The educational process and result of onboard training should be evaluated according to the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping for seafarers(STCW), 1978. In particular, the revised Convention requires that a trainee's seagoing service must be recorded in each cadet's Training Record Book approved by the maritime administration responsible for the issuance of certificates of competency. Trainees for certification under regulation III/1 of the STCW Convention are required to complete an approved on-board training programme. The purpose of this paper is to understand the compliance of the education for an approved on-board training programme. The questionnaire was distributed among 110 cadets being trained on board the training ship of the maritime college of the Mokpo National Maritime University. In this study, we conducted the questionnaire survey which is related to the on-board training programme such as marine engineering; controlling the operation of the ship and care for persons on board; electrical, electronic and control engineering; etc. The survey revealed that onboard training program was normally satisfactory, however, lack of practical training tools and time have accounted for most of the reasons for dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is our goal to enhance the satisfactory value of onboard training education by analyzing the reason of the dissatisfaction.

In 2010 the Manila Amendments established the highest practicable standards for officers and engineers. This amendments includes knowledge, understanding, skills, and proficiency required for a deck officer in terms of the BRM (Bridge Resource Management) to reduce human errors, stated in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Cerification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). This paper proposes a proper direction to improve BRM education program in Korea. In relation to the BRM program, its contents and education method were analyzed through the satisfactions survey for cadets and the experienced officers. As a consequence, this research gives several suggestions to improve the current BRM course.

The Engine Room Resource Management System will be applied to ocean going ships according to the revision of 2010 STCW convention. This paper aims to study the practical procedures for establishing Engine Room Resource Management System in connection with the eight quality management principles of ISO 9001 and Korean law. For the purpose of this study. the definition and the necessity of Engine Room Resource Management System and customer, product, customer requirements in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 9001 are reviewed and discussed.

In recent years most of large-sized merchant ships have been equipped with a high-voltage system. The ships demanding a lot of electric power adopt the high voltage such as 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV. Gradually as the high voltage system is increased in the ships, engineering officers are more opportunities to operate the high voltage system. So the high voltage training for engineering officers was established in the STCW 1978 as amended by the Manila Amendments in 2010. According to this convention when the engineering officers want to board the high voltage ships on and after January 1 in 2017, they must take the high voltage training. This paper, firstly, analyzes the content of high voltage training in STCW convention and IMO model course. In addition, it reviews the parts need to be considered in the content of the high voltage training. Finally this paper proposes the contents of training model divided into theory and practice.

This paper compares the maritime education of two traditional maritime countries, Korea and the Philippines, specifically, in their maritime transportation education. The subjects of this review focus on Mokpo National Maritime University(MMU) and the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy(PMMA). The paper presents the curricular and training programs of both institutions and shows the differences in the curriculum designs and methodology of delivery as contained in the requirements of Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping 1978, as amended in 1995(STCW 95). It also illustrates the social climate of the two countries and the attitude of maritime community in relation with the maritime programs offered by the institutions towards the quality of the competent maritime graduates.

Lifeboats of vessels are necessary for protection of seafarer's safety. However, many accidents have been happened during free-fall type lifeboat drills on board a ship. The aim of this study describes IMO's efforts and some solutions against constructional problem of lifeboats regulated by the provisions of the SOLAS Convention for prevention of accidents with lifeboats and provides information for revising national laws in accordance with the revision of the International Conventions such as SOLAS and STCW.

The development of a Marine Engine Room Simulator system for training and research is described. Development objectives of the system are for both student training, research and development work. The system includes a distributed server/client architecture for 1 to 1, or 1 to many client simulation operation through OPC server, complete separation of visual elements from the controlling routines and the ability to work on the mathematical model independent of the controller and visual systems. A graphical user interface for the man-machine interface has been developed and the mathematical model has been updated. Various engine room operational situations can be simulated. The use of marine engine room simulator for training of sea going engineers and its competency for STCW-95 is discussed.

Traditionally, in the education for the trainees of marine officier, the emphasis is laid on the practical training on board to prepare them for the future position on board and to fit them for the shipboard life. Though the education has been carried out in various ways according to each country's social tradition, culture and educational system, in these days it is done normally by the combined way of school education and training on board to get the competence for the marine officer. Thus the shipboard training course is compulsively required to the candidates for certification as merchant marine officers by the IMO STCW convention 1978 and also it is believed that the education for the dacet officers is to be completed through the shipboard training. In spite of the various earlier studies to improve the training education system, there are few studies for the matters and problems form the standing point of cadet.

LNG 선박의 급증에 의한 승무원 심각한 부족현상에 대비하여, IMO에서는 STCW의 전면 개정 등의 대응방안을 마련하고 있다. 이러한 국제기구의 대응은 물론 향후 최대 수입국이 될 것으로 예상되는 미국연안에 들어오는 전 LNG 선박의 미국적 선화를 목표로 하는 법안을 승인하는 등 LNG 선박의 안전과 보안으로 인하여 세계 LNG 해운에 있어서의 커다란 변화가 예상된다. 한국해양대학교에서는 이러한 변화의 물결에 발 빠르게 대처하고자 아시아 LNG 교육훈련센터의 설립과 함께 IMO 및 미국의 해양대학들과의 회의를 통하여 대응방안을 검토한 바 있다. 이 발표에서는 LNG 인력양성을 위한 국제적인 동향을 살펴본 후, 이러한 국제적 변화의 물결에 대비하기 위한 방안에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.
