  • This paper is designed to make a national strategic concept for the ROK's maritime security and to explore cooperation directions for the ROK Navy and Coast Guard in order to implement the newly-made maritime security strategic concept. As strategy is composed of three main categories(goals, ways, means), the goal of the ROK's maritime security strategy is 'Safe and Affluent Sea' and the way to realize the goal is the principle of cooperative leverage, and the means as tasks to implement the strategic concept are maritime safety, maritime security, and maritime stewardship. The concept of national fleet as used in the US is applied to promoting the cooperation between the ROK Navy and Coast Guard. Thus, under the newly-established maritime security strategic concept along with the national fleet model, followings are suggested as policy proposals for facilitating mutual cooperation between the ROK Navy and Coast Guard in dealing with not only traditional threats but also non-traditional treats at sea and from the sea as well. First, the ROK Navy and Coast Guard has been making efforts to enhance interoperability between the two sea services. However, the mutual cooperations have been focused mainly on areas on operational level rather than policy level. Therefore, the two sea services are recommended to enlarge exchanges and cooperation in policy areas. Second, there are still demands for further cooperation areas between the two sea services in command and communications. The interoperability in C2 between the two needs to be upgraded even to the areas of anti-terrorist activities ar sea, ASUW, ASW, maritime interdiction, etc. Third, mutual comparability between the two needs to be reflected in the maritime forces development to ensure the comparability in UNREP and other logistics areas. Fourth, the standardization of logistical materials and equipments is needed as a way of sustaining operational capability and logistical capacity for the ROK Navy and Coast Guard as well. Fifth, the ROK Navy and Coast Guard are recommended to participate more actively in international maritime cooperation activities such as PASSEX. Sixth, Complementary laws and regulations need further to be revised and to be newly made for collectively managing swiftly maritime accidents and natural disasters at sea.

  • 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.

  • In this paper, the state-of-the-art IVEF Service based on e-Navigation System was represented. The unification of the data exchange format among maritime-related systems is one of vital user-needs of e-Navigation, advantageous in bringing maritime safety and security. This paper propose the method to exchange marine information in IVEF, as recommended by the IALA, between VTS centers and Korea's GICOMS as well as the government-related agencies. To achieve this, a system data flow was designed which it acts as client and server. It enables the sending and receiving of Radar and CCTV images in accordance with the IVEF recommendation document of IALA.

  • This paper describes the implementation procedures and results of Fishery Safety and Security System to secure an aquaculture area from a thief. The system designed with various functional modules to implement selectively available system providing low cost to high cost and simple function to high function according to user's requirement in a practical fishing fields. In the abalone farm field located in Jin island, Jeonranam province and having condensed aquaculture facilities with 50 cages (10 row by 5 column) within 0.5 miles from coast, practical field tests are carried out. As results from that tests, it is found that the system can guard not only the whole area of cultivating farm field but also each cages with detail.

  • With the development of digital technology, the marine environment is expected to change rapidly. In the case of autonomous vessels, technology is being developed in many countries, and the international community has begun to discuss ways to operate it. Changes in ships cause changes in the marine traffic environment and urge changes to aids to navigation. This study aims to analyze the cyber security management awareness of VTS personnel to improve the cyber security system for aids to navigation. To this end, the current status of cyber security management was reviewed with a focus on VTS, and a survey was conducted on VTS personnel. The survey analysis used the IPA methodology, and as a result of the analysis, a clear difference was observed in the perception of cybersecurity between those with experience in security and those without experience. In addition, technical measures related to cyber-attack detection and blocking should be implemented with the highest priority. The results of this study can be used as basic data for improving the cyber security management system for aids to navigation.

  • Ships' tracking data are being monitored and collected by vessel traffic service center in real time. In this paper, we intend to contribute to vessel traffic service operators' decision making through extracting ships' tracking patterns and models based on these data. Support Vector Machine algorithm was used for vessel track modeling to handle and process the data sets and k-fold cross validation was used to select the proper parameters. Proposed data processing methods could support vessel traffic service operators' decision making on case of anomaly detection, calculation ships' dead reckoning positions and etc.
