This research carried out a study on the job characteristics of the skipper of the coastal composite fishing vessels in order to find a way to prevent the ship collision caused by the highest human error among the marine casualty of fishing boats. Video observation was used as the research method in which six CCD cameras were installed on the vessel to collect image data and data extracted from the image were analyzed to derive the results of the functional activity of skipper according to the fishing operation process of experimental fishing vessel. The results are as follows. The working process of the experimental fishing vessel consisted of navigation for fishing ground, setting line, waiting for hauling line, hauling line and navigation to homeport. In these processes, the skipper was performing watchkeeping in the wheelhouse in which he carried out a single task, a dual task that performed two tasks simultaneously, and a triple task that performed two or more tasks simultaneously. In addition, one of the risk factors causing the collision was a no watchkeeping in the wheelhouse for navigating for fishing ground, waiting for hauling line, and hauling line at 25.4%, 64.6% and 0.3%, respectively among the marine casualty while drowsiness caused 1.2% of the marine casualty in navigating for fishing ground. Concurrent tasks that simultaneously perform two or more tasks that can overlook any other important duties while carrying out watchkeeping in the wheelhouse include 51.3% of navigation for fishing ground, 81.9% of setting line, 19.0% of waiting for hauling line, 87.9% of hauling, and 88.7% of navigation to homeport. The above concurrent tasks yielded an average of 66.1%. Experimental fishing vessels are required to focus on ship handling operations related to fishery operations, and the skipper is assigned more activities and attention to fishery related tasks. Therefore, it is considered desirable to build a collision prevention system that is appropriate to the characteristics of the skipper’s work, escaping from transferring the responsibility of ship collision to the skipper completely.

The coastal composite fishery has the highest rate of around 30.0% in registered fishing vessels of Korea for the last three years. The risk analysis for the fisher’s safety of coastal composite fishing vessels was conducted to serve as a basic data for improving the healthy and safe working environment of fisher using fisher’s occupational accidents of the national federation of fisheries cooperatives (NFFC) from 2016 to 2018 (n = 1,105). As a result, the occupational accident occurrence rate of coastal composite fishery was 3.76% in all industries, 7.8 times the rate of that. In addition, death and missing rate was found to have a serious level management to 10.10‱. Among the accidents, 76.0% occurred at sea. The slipping, others and contact with machinery or fishing gear occurred more frequently in order in the frequency of accident occurrence pattern. In the risk assessment using frequency and severity, slipping, contact with machinery and others showed high risk during fishing. The results are expected to contribute to identification and assessment of safety hazard occurred in coastal composite fishing vessels.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the fishing grounds of trawl fishery, which are operating in the waters around Jeju Island, and to investigate the monthly shifting changes of the explored fishing grounds. Information on AIS of fishing vessels operating near Jeju Island was collected and analyzed from October 16, 2016 to October 16, 2017. Thus, the location of fishing vessels with the same operational characteristics as those in this industry was extracted and displayed on Google Maps' location drawings to analyze the dense distribution of fishing vessels according to the frequency of their appearance. In the distribution of fishing vessels that appeared in October, a wide range of fishing grounds connecting the upper and lower waters of the 221 and 222 sea of fishing area was found to have gradually expanded and increased density, showing the widest range and highest density in December, and then gradually decreasing from January 2017 to near extinction in May. The distribution of fishing vessels that appeared in the left and lower waters of the 243 sea estuary increased not only in November and December, but also in the appearing sea areas gradually moved to the 242 sea and the range of their appearance was extended to the 241 sea. In other words, the highly dense fishing area in December indirectly shows that it is winter fishing grounds for these industries. The distribution of these dense fishing vessels gradually moved north and west with each passing day, reducing their density and reaching a near extinction in August. However, in September, the density was gradually restored again. Fishing vessels that appeared in high density in the northern waters of the 224 sea east of the Yeoseo island in December were thought to be fishing vessels, whose density decreased over time, almost disappeared in May, and reappeared in July and August, showing a certain degree of density, and then decreased again.

