  • Fishing is considered one of the most dangerous industries alongside mining that needs further efforts to improve safety. In this study, we have investigated safety management of the gillnet fishing industry in South Korea through identifying safety level and classifying common accident types from the statements of accident com-pensation insurance payments for the last 5 years (2016-2020). There were in total 3,895 accidents and 159 fatalities with an average accident frequency of 5.34 × 10-2 per year per fisher and an average fatality of 2.18 × 10-3 fishers per year. We have also identified that 62.4% of the accidents occurred during Fishing (FS), and the most common and the most severe accident type is Slips and Trips (ST) and Other (OT) marine accidents such as collision and capsizing, respectively. The hand was most frequently injured. Finally, the risk assessment indicated that most of the accident types of gillnet fishing in South Korea have unacceptable levels of risks, and it is urgent to implement improved safety measures to reduce accidents during gillnet fishing operation. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable data to create a safer working environment for fishers working on gillnet fishing vessels.

  • Ship's Bunkering Business is one of the essential businesses creating added values of the port as a hub for a stream of the international logistics. Regulatory considerations of ship's bunkering business should be made to create a more relevant system and stabilize the bunkering industry so that the ports may produce more substantial added values. This paper suggests revisions the Harbor Transport Business Act, the Marine Transport Act, putting forward an idea of unifying safety management systems, establishing a guideline for bunker quality managements, and changing the laws regarding any wrongdoings of bunker suppliers. In conclusion, in order to increase the managerial integrity of the bunkering operators, reasonable burdens should be distributed across the government, refinery companies and ship-owners to achieve a more balanced state and enable long-term development to advance the business at issue, following a step-by-step approach to amend the contract practice, the laws and the systems.

  • Majority of marine accidents that occur on fishing vessels are engine accidents. This comprises more than 26 % of the total annual fishing vessel marine accident cases. Large numbers of engine accidents happen in the cooling water system, which are mostly caused by negligence on regular check-up and repair. Notably, small-sized ships have higher engine accidents occurrence rate compared to medium-and large-sized ships. Based on the Report of the Korea Ship Safety Technology Authority, engine accident cases reached 3,032 out of the total 3,081 cases. This study researches on the differences between the small-sized ship pilot, an operator of a vessel engine of less than 200 tons, and a 6th level marine engineer, in terms of the relationship between management forms and what causes the marine accidents in association with the cooling water system. It also studies and analyzes the differences in frequency of the accident occurrence between the two groups. ${\chi}^2$ qualification was imposed through the SPSS statistical analysis program and it got qualified at the significance level of 5%. The research shall be utilized as one of the base line data for the reduction of marine accidents.

  • Pollution contribution rate that is effect on water quality from land based load in Masan bay was showed quantifiably for coastal water quality management by using ecological model. It was calculated by difference of water quality concentration at each points t hat is calculated by each scenarios that are presence or absence of each sources (16 points). Results show that, rivers of Northern Masan bay contributed in Masan bay COD is 20 %, T-P is 62 % at northern part and COD is 10 %, T-P is 16 % at middle part. As a result, rivers of Northern Masan bay had effect on water quality of northern Masan bay and middle Masan bay. Also, T-P load affects water quality bigger than COD load, because T-P contribution rate bigger than COD contribution rate of northern rivers. Dukdong WTTP that is land pollution source of southern Masan bay contributed in Masan bay COD is 26 %, T-P is 11% at middle part, COD is 17 %, T-P is 7 % at middle part and COD is 10 %, T-P is 1 % at outer part. It affects water quality bigger at southern and middle of Masan bay than outer bay, because residual flow of bottom flows toward inner of Masan bay nearby Dukdong WTTP.

  • This paper reviews the analysis of a given scenario according to the Hybrid Model, and why accident causation models are necessary in casualty investigations. The given scenario has been analyzed according to the Hybrid Model using its main five components, fallible decisions, line management, psychological precursors to unsafe acts, unsafe acts, and inadequate defenses. In addition, the differences between the SHEL and the Hybrid Model, and the importance of a safety barrier during an accident investigation, are shown in this paper. One unit of SHEL can be linked with another unit of SHEL. However, it cannot be used for the analysis of an accident. Therefore, we must use an accident causation model, which can be a Hybrid Model. This can explain the "How" and "Why" of accident, so it is a suitable model for analyzing them. During an accident investigation, the reason we focus on a safety barrier is to create another safety barrier or to change an existing safety barrier if that barrier fails. Hence, the paper shows how a sea accident can be investigated, and we propose a preventive way of avoiding the accident through combining the methods of different models for the future.

  • This study focused an water quality response to land-based pollution loads and the appropriate pollutant load reduction in Chinhae Bay using an eco-hydrodynamic model. Land-based discharge foam urban areas, industrial complex and sewage treatment plant was the greatest contributor to cause red-tide blooms and summer hypoxia. Tidal currents velocity af the ebb tide was about 10 cm/s stronger than that of the flood tide. A residual current was simulated to. have a slightly complicated pattern with ranging from 0.1 to. 2.7 cm/s. In Masan Bay, pollutant materials cannot flaw from the inner to the outer bay easily because af residual currents flaw southward at surface and northward at the bottom. The simulation results of COD distribution showedhigh concentrations aver 3 mg/L in the inner part of Masan Bay related pollutant discharge, and charge, and lower levels less than 1.5mg/L in the central part of Chinhae Bay. For improvement water quality in Chinhae Bay, it is necessary to reduce the organic and inorganic loads from paint sources by mare than 50% and ameliorate severe polluted sediment.
