개발도상국에서 해양대학의 설립과 우수한 해기사의 양성은 해당 국가의 해양산업발전에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 한국의 해양산업발전에 도전을 받은 케냐 정부에 의해 케냐해양대학의 설립을 위한 프로젝트가 추진되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 케냐해양대학을 위한 항해학과 교과과정을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 케냐의 환경을 조사하였고, 이어서 IMO 해기교육요건, 모델코스 및 세계 주요 해양대학의 항해학과 교과과정을 검토하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 케냐해양대학 항해학과 교과과정을 개발하였다. 개발된 교과과정은 승선실습 1년을 포함하여 총 5년이 소요되는 과정이며, 총 200학점(매학기 20학점)을 이수하도록 되어 있다. 이 교과과정은 비록 케냐의 환경에 맞추어 개발된 것이지만, 국제적으로 표준화된 해기교육의 특성상 다른 국가의 유사한 연구에도 좋은 참고가 될 것으로 기대된다.

현재 항로표지시설에 대한 객관적 지표 및 평가기준에 따른 적정성 및 효용성 등 사후평가는 설치 이후 항만 운영 중 변경될 수 있는 위험요소 및 환경 변화를 고려하여 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 항로표지시설에 대한 객관적 지표를 설계하여 모든 항로표지시설에 공통된 평가기준 및 분석모델을 적용하여 환경 및 항만 여건 변화에 따른 적정성 및 효용성을 분석할 필요성을 인식하고, 이 연구에서는 우선적으로 항로표지시설 중 전국 37기가 운영 중인 유인등대를 중심으로 20개의 기능평가 지표를 설계하고 적용하였다. 객관적 평가지표에 따라 기능평가 후 계층분석과정(AHP, Analytic Hierarchy Process) 기법을 통해 항만 운영의 특성, 국가정책, 전문가 의견 등을 반영하였으며, 항로표지시설의 특수성 평가를 위해 리커트척도(Likert scale)를 적용하여 사후평가 하였다. 효용성분석 결과 전체 37기 중 영도등대, 가거도등대, 거문도등대, 죽변등대의 기능 및 효용성이 높은 것으로 분석되었으며, 울릉도등대, 가사도등대, 송대말등대, 울기등대의 경우 세부적인 적정성분석이 이루어질 필요가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 항로표지시설 효용성분석은 항로표지시설의 관리체계의 효율성 향상, 항로표지의 재배치 및 정책결정을 위한 기초자료 등으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

NSS (Navigation satellite system) provides the information for determining the position, velocity and time of users in real time using satellite-networking, and is classified into GNSS (Global NSS) and RNSS (Regional NSS). Although GNSS services for global users, the exactitude of provided information is dissatisfied with the degree required in modern systems such as unmanned system, autonomous navigation system for aircraft, ship and others, air-traffic control system. Especially, due to concern about the monopoly status of the countries operating it, some other countries have already considered establishing RNSS. The RNSS services for users within a specific area, however, it not only gives more precise information than those from GNSS, but also can be operated independently from the NSS of other countries. Thus, for Korean RNSS, this paper suggests the methodology to design the satellite constellation considering the regional features of Korean Peninsula. It intends to determine the orbits and the arrangement of navigation satellites for minimizing PDOP (Position dilution of precision). PGA (Parallel Genetic Algorithm) geared to solve this nonlinear optimization problem is proposed and STK (System tool kit) software is used for simulating their space flight. The PGA is composed of several GAs and iterates the process that they search the solution for a problem during the pre-specified generations, and then mutually exchange the superior solutions investigated by each GA. Numerical experiments were performed with increasing from four to seven satellites for Korean RNSS. When the RNSS was established by seven satellites, the time ratio that PDOP was measured to less than 5 (i.e. better than ‘Good’ level on the meaning of the PDOP value) was found to 94.3% and PDOP was always kept at 10 or less (i.e. better than ‘Moderate’ level).

