총톤수 5톤 미만 선박의 해기면허 제도 시행에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study is intended to propose a detailed execution plan regarding education and training for ensuring and verifying seafarers’ competence in relation to the introduction of a new small vessel operator certification system for vessel of less than 5 Gross Tonnage(GT). The methods of this study adopted include analysis of statistics of marine accident occurrence rate and causes relating thereto involving vessels of less than 5 GT, questionnaire survey and analysis for seafarers on small vessels and their shipowners and case study of Taiwan, Japan and Canada and literature survey. Together with the introduction of certification system for small vessels of less than 5 GT the seafarers’ training courses need to be differentiated depending upon whether an applicant has seagoing experience or not. The examination for the certificate for small vessel of less than 5 GT need to be conducted concurrently during the period of training courses in order to ensure soft landing of this new certification system. To do this, it is necessary to consider introducing actual ship training as well as training utilizing simulators. The follow-up action such as the revision of relevant laws and regulations, obtaining social consensus, etc. needs to be undertaken in order to implement the result of this study.
