Estimating Accident Reduction Rate after Maritime Traffic Safety Assessment Using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique and Machine Learning Algorithm

This study was focused on deriving the MTSA-related accident reduction rate (ARR) required to calculate the safety benefits before and after expanding the scope of the system. By performing spatial analysis using geographic information system technology, MTSA-related accidents were identified on maritime routes near both assessed and unassessed project sites from 2010 to 2014. Subsequently, by applying the synthetic minority oversampling technique to balance the data, the algorithm learned from the random forest using the operational data of coastal passenger ship operations and accident data near unassessed locations where MTSA is not implemented. Then, the trained model was applied to predict accident occurrence in the absence of MTSA near the latest operational information of coastal passenger ship operations at the assessed project sites. The MTSA-related ARR was then calculated by applying the actual accident occurrences during operation near the assessed project sites where MTSA was implemented. The MTSA-marine ARR calculated at 17.41% can be applied to the calculation of safety benefit for MTSA. The results of this study can provide quantitative evidence for the application of higher-level systems considering the burden on regulatory targets when improving MTSA or similar systems.

해양 수색구조 정보전달체계 개선 방안

From after the sinking of the Sewol ferry in 2014, ship accidents such as the sinking of small fishing boats have continued, leading to casualties. If the information delivery system is strengthened during the maritime search and rescue process after a ship accident, the loss of life will be reduced. The first way to strengthen maritime search and rescue information delivery systems is to use drones. When using drones, the search video can be shared in real time, and command-and-rescue operations can be effective. The second is the placement of VHF radio facilities. When the VHF radio station is installed in the general situation room in the Regional Headquarters of Korea Coast Guard, direct communication with the ship will be possible if necessary. Finally, it is suggested that the control of coastal passenger ships be expanded during the entire voyage from departure to arrival. Currently, however, passenger ships are controlled only within the vessel traffic service control area. If this information delivery system is improved, large-scale human casualties can be prevented.

연안여객선 안전공영제 도입을 위한 정책적 제언

After the Sewol Ferry disaster, various physical and human regulatory framework such as revision of related laws and regulations and innovation of operation manager system have been strengthened and financial support system were prepared to improve the safety of coastal passenger ships. However, despite many of these institutional improvements and financial support decisions, the safe operation of coastal passenger ships is not guaranteed. This study was carried out to find one promising way to ensure the safe operation of coastal passenger ships. As a result of the study, it was concluded that “there is a need for the introduction of Safety Public Service System of Coastal Passenger Ships.” The Safety Public Service System proposed in this study is a system in which the government bears or supports some or all of the costs in order to ‘promote the safety of the people’ and ‘promote the people’s right to move’ using coastal passenger ships. Thus, it is thought that there is a need to enact a separate special law for the Safety Public Service System. The reason for this is first, where relevant individual laws and regulations are revised little by little to make the legal base, there could be a great possibility that the legislative purpose would not clearly come out and it would not work properly in reality. Therefore the process of clearly declaring the legislative purpose and the purpose of the ‘Safety Public Service System’ through enacting a special law is necessary.Second, there are many concepts needing an accurate definition thereof in the ‘Safety Public Service System’. Concepts such as 'safety', 'safety public service system', 'safety cost', etc. can be sociologically explained, but legally, these are terms requiring precise definition. Therefore, unless relevant terminologies are separately arranged in the existing Marine Transportation Act and Harbor Act, etc., when they suddenly appear in individual articles, there is a great risk that they may not be properly interpreted or narrowly reduced in the enforcement decree or ordinance. In particular, in the case of items accompanying the budget, and the scope of the subject is not clearly defined in the law, it is highly likely to become meaningless concept in reality. Thus, it is necessary to clarify the definition of the concept in a separate special law. Third, in the extension of the recent discussion on constitutional amendments, which emphasized the state's constitutional obligations to ensure individuals' right to safety, the National Assembly and the government, which are components of the state, should clearly declare their willingness to ensure safety of the people internally and externally. Furthermore, from the point of view of making it clear that the State is faithfully fulfilling its responsibility for a safe society, it is thought that enacting a special law for the introduction of the ‘Safety Public Service System’ of coastal passenger ships rather than revising individual laws is a more reasonable way. The budget required to implement this system is approximately KRW 24.1 billion per year. By creating the Safety Public Service System it is worth implementing and enforcing in the viewpoint of a single large-scale coastal passenger ship disaster can be prevented. Today, securing the people's right to safety is recognized as a role that should be given the highest priority among the national responsibilities. Therefore, it is thought that the introduction of the Safety Public Service System to promote the safe operation of coastal passenger ships and the national financial support required for its implementation are meaningful in terms of fulfilling the national responsibility for the Sewol Ferry disaster.

