Since March 15, 2022, the korea coast guard has revised the qualification standards for VTSO so that they can take the VTSO recruitment test under the korea coast guard without boarding experience to diversify their recruitment routes. By this study, we looked into VTS working circumstances and reviewed important provisions about enactment and revision of VTS regulations and VTS certificate system so far to compare and analyze pros and cons of each control task performance method by illustrations which are occasions in both home and foreign control operation. And also, I suggest ways to improve VTSO task in future make a VTSO credential demonstration system settle down successfully.

This paper describes the application method of bumper area defined in the ship domain theory and it is to identify risky sectors in VTS(Vessel Traffic Services) area. The final goal of this work is to develop early warning system providing the location information with high traffic risks in Mokpo VTS area and to prevent the human errors of VTS Officer(VTSO). The current goal of this paper is to find evaluation and detection method of risky sectors. The ratio between overlapped bumper area of each vessels and the summing area of a designated sector, Ratio to Evaluate Risk(RER) ${\gamma}$ is used as one of evaluation and detection parameter. The usability of overlapped bumper area is testified through three kinds of scenarios for various traffic situations. The marine traffic data used in the experiments is collected by AIS(Automatic Identification System) receiver and then compiled in the SQL(Structured Query Language) Server. Through the analysis of passing vessel's tracks within the boundary of Mokpo VTS area, the total of 11 sectors are identified as evaluation unit sector. As experiment results from risk evaluation for the 11 sectors, it is clearly known that the proposed method with RER ${\gamma}$ can provide the location information of high risky sectors which are need to keep traffic tracks of vessel movements and to maintain traffic monitoring by VTSO.