우리나라 해역에서 발생하는 해양사고 중 어선사고가 약 70%를 차지하고 있음에도 불구하고, 대부분의 연구는 해양사고 전체를 대상으로 하고 있으며 단순히 사고 발생률에 대한 분석과 사고 발생 빈도를 줄이기 위한 대책 마련에 중점을 두고 있다. 그러나 효과적인 사고 저감 대책의 수립과 이를 실행하기 위해서는 정량적인 사고 위험도 예측 및 평가가 반드시 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 해양안전심판원의 최근 5년간의 어선사고 통계에 근거하여 9가지 사고유형에 대한 위험도를 연도별로 비교하였다. 또한 현재 우리나라의 경우 객관적인 위험도 평가기준이 없다는 점을 고려하여 이에 대한 대안으로 사고 유형별 사고 빈도와 사고 피해의 조합을 4사분면 상에 표시하는 2차원 사고 빈도-피해 매트릭스를 제안하고 이를 이용하여 사고 빈도와 사고 피해의 영향을 쉽게 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 이러한 과정을 통한 위험도 평가 결과는 저감대책을 수립하고 안전대책을 마련하는 정책 제안자로 하여금 보다 다양하고 현실적인 사고 저감 대책을 마련하는데 도움을 줄 것이다. 또한 위험도 평가 매트릭스를 이용하여 각 사고유형에 대한 인적오류를 포함한 사고 원인의 상대적인 빈도 및 결과를 비교함으로써 사고 유형별로 원인에 따른 차별화된 위험 저감 대책을 수립할 수 있다.

국내에서 배스낚시는 하나의 해양레저 스포츠로서 자리매김하고 있다. 국내 배스 낚시협회는 총 4곳이 있으며 각 협회당 매년 10~15회의 토너먼트 대회를 개최하는 등 수요가 높은 편이다. 그러나 국내 대회에서 선호되는 17ft 이상 급의 배스보트의 경우 현재 100 % 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해외실적선 자료를 바탕으로 통계분석을 통해 18.5ft급 경기용 배스보트의 초기 선형 개발을 위한 주요제원을 도출하였다. 또한 활주선의 저항 및 활주성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 선저경사각 및 종방향 무게중심에 따른 CFD 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 경우, 설계 속도인 Fn=3.284(Re=9.858×107)에 대해서 수행하였고, 선저 경사각은 12~20°, 종방향 무게중심은 부력중심으로부터 선미방향으로 0~8%LWL의 범위로 설정하였다. 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로, 1차적으로 저항성능과 침수용골 길이를 바탕으로 범위를 설정한 후, Savitsky의 Drag-Lift ratio의 상관그래프를 이용하여 최적 트림각에 근접한 선저경사각(14~16°), 종방향 무게중심위치(4~6%LWL)의 범위를 도출하였다.

대한민국 정부는 해양사고 예방 및 해양안전 확보를 위해 지속적으로 법제도를 개선하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 최근 해양사고는 계속적으로 증가하고 있어, 그동안 정부의 해양안전관련 법제도 개선방안 실효성은 미흡했음을 시사하고 있다. 최근 해양사고의 발생현황을 살펴보면, 전체 해양사고 건수 중 총톤수 10톤 미만의 소형어선이 차지하는 비중은 5년(’13~’17년)평균의 44.9%를 차지하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 해양사고 비중이 높은 소형어선의 해양안전 확보방안을 모색하기 위해, 관련 국내외 법제도의 현황과 특징을 조사 및 분석하였다. 그 결과, 국내 소형어선 관련 법제도는 어선과 비어선의 관련법이 통합(’97)되고 분법(’09)된 이력에 따라 접목교잡(接木交雜)의 현상을 보이고 있으며, 제도의 개선방안은 안전설비의 비치강화라는 단편적인 개선만 이루어 졌다는 문제점이 식별되었다. 또한, 해외 관련 법제도에서는 어선 소유자 및 운항자의 책임강화 및 자율검사제도 도입 등의 특징이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 이를 바탕으로 국내 해양안전 확보를 위해 실효성 있는 소형어선 법제도 개선방안을 제시하였다.

