China has integrated maritime safety system which positively and effectively ensures safe navigation and environmental protection. This paper gives brief account on maritime safety rules and regulations, adminstrations and management mechanism, navigation aids and facilities, maritime communication and GMDSS etc. China is a developing country with fast economical growth. With a long coastline of 18,000 kilometers, and 5,000 more islands, China has a fairly developed shipping industry. China also sits in IMO Council as A member. In China , there are over 200 ports with an annual hadnling capacity of over 10,000 tons of cargo ; there are over 4,000 coasters and ocean-going ships with more than 3 million seafarers of which 1/3 being officers ; there are an aggregate gross tonnage 17 million gt for merchant ships. China ranks No.5 shipping country in the world as shown by Lloyd's Maritime Information Services Ltd. 1995. The Chinese shipping industry plays an important role in both domestic transportation and foreign trade. The Chinese government always attaches great importance to maritime safety . Since 1949, and from the adoption of reform-opening policy, China has gradually formed an integrated maritime safety system.

Unlike advancements on land, the maritime industry has been slow to embrace new technologies, primarily due to user apprehension toward unproven innovations in the development process. The existing paradigm of technology development, marked by expert-oriented and laboratory-centric test environments, often leads to a stagnation of progress at the research stage, as the applicability of the technology remains uncertain. This study departed from the conventional research system and introduced a novel methodology known as a "living lab." This approach aimed to ensure applicability by actively involving field-oriented users throughout the entire lifecycle of technology development, encompassing planning, development, verification, and evaluation. The presentation of a plan for the construction and operation of such a living lab in this study is expected to contribute to establishing an efficient experimentation system for ships that can reflect user opinions in the future and to secure technology applicability in the maritime field.

Republic of Korea is the first country which received international aids, h1s become a member of DAC, and recently has strengthened the international aids policy through ODA(Official Development Assistance). Korea ODA has focused on the area of education, social infrastructure, etc., but not on maritime affairs. However, since Korea has become a maritime country and a member of "A Group" council of IMO, the international shipping community including IMO strongly requests Korea to transfer Korea's maritime safety technology to developing countries for the sake of international maritime safety and marine environment protection. In this study, the direction of road map for effective transfer of maritime safety technology and marine environment protection technology was presented. The strategy for implementation of the suggested road map was proposed as well.

This study aimed to determine the importance of the policies formulated through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries' master plan for Seafarer's policy. To confirm the importance of the Seafarer's policy, AHP analysis was conducted on the 3 main policies and 15 auxiliary policies established by the master plan for Seafarer's policy. To analyze the reliability of the survey, we investigated the inconsistency ratio of 34 respondents retrieved. We found that 25 respondents validated the reliability of the findings. The analysis showed that the policy of establishing a stable supply and demand system was the most important among the main policies for seafarers, while the policy of fostering seafarers linked to jobs was the most important one among the auxiliary policies. By group, the government recognized establishing a stable supply and demand system as a priority of policy. Dif erences were found on the fact that improving working conditions and expanding welfare were important for seafarers. This study, which analyzed the importance of the Seafarer's policy through AHP analysis, has the following implications. We established guidelines to enhance efficiency, such as budget allocation by policy according to the importance in implementing Seafarer's policies. Furthermore, our study can be used as basic data for establishing a master plan for Seafarer's policy by comparing differences in importance per group.

IMO is treating various and numerous agenda with time, and the contents of agenda have been tending to achieve international standardization for details of technology, for example GBS(Goal based new ship construction standards), PSPC(Performance Standards of Protective Coating), LRIT(Long-Range Identification and Tracking of Ships), etc. This paper presents the latest agenda trend of IMO committees and analyzes the ROK's activities in response to IMO committees. In the result of analysis, ROK lacks in performance ability as a A-category council member as well as infrastructure to support the government activities in IMO continuously. Therefore, ROK should be conscious of policy approaches to international maritime tendency and needs to complete the internal/external infrastructure which leads the international maritime policy.
