해상테러 위험요소의 구조와 우선순위 분석

전 세계는 테러리스트에 의한 세계무역센터의 공격으로 인해 테러로부터의 안전과 보호를 강화하기 위해 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 본 연구는 해상테러 위험요소의 구조와 우선순위를 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 테러의 유형과 사례를 토대로 브레인스토밍법을 이용하여 해상테러 위험요소를 추출하였고, 퍼지구조모델법을 이용하여 위험요소를 그래프로 구조화 하였으며, 계층분석법을 이용하여 위험요소간의 우선순위를 분석하였다. 그 결과 외부영향이 가장 큰 위험요소인 것으로 나타났다. Since the destruction of World Trade Center the attention of the United States and the wider international community has focussed upon the need to strengthen security and prevent terrorism This paper suggests an analysis prior to risk factor and structure for anti-terrorism in the korean maritime society. For this, in this paper, maritime terror risk factor was extracted by type and case of terror using brainstorming method. Also, risk factor is structured by FSM method and analyzed for ranking of each risk factor by AHP. At the result, the evaluation of risk factor is especially over maximum factor for related external impact.

A Study on the Analysis System of Voyage Data Recorder

According to SOLAS Convention, a voyage data recorder(VDR) is to be fitted onboard ships to assist in the marine casualty investigation However, a review of Korean Maritime Safety tribunal(KMST), shows that the current VDR systems is inconvenient in practical because the storage format of VDR and the casualty reproduction method are different from one manufacturer to another making it economically and timely difficult for the maritime casualty investigation bodies to carry out investigation in a proper manner. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a newly designed VDR Analysis System(VDRAS), which decodes the voyage data of VDR producea by different manufacturers, reproduces the condition at the time of casualty in an accurate, and performs necessary checks.

우리나라 해상 수색ㆍ구조선의 최적배치에 관한 연구

선박이 해상에서 조난을 당했을 경우 인명과 재산 및 해양 환경보호를 위하여 조난자 및 조난선박을 신속히 수색ㆍ구조 함으로써 해양사고로 인한 인적, 물적 피해 및 해양환경의 피해를 최소화 할 필요가 있다. IMO에서 채택한 SAR협약은 우리나라에서는 1995년 발효되었고 국세적으로는 해양경찰청이 SAR협약의 이행기관이 되었다. 해상에서 조난자나 조난선박의 구조 및 발견 가능성은 시간이 경과함에 따라 급속히 감소하기 때문에 SAR임무의 핵심은 효율적인 수색ㆍ구조 계획을 통해 신속하게 생존자를 수색ㆍ구조하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 해양사고가 발생한 경우 구조선이 최단시간 내에 조난현장에 도착 할 수 있는 해상 수색ㆍ구조선 최적배치 모델을 정식화 하였다. 또한 해양경찰청의 구조선의 운용과 기술적인 능력을 고려하여 우리나라 수색 구조 구역을 180개의 소구역으로 나누고 최적배치 위치 및 척수를 구하였으며, 구조선의 합리적인 운용을 위해 추가적으로 소요되는 척수를 산정하였다. The Korea Maritime Police Agency(KMPA) is the national maritime Search and Rescuee (SAR) authority with the responsibility to promote an efficient organization of SAR services and to coordinate the conduct of SAR operations within the Korean Search and Rescue Region(SRR). The maritime SAR operations shall provide an adequate and effective search and rescue services to minimize the loss by rendering aid to persons in distress and property in the marine environment. The essence of a successful search and rescue operation is the speed with which it is planned and carried out because survivors who need assistance and whose chances of survival diminish rapidly with time. This paper aims to propose an optimal allocation model of maritime SAR fleet in view of minimizing the search and rescue time. When maritime accidents occur, rescue units have to reach to the distress scene within the specified time. For this, SAR units must be redeployed to an advanced base so that Rescue Units(RU) can reach to the scene of distress in the shortest possible time. The Korean maritime SRR is divided into 180 sub-areas in consideration of an operational and technical ability of SAR units. The suggested model is verified through an empirical application to the Korean maritime SRR. And also the Rescue Vessels(RV) required is estimated for each Rescue Co-ordination Center(RCC).

Centering the King of Chosŏn: Aspects of Korean Maritime Diplomacy, 1392–1592

In diplomatic settings, the King of Chosŏn Korea showed different faces to different people between 1392 and 1592. The monarch looked toward the Emperor of Ming China as a status inferior and acted as a status equal with rulers of Japan and Ryukyu. In a recasting of the Chinese precept that diplomacy should not be conducted with subjects, he sat upon the throne as status superior to Japanese and Ryukyuans who had been permitted or denied tributary relationships. And he was the “sovereign” before Japanese and Jurchen “subjects” upon whom he had bestowed nominal appointments to military posts. Each posture necessitated a complex of policies, regulations, rites, and practices, including concealment of the tributary from imperial view.

Restructuring of the economy and its impacts on the Korean maritime industry

The Korean government has made many efforts to repair the damage done by the financial crisis since November 1997. The restructuring programmes for the Korean economy, including chaebols' (i.e. family-controlled conglomerates) restructuring, have impacted in many ways on the shipping, shipbuilding and port sectors. This is because major shipping lines, shipyards, and recent privatization and operation of container terminals have closely been related to chaebols. This paper is concerned with the impacts of the Korean financial crisis on the shipping, shipbuilding, and port sector, with restructuring of the economy and chaebols.