The ocean is very important to mankind for its infinite value in resource storage and utilization. In shallow coastal waters, landfill as well as pollution damage occurs frequently for the promotion of important public and private projects that are the driving forces of national development. In this case, compensation paid for the loss or damage of fishing rights acquired by the fishing community shall be distributed to each individual of the fishing community in accordance with the appropriate balance. In reality, as fishing communities in different sectors coexist, the voting rights of the general meeting of fishing communities are ignored as a minority, and the demand for the rights is ignored by the majority. Many other industries receive fish compensation, even though they have not suffered much damage. As a result serious conflicts between the individuals of the fishing community have caused social problems. Therefore, similar cases are investigated and analyzed to provide a reasonable solution.

The fishing vessel buyback program, that is, the project of fishing vessel reduction is a complex challenge that needs to take into consideration for both fishing resource protection and industrial restructuring. By the way, the fishing vessel buyback program in Korea is still poorly fruitful and there are few applications for the project in the country. For example, the buyback program of this nation has some problems like uncertainly set goals, conflicts among targets, no flexibility in the program implementation, low participation in the project and lack in follow-up actions. To solve these problems, this study offers the following alternatives. First, it is setting up detailed targets for fishing vessel buyback. Those targets should be what can be actually driven under policy support, such as reduction in illegal fishing, decrease in an exact number of fishing vessels and decline in fishing capacity rather than what seem to be comprehensive such as protection of coastal or offshore fishery and industrial restructuring. Second, it is taking measures for the livelihood of those who would face disadvantages due to fishing vessel reduction. Those measures providing or supporting the re-education and re-employment of fishery workers and building up systems that help the workers transfer fishing to another job. Third, it is adopting the governance system that overcomes lacks in communications between the fishing vessel buyback program and improves the performance effectiveness of that program. Here, governance means that businesses and authorities concerned in the program interact and cooperate with one another in making and implementing policies related to the project of fishing vessel reduction and assessing the results of that project. Fourth, it is taking actions for fishery reorganization after the fishing vessel buyback program. Factors that can be considered as those actions include supporting fishery workers’ cost of fishing vessel reduction, decreasing and modernizing fishing fleets and improving the quality of fishing equipment. In conclusion, the fishing vessel buyback program should be prepared with comprehensive actions or measures that can cope well with a variety of problems that may be arisen from it while keeping itself on the track of its original goals.

Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUUF) is a complex problem because IUUF perpetrators not only have fisheries management issues, but also commit other crimes. This phenomenon raises further academic analysis of crime in fisheries at domestic and international levels. Indonesia has experienced different events leading to addressing crimes related to fisheries, which initially came from IUUF practices. To achieve legal certainty, crimes in fisheries issues must be separated from IUUF because IUUF is a matter under the mandate of FAO and crime in fishery is under the mandate of UNODC. Many have mixed IUUF and crimes in fishery in one basket, making the matter confusing from legal and practical point of view. At the domestic level, there must be a regulatory framework recognizing the linkage between fisheries and criminal activities At the international level, meanwhile, there must be an international cooperation through existing frameworks such as Mutual Legal Assistance.

In order to manage and rebuild fishery resources, the fishing effort should be controlled effectively. Especially in the setting up of the proper level of fishing efforts, economic standards as well as biological standards must be carefully considered to promote the sustainable and economically viable development of fisheries. This study is aimed to estimate optimal fishing effort of giant octopus by combo fishing which uses longline in Gangwon with statistical data. The result showed that current fishing effort is 28% higher than EMEY. Unit fishing cost for each voyage will be 27% lower and unit fishing profit will be 17% higher than the current situation when the fishing effort meets EMEY. Although current fishing effort is similar to the EMSY, current catching is 16% higher than MSY and 22% higher than MEY.

