  • Accidents and incidents caused by poor performance in the maritime industry suggest the need to find ways to improve performance in order to operate effectively and improve safety. The data for this study was collected from maritime students and involves the performance and levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Various motivational factors were identified and the ways in which these factors relate to performance was analyzed. The importance of considering motivation when recruiting new trainees and workers, and continually looking for ways to increase intrinsic motivation, is stressed throughout this paper. The results suggest that high levels of good quality motivation correlate positively with better performance.

  • The ratio of the mobility handicapped person is about 25.8% of the total population in Korea(MCT, 2006). In order to prepare for the enforcement of the "Transportation Services Improvement Act for the Mobility Handicapped People"(MCT, 2006), various equipments and installations should be developed to ensure appropriate safety level for the mobility handicapped persons in maritime transportation. While approximately 10 million people are using domestic passenger vessels annually, preferences for maritime transport is very low, especially for the mobility handicapped. This study reviewed a current status of the mobility handicapped person in domestic passenger ship and analysed the improvement plan for them. To investigate the current status of domestic passenger vessel usage by the mobility handicapped, to analysis the requirements for amenities necessary for the mobility handicapped and select the ones to be developed based on the investigated results and to do feasibility study of barrier-free ship.

  • This report introduces a National Vessel Monitoring System(NVMS) within the General Information Center On Maritime Safety and Security(GICOMS) project and a national legislation system for ship's safety management in Korea. We also represent future directions of NVMS in terms of E-Navigation(E-Nav), which is the new study item for COMSAR and NAV that has been adopted from the Maritime Safety Committee(MSC) 81st session. It concludes the future E-Nav system, when it is built, that all functions of NVMS should be used by NVMS controllers as well as mariners, and we should also consider the existing NVMS infrastructure including S/W and H/W.

  • Most of the maritime accidents are the crash that occurred by complex coastal terrain, increased maritime traffic and frequent weather changes. Therefore, transportation safety is exactly determined using accurate environmental informations, but if informations are inaccurate or insufficient, accident risk can be increased. Therefore, ship need the system that can accurately generate transportation safety information. This paper proposes the transportation safety system and performance evaluation in the real environment. The proposed system includes database of environment informations and navigation algorithm using PPP method to estimate the accurate ship position. Therefore, this system can accurately calculate distance or freeboard between ship with other factors. Futhermore, when weather is deteriorated, crew can sail with database based 3-D monitoring module in the transportation safety system. To verify the function and performance, data of Kyungin ARA waterway and ferry is used to evaluation.

  • In 2010 Manila Conference, the revised STCW (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers) of IMO recalled that a large percentage of maritime casualties and pollution incidents are caused by human error. Therefore, education and training improvement will play important role to reduce maritime casualties. From this, we focus on improving safety during sailing through upgrading the education and training for Korean cadets by updating maritime education and training program. In terms of a maritime education program from some of the maritime universities in the world such as United States Merchant Maritime Academy(USMMA) Philippine Merchant Marine Academy(PMMA), are compared to the Maritime University in Korea. As a result, we suggest an effective education system.

  • As GNP increases, many peoples need the seafood with high quality. In Korea, aquaculture is one of major incomes for fishing households and records $50.6\%$ of total incomes for domestic fishery. The loss of aquaculture farm due to thievery at sea increases every year. In this research, we propose the system model for development of radar surveillance system, which protects aquaculture farms. For the proposed system, general requirements are described Our system is cost-effective when it is applied to domestic fishing households.

  • For many years, fatigue was discounted as a potential cause of or contributor to human error. However, resent accident data and research point to fatigue as a cause of and/or contributor to human error precisely because of its impact on performance. The goal of this study is to analyze and examine of the fatigue factors related to human error. In this study, we carried out the questionnaire sw-vey which concerned with the fatigue factors.

  • The design and development if Resonant-type Magnetometer(RM) using isotropic magnetic with high permeability is described in this paper. At first, the relationship between the inductance L if the coil winding on a magnetic material and the permeability u(H) appearing in the magnetic material with isotropic and high permeability is defined as a background theory. Then the circuit if RM, which is to obtain the values if L as the change qf frequency is implemented using simple Schmitt Trigger Circuit Through the swinging tests, which is to evaluate the measurement ability if RM, the measurement possibility for the component of earth field was confined.