Research of the possibilities of the development of cruise tourism in the Black Sea regions of Russia

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the centralized system of organizing tourism, excursion activities, hotel services, coastal sea passenger traffic ceased to exist. The company "Yalta Travel and Excursion Bureau",which organized excursions around the Crimea at the highest level, and also trained qualified guides, was closed. With the collapse of the all-Union system "Intourist", the training of highly qualified personnel of guide-interpreters with professional knowledge of foreign languages has practically ceased. The Yalta commercial seaport has practically lost the function of the main organizer of sea coastal and intercity passenger transportation (until 1991, about 40 passenger boats of the port operated during summer navigation. In the past, in 2020, there were only three ships). Private companies began to enter the market, which in the process of conquering market segments and competition have lost many achievements in tourism and excursion activities (including maritime ones). Today, many coastal passenger excursion routes are forgotten. Nevertheless, today's opportunities for organizing sea travel have significant potential.

ROLE OF WATER TRANSPORT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN THE NORTHERN BLACK SEA OF UKRAINE

The article is devoted to water transport and its role in the tourism sector. Water transport is one of the oldest forms of transport and remained the most important until the advent of transcontinental railways in the second half of the 19th century. It plays a huge role in the tourism sector and is used quite actively. The most significant advantages are a high level of comfort, a large volume of one-time loading of ships, the possibility of implementing various types and purposes of tourism (educational, business tourism, educational, shop tourism).
 The main type of sea and river transportation in tourism is cruises - travel in a vicious circle with radial trips from ports to the interior regions of countries. The main activity of water transport is to meet the needs of people in passenger transportation, as well as the demand for recreation during a sea trip.
 More than 25 years ago from Odessa it was easy to quickly and inexpensively get to anywhere in the Black Sea; a powerful fleet of passenger hydrofoils successfully competed with trains and aircraft throughout the Northern Black Sea region. By the beginning of the 1980s, hydrofoils "Kometa" and "Kolkhida" sailed from Odessa to Kherson, Kakhovka, Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, and also towards Crimea – to Skadovsk, Evpatoria, Sevastopol, Yalta, Kerch, Novorossiysk and Sochi. "Comets" and "Colchis" covered the distance along the Odessa – Kherson line in 2 hours and 40 minutes, in contrast to automobile transport – 4 hours, which was much more comfortable and faster. And boats and sea trams running along the coast of the Odessa Gulf, from Kryzhanovka to Chernomorka, were one of Odessa's calling cards from the post-war times until the 1990s, when the history of Odessa sea trams and hydrofoils ended.
 Sea transport and water travel play a huge role in the tourism sector all over the world, therefore their revival is an integral part in the development and modernization of the tourism sector of the Northern Black Sea region. In the 2000s and 2010s, there were attempts to revive coastal passenger shipping in the Black Sea, but not as successful. The main obstacle to the return of high-speed coastal passenger shipping to Odessa is the seasonality and dependence on the weather, which makes water transport not as stable as the railway. Despite this, "Rockets" and "Komets" do not have competition in speed with any bus and railway on such river and sea directions as Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Izmail, etc. Moreover, it will serve the development of domestic and foreign tourism.

내항해운 경쟁력 확보 및 내항상선 해기사 수급 안정화 방안 연구

According to the Korea Seafarer’s Statistical Year Book, 55.3%(4,484) of officers and ratings in the coastal ships reached age 60 or older in 2019, and the average age of seafarers in coastal ships are passing over the line of super-aged society. Despite the support through the modernization of projects for coastal ships, the modernization fund of coastal passenger ships, the secondary conservation projects for coastal ships, the reductions and exemption of registration tax, acquisition tax, property tax, etc., for coastal ships under the Cabotage system by Article 6 of the Ship Act(Prohibition of Foreign Ships from Calling at Closed Ports and Transportation between Domestic Ports), the working conditions of coastal ships have not been improved because of limitations in effectiveness, and due to this, which has led to the super-aging of seafarers on coastal merchant ships. Against this backdrop, this paper proposed measures to secure competitiveness of coastal shipping and stabilize supply and demand of ship officers on coastal merchant ships by first identifying problems on seafarers, analyzing medium and long term supply and demand prospects, and conducting overseas case studies to prevent the collapse of coastal shipping.

A Study on Speed Control Method of Propulsion Motor for Small Ships with AFE Converter

Research of electric propulsion system have been conducted to minimize the occurrence of marine environmental pollution and maintenance costs in small ships such as coastal passenger ships, cruise ships and fishing boats. Speed control methods induction motor that are widely used in large electric propulsion ships has low control characteristics in the low speed range, and therefore, the performance of the steering is very deteriorated in ships with a large number of the entry and departure of port. Therefore, in this paper, the vector control algorithm with the AFE rectifier is applied to induction motor and speed control performance at low speed range has been improved. and it was verified through computer simulation using PISM program.