We conducted a questionnaire survey to analyze the current status of the coastal composite fisheries, as well as the improvement point in designing a new type coastal composite fishing boat suitable for Korean fishing environments from April to August 2017. The questionnaire composed of 20 questions about the features of the coastal composite fishing boat and fishing work. The survey sites were selected to cover all parts of the country by considering the geographical position. The significance testing for the response results was accessed by  test and ANOVA. The results revealed that more than half (59.1%) of the fishermen operated one day per voyage and operating alone topped with 22.5% in the number of crews, followed by 2 persons (20.3%) and 5 persons (22.1%). The navigation devices had a high rate of installation and GPS plotter ranked first in the devices. In addition, fish finder ranked first in fishing equipment, followed by net hauler. The most inconvenient work that they felt during the fishing operation was fish handing at 49.8% and other general fishing works like setting and hauling line, deck cleaning accounted for about 25%. The hardest work was the accident by ropes wrapped around propeller and the engine trouble came in second. The most inconvenient facilities to the present design of fishing boat was wheelhouse (76.7%), followed by fish hold (38.5%), and deck (35.1%). Furthermore, inconvenient points related to the movement of fishing gear, noise and vibration of engine, slippery deck and small fish hold exceeded 50%.

The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the influence of the netting hanging ratio on fishing performance of gillnet. A total of six tests was carried out using three kinds of gillnets with different horizontal hanging ratios (0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) on the basis commercial gillnet of mesh size of 60 mm used in Yeosu Dolsan. As a result of the test fishing operation, catches of the net with hanging ratio 0.3 and the shortest float length was 1.34 times larger than the net with hanging ratio 0.7. The caught species in experimental testes was lager in the net with hanging ratio 0.3 than the net with hanging ratio 0.7. The catch rate per unit area (CPUE) is on the silver croaker with the largest catches in tests as follows. The net with hanging ratio 0.3 net was 89.45 g/m2, hanging ratio 0.5 net was 41.63 g/m2, and hanging ratio 0.7 net was 24.50 g/m2. The net with hanging ratio 0.3 (float line length of 45 m) exhibited the largest CPUE value.

“어로에 종사하고 있는 선박”이란 그물, 낚싯줄, 트롤망, 그 밖에 조종성능을 제한하는 어구(漁具)를 사용하여 어로(漁撈) 작업을 하고 있는 선박을 말한다. 그러나 그동안 해양안전심판원에서는 사고 당시 선박이 조업 중 혹은 조업을 위하여 항행 중이었던 특정 경우에 “어로에 종사하고 있는 선박”으로서의 항법상 지위를 인정할 것인지 여부를 두고 몇 가지 쟁점이 있어왔다. 그 대표적인 논점이 “조종성능을 제한하는 어구”의 해석에 관한 문제였다. 또한 “조업 중”이란 시간적 판단에 의한 문제도 그 중의 하나였다. 이러한 문제에 대한 고민들은 오랜 시간에 걸쳐 해양안전심판원에 의하여 검토 또는 연구되어져 왔고, 그 검토와 연구의 결과인 몇 가지 판단 기준들은 재결서를 통하여 정립되어 왔다. 따라서 유권해석으로서의 해양안전심판원 재결서들을 분석하면 이러한 문제점들의 판단기준들을 확인할 수 있을 것이다. 일반적으로 “조종성능을 제한하는 어구”란 ① 어구의 수중저항이 커서 변침․변속이 어려운 경우 또는 ② 변침․변속이 가능한 경우라 할지라도 사용하고 있는 어구로 인하여 침로를 변경하거나 속력을 줄이거나 했을 때 어구의 손상 또는 추진기 등 선체의 손상을 일으킬 수 있는 경우로 볼 수 있다. 또한 “조업 중”이라는 시간적 개념에 대하여 해양안전심판원은 사고 당시 투망·양망, 투승·양승 작업 중이었던 경우뿐만 아니라 사고 당시 해당 선박의 작업, 이동을 위한 항해 또는 해묘(물돛)의 투하 등이 조업의 연장선에 있었다고 판단되면 해당 선박은 조업 중으로 판단하고 있고, 또한 이로 인하여 조종성능에 제한이 있을 경우 “어로에 종사하고 있는 선박”으로서의 항법상 지위를 인정하고 있다. 한편 비록 어선이 조업 중에 있고 조종성능에 어느 정도 제한이 있다 하더라도 기관을 사용하거나 변침을 하여 다른 선박의 진로를 피할 수 있다면 어로에 종사중인 선박으로서의 항법상 지위는 인정되지 않고 있다.
