The adjudication of Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal (KMST) was analyzed to collect basic data to identify the cause of the risk that did not appear in the current data provided by the fishermen’s occupational accidents of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative (NFFC) in stow net fishing vessel from 2015 to 2019. The personnel’s carelessness was the most common in 29 out of 33 accidents (87.9%), followed by 25 cases (75.8%) of inadequacy of instructions, 24 cases (72.7%) of inadequacy of education on hazard factor, 20 cases (60.6%) of no personal protection equipment, 18 cases (54.5%) of poor guard, 17 cases (51.5%) of inadequacy of work method, 16 cases (48.5%) of absence of emergency stop button, 14 cases (42.4%) of work practice of poor safety precautions that affected more than 40% of all accidents as accident causes. These causes had a strong influence on each other, and the ratio of accident causes is high. With this relationship, accidents can be prevented or the severity of human injury can be reduced if types of accident process can be estimated with a scenario, and the key points before the accident in the scenario are switched to safe points.

The questionnaire survey was carried out to collect basic data to identify the cause of the risk that did not appear in the current data provided by the fishermen’s occupational accidents of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative (NFFC) to the onsite specialist, such as a fishing master, chief engineer and fisher in stow net fishing vessel from June to July 2018. The results are as follows. A total of 134 cases were surveyed, including 53 cases in Yeosu, 44 cases in Mokpo, 30 cases in Boryeong and 7 cases in Gunsan. Approximately 60% of the respondents on board the stow net fishing vessel were more than 20 years old, and the boarding experience was seasoned and suitable for the respondents. In the 4M analysis by safety accident factor during fishing work, the mechanical factors included 51 cases (25.0%) of decrepit equipment or poor maintenance and 49 cases (24.0%) of systemic error of fishing equipment. The environmental factors exhibited 71 cases (33.5%) of poor communication by mixed manning of foreign fishermen and 63 cases (29.7%) of poor environment such as heavy weather etc. The human factors showed 78 cases (37.3%) of personnel’s carelessness and 45 cases (21.5%) of unskillfulness of operating net and haulers. The management factors exhibited 59 cases (32.1%) of work practice of poor safety precautions and 56 cases (30.4%) of inadequacy of education on hazard factor. The results are expected to contribute to the creation of a safe operating environment for stow net fishery, such as a fisher boarding a stow net fishing vessel, enabling the analysis of major causes of working safety accidents by cause.

Stow net fishery is one of the fishery with high fishing work accidents in southwestern sea of Korea. We conducted to serve as basic data for improving the healthy and safe working environment of fisher using risk assessment process (ISO45001) with fishermen’s occupational accidents of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative (NFFC) from 2016 to 2018. The average occurrence rate of victim in this fishery was 9.04%, 16.7 times more than such rate in all industries. In addition, the average fatality rate was found to have a very serious level management to 31.06‱, 27.7 times more than such rate in all industries. The safety hazards of stow net fishery was more likely to occur by other general industrial groups, with more severe consequences after the accident. According to 4M analysis, 58.6% of all accidents were caused by human factors, 24.0% by environmental factors, 16.0% by mechanical factors, and 1.5% by managerial factors, respectively. The occurrence frequency by accident type was the highest in 187 cases (32.2%) for struck by object, 158 cases (27.2%) for slipping, and 94 cases (16.2%) for being in contact with machinery. Severity is the highest for others such as diseases etc., in the order of being struck by object, being in contact with machinery, falling from above slipping, collapsing, bumping, and burning. Being struck by object, being in contact with machinery, and slipping are high-risk groups, falling from above others, bumping, and burning are medium-risk groups based on the risk assessment using the occurrence frequency and severity of accident. The obtained results are expected to contribute to the safe operation environment subsidy for fishing crews on the stow net fishing vessel.

연근해 어선에서 사용되는 저가이면서 고정도의 GPS 컴퍼스는 위성 신호의 차단 및 선박이 고속 선회시 선수방위의 산출이 불안정해지는 문제점을 지니고 있어 전자자기 컴퍼스를 이용하여 안정된 선수방위 검출이 가능하도록 고안한 하이브리드 GPS-전자자기 컴퍼스를 시작(試作)하여, 그 성능을 평가하고 고찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 스텝모터를 이용한 선회각속도별 실험에서 GPS 컴퍼스는 선회각속도 25˚/sec 이하에서는 1회/sec 씩 0.1˚ 단위로 안정된 선수방위를 검출하였으나, 그 이상의 선회각속도에서는 선수방위를 검출하지 못하였다. 한편, 전자자기 컴퍼스는 선회각속도에 상관없이 항상 선수방위를 나타내었으나, 컴퍼스 오차를 내포하고 있어 GPS 컴퍼스에 비해 정밀도는 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 고정점과 차량으로 이동 중에 하이브리드 GPS-전자자기 컴퍼스의 선수방위 정보를 출력한 결과, GPS 컴퍼스가 정상적으로 작동한 경우에는 GPS 컴퍼스의 선수방위 정보가 출력되고, 그렇지 못할 경우에는 선수방위 정보가 출력되고, 그렇지 못할 경우에는 전자자기 컴퍼스의 선수방위에 컴퍼스 오차를 가감하여 출력됨으로써 선수방위가 안정적으로 제공되었다. 또한, GPS 컴퍼스와 전자자기 컴퍼스에 의한 선수방위의 유사성을 검증하기 위하여, 두 데이터의 이동거리에 대한 선수방위를 이용하여 공분산분석을 행한 결과, 두 컴퍼스의 선수방위는 95%의 신뢰수준으로 유사성이 검증되었다.
