The offshore plant industry has basically functioned with a rigid teamwork culture and many operations are managed by ship's crew, shifts and affiliates together. The marine sector of offshore plant has much similarity with ship's environment. So a person who had experienced on board will have advantages to work for offshore industry. But in spite of all that, only a few korean seafarers are able to join in the offshore industry due to lack of information about the offshore environment. This study analyze the employee's wage structure, nature of employment contract, requirements of job qualifications. Therefore, this study will assist for seafarers to set up how to get their work and also suggest to develop relevant offshore training courses by researching the gap competency matrix.

The propensity analysis for oral exam candidates of sixth class deck officer's license was conducted to serve as a basic data for improving the ability of seamanship and a stable workforce supply using a questionnaire. A general information of them was identified as 64.4% of offshore fishing, 56.8% of over 50, 56.6% of less middle school education, 55.6% of under 100 gross tonnage, 81.2% of over 10 years experience, 85.6% of deck department, which means they are from mainly less than 100 gross tonnage of offshore fishing vessel, less educated, and long term experienced in the deck job. The reason why they took the test was mainly due to their will (71.1%). And 52.7% of them took the test for the first time, 52.7% of answers responded they are lack of knowledge about a written exam and text of KIMFT in preparation data for an oral exam 23.3%. Given the fact that 83.3% of respondents experienced marine accidents on board, the need for marine casualty reduction education was verified. Even after obtaining a license, they showed a higher preference of boarding that they embarked before the examination. Also, 61.7% of them have a plan for long-term boarding at least three years, thus leading to supply of workforce in coastal and offshore areas.

With the restriction of foreigners' entry into Korea due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fishery industry faced significant challenges in supplying migrant workers. In response to this, there is growing interest in methods that could facilitate the stable employment of migrant workers. This paper investigates whether the current system used for the employment of migrant workers in the fishery industry, which is highly dependent on them, adequately performs its function of providing a stable and skilled workforce amid the intensified labor shortage resulting from decreasing numbers of households with employment in the fishery and the aging Korean fishermen. To this end, past studies and government documents pertaining to the current system were analyzed, and a survey targeting the owners of offshore fishing boats that employ migrant workers was conducted. A total of 147 owners of fishing boats responded to the survey, and the data of 499 migrant workers employed by them were used for the analysis. The analysis indicated that the migrant fishermen had difficulty in acquiring minimum scores for the change of visa status according to the criteria for the Skilled Worker Points System. Furthermore, distinct differences were found between the characteristics and working conditions of migrant workers employed through the Employment Permit System (EPS) and the Foreign Seamen System. Based on this result, this paper suggests the reorganization of the skilled migrant worker system in the fishery industry and the expansion of the regional specialized visa pilot project.

Interests in the Polar Regions have been growing due to various factors such as depletion of natural resources and advanced resource development technologies, accelerated rate of polar ice melting as a result of global warming, etc. In particular, demand for the workforce related to vessel passage using the Northern Sea Route and polar studies is still expanding. The International Maritime Organization adopted the Polar Code in 2015 for the safety of ship operation in polar waters and it will enter into force from 2017. But education and training section in the code has been prescribed only for the safe navigation in the ice covered waters intended for navigational offices. There is no basic safety training requirement that applies commonly for all personnel exposed to the risk of the polar regions and the relevant study or discussion has not been made so far. Therefore, this study provides basic data for developing safety training courses for crew and other personnel by analyzing relevant regulations on polar safety training and the contents of relevant safety training in offshore industry required by the costal states adjacent to arctic ocean.