선박의 입항 및 출항 등에 관한 법률에는 주로 무역항의 수상구역에서 운항 하는 선박으로서 다른 선박의 진로를 피하여야 하는 선박을 우선피항선으로 정 의하고 있다. 우선피항선은 과거 개항질서법상 잡종선의 명칭을 변경한 것이다. 이는 우선피항선의 정의 규정에 피항의무를 명확히 부여함으로서 법률 해석상 의 혼란을 방지하고 선박교통의 안전을 강화하기 위함이다. 그러나 법 개정 취지와 다르게 우선피항선의 개념과 관련 항법을 실무에 적용할 경우 해석상 어려움을 초래하고 있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 현행 법률상 우선피항선의 개념과 항법 규정을 검토하였고, 해양안전심판원의 관련 재결사 례를 고찰하였다. 이를 중심으로 우선피항선에 대한 항법 적용시 문제점과 개 선방안을 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 첫째, 우선피항선을 결정하기 위한 기준으로 규정된 ‘주로 무역항의 수상구 역에서 운항하는 선박으로서’라는 단서 조항은 법해석상 문제가 있기 때문에 ‘무역항의 수상구역에서’로 개정하여 개념을 명확하게 정의하여야 한다. 둘째, 우선피항선의 적용범위인 소형선박을 효과적으로 식별하기 위한 방안으로 ‘총 톤수 20톤 미만의 선박’을 ‘길이 20미터 미만의 선박’으로 개정하여야 한다. 끝 으로, 우선피항선이 부담하는 항법상 의무는 해사안전법상 ‘조종제한선’인 경우 에 한하여 의무의 부담을 제외하는 예외조항의 신설이 필요하다.

The full application and benefits of e-Navigation, as a whole, cannot yet fully be known. Technological developments will continuously change the course of national and international initiatives in the field, and lead the pace of the evolution. However, how countries govern and support the development of e-Navigation is very much within the realm of control. National-level e-navigation governance structures that are capable of harnessing innovation and supporting the needs of mariners will help ensure that the only limits to the evolution of e-navigation are technological. The aim of this paper is to describe a model for National-level e-Navigation structures, and to offer the Canadian model as an example for potential replication in other countries. The scope of the paper is limited, providing an account of the steps to implement the e-Navigation model in the Canadian context. The methodology is similarly humble, outlining the framework of the Canadian e-Navigation Concept of Operations, and current e-Navigation priorities. It is the basis for this model that is the keystone to the paper. The Canadian model was developed in a way that ideas, innovation and needs in Canada are not wholly determined by the government, but rather, the government aims to act as a facilitator and guide in bringing together disparate needs and ideas under a harmonized approach. The conclusion proposed is that on-going work with key partners and stakeholders can be used as the primary mechanism to identify e-Navigation related innovation and needs, and to prioritize next steps. Moving forward in Canada, implementation of new e-navigation services will continue to be stakeholder driven, and used to drive improvements to Canada’s marine navigation system.

It is clearly understood that the main benefits of e-navigation are improved safety and better protection of the environment through the promotion of standards of navigational system and a reduction in human error. In order to meet the expectations on the benefit of e-navigation, enavigation services should be more focused on non-SOLAS ships. The purpose of this paper is to present necessary e-navigation services for non-SOLAS ships in order to prevent marine accidents in Korean coastal waters. To meet the objectives of the study, an examination on the present navigation and communication system for non-SOLAS ships was performed. Based on the IMO’s e-navigation Strategy Implementation Plan (SIP) and Korea’s national SIP for e-navigation, future trends for the development and implementation of e-navigation were discussed. Consequently, Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) download and ENC up-date service, ENC streaming service, route support service and communication support service based on Maritime Cloud were presented as essential e-navigation services for non-SOLAS ships. This study will help for the planning and designing of the Korean e-navigation system. It is expected that the further researches on the navigation support systems based on e-navigation will be carried out in order to implement the essential e-navigation services for non-SOLAS ships.

