundary of 50km far from the coast. Therefore the system is expected to contribute to minimization of victims.

The representative risk evaluation techniques of the marine traffic environment are the FSA, PAWSA, & IWRAP. For the development of these techniques, the risk factors suitable to the marine traffic environment should be selected & the assessment criterion of the risk factors should be provided. The risk factors were selected as the factors that relate both to the frequency of casualty & to the consequence of casualty because the risk was defined as the frequency of casualty times the consequence of that casualty on the existing techniques. But, the risk factors relate to the consequence of casualty are excluded because the risk is defined as the sum of the risk factors including the frequency and the consequence by factors on this study. The 20 kinds of risk factors to compose the risk are selected and classified into 5 categories according to similar nature through the analysis of preceding study on the classification of the risk factors. Finally, as the foundation of risk assessment model's development for domestic marine traffic environment, the practical assessment criterion of the risk factors are suggested.

The paper describes on the construction and analysis of marine casualty numerical D/B (N-D/B) to implement Korean MArine Casualty Forecasting System (K-MACFOS). The main target of K-MACFOS is to broadcast the prediction number and risk level of marine casualties as like daily weather forecasting. The data relating to a total of 724 ship casualties in the west-southern sea area (33oN∼35oN, 124oE∼127oE) of Korean peninsula for 11 years (1990∼2000) have been compiled and converted into quantitative data with 14 numeric conversion scales. Through the statistical analysis using contour-map visualization, the usability of N-D/B and the casualty features of the target sea areas are discussed. In addition, the optimum year-band selection method is also proposed to provide correct N-D/B analysis and precise prediction of the number of marine casualties.

Earlier studies indicated clearly that information obtained from conventional statistics cannot provide guidance on detailed casualty analysis. Much more is needed if casualty statistics are to play a proficient and vigorous role in encouraging safety. Specific difficulties originate from making the causal relationships clear. Fault tree analysis and symbolic modeling of functional block diagram are an efficient aid in safety analysis so that these methods are generally used in other industries. This paper describes the application of these tools in shipping casualties and how to evaluate the relationships between different causes of ship casualties. Thesee methods are proved to be an efficient and useful tools to indicate the relationships between individual physical factors. In addition these models permit easy understanding and recognition of the factors leading to individual casualty