The scope of this paper is implementation issues of the e-Navigation concept of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). IMO has adopted the e-Navigation strategic implementation plan (SIP) in 2014. This plan, i.a., bases on estimating the effect of e-Navigation applications on reducing navigational accidents, including collisions and groundings of ships falling under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) by approximately 65 per cent. However, IMO Member States are responsible for safety of navigation and efficient vessel traffic at international but also on national levels. Regarding the introduction of new concepts and innovative systems into vessel traffic there is a need to comprehensively assess potential effects not only for SOLAS ships but also for non-SOLAS ships. This paper aims at a more comprehensive and theoretically sounded estimation of e-Navigation potentials by investigating and applying IMO’s methodology for quantification of those effects also to the implementation of e-Navigation solutions to ships not falling under the SOLAS convention (non-SOLAS ships). The authors carried out a case study using the SMART-Navigation concept of Korea as model case for impact assessment. For the mentioned purpose, this paper identifies main tool kits of IMO e- Navigation, proposes and applies a set of formulas to comprehensively assess and quantify effects of new functions or services based on IMO’s methodological approaches. From gained results authors suggest investigations not only taking into account expert opinions but also simulation trials to identify factors and coefficients for thorough calculations. From the results the authors conclude and recommend to extend the impact assessment of e-Navigation also to vessel traffic involving non-SOLAS ships as a general and global recommendation to coastal states. Further, results are provided as a potential model case for IMO Member States’ reference for their statespecific individual situation and conditions.

Regarding warships, customary rules on innocent passage and freedom of navigation codified in the UNCLOS are far from being settled among State Parties. FONOPs impose the US understanding of rules on passage and navigation in each and every sea area, forcefully implementing deregulation in order for the US to create a navyfriendly environment for its worldwide mission. By implementing another agenda of carrying out the new US policy of “Pivot to Asia,” the FONOPs in the South China Sea challenge the very heart of China’s sovereignty, and may bring about adverse effect to the process of peaceful settlement of territorial issues and maritime disputes in the South China Sea region. China believes the US FONOPs in the South China Sea are offensive to its sovereignty. Moreover, their adverse effect to the process of peaceful settlement of territorial issues and maritime disputes in the South China Sea region cannot be ignored.

The USS Lassen’s October 2015 South China Sea freedom of navigation operation was exemplary in some respects and cautionary in others. This article argues the Lassen’s mission to sail within 12 nautical miles of one of China’s artificial islands was a successful albeit exploratory challenge because the operation has helped to clarify maritime claims in the region and garnered international support for continued operations. This paper examines the US Freedom of Navigation Program’s broader goals of benefiting the international community with a rules-based system. It also argues that increased transparency is essential if these goals are to be achieved. This article analyzes China’s unclarified claims in the South China Sea and explores the concept of “psycho-legal boundaries” in relation to the so-called nine-dash line. It concludes by presenting suggestions for plotting a proper path forward for FONOPs in the region with an emphasis on protecting the marine environment.

There are approximately 116 straits used for international navigation around the world. Some of them are important international maritime chokepoints, namely the Dover Strait, Hormuz Strait, Straits of Malacca and Singapore and the Russian straits across the Northeast Arctic Passage. Due to the high number of navigational traffic going through these straits, vessel-source pollution is endemic in these waters. This article examines the applicable international legal framework on protection of the marine environment of straits used for international navigation such as Part XII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other related legal measures like International Maritime Organization conventions on protection of the marine environment. This article concludes by stating that the present framework is not sufficient in properly balancing two vital interests in the maritime world – protection of the marine environment vis-à-vis shipping.

본 연구는 여수에서 출항하여 백도와 도서문화가 살아있는 거문도를 거쳐 제주 김녕항으로 이어지는 해양관광 크루즈 세일링요트 항로를 제안하였다. 최근 해양레저 활성화에 비례하여 안전사고도 늘어나고 있으며, 세일링 요트의 특성을 고려한 안전항로 개척은 지역별, 해역별로 조사되어야 한다. 따라서 거문도의 사례를 통해 분석해 보면 해양문화의 소개, 국제요트대회유치, 다기능항으로 개발 등이 필요하고, 특히 해당 항로의 운항패턴과 밀집도 분석 등이 추가로 도출되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 정보는 세일링 요트의 운항 안전율을 높여 지역 관광산업에 도움이 될 것이다.
