The Coastal VTS will be continuously constructed to prevent marine traffic accidents in the coastal waters of the Republic of Korea. In order to provide the best traffic information service to the ship operator, it is important to understand the navigation risk factor. In this study, we analyzed the navigational hazards of Gunsan coastal area where the coastal VTS will be constructed until 2020. For this purpose, major traffic flows of merchant ships and density of vessels engaged in fishing were analyzed. This study was conducted by Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Vessel Pass (V-PASS) data. The grid intervals are 10 minute × 10 minute (latitude × longitude) based on the section of the sea. A total of 30 sections were analyzed by constructing a grid. As a result of the analysis, the major traffic flows of the merchant vessels in the coastal area of Gunsan were surveyed from north to south toward Incheon, Pyeongtaek, Daesan, Yeosu, Pusan and Ulsan, and from east to west in the port of Gunsan Port, 173-3, 173-6, 173-8, 183-2, 183-5, 183-8, 183-3, 184-1 and 184-2. As a result of the study, the fishing boats in Gunsan coastal area mainly operated in spring and autumn. On the other hand, the main traffic flow of merchant ships and the distribution of fishing vessels continue to overlap from March to June, so special attention should be paid to the control during this period.

해양사고가 빈번하고 교통밀도가 높은 서남해 연안해역에 통항선박의 안전과 항만 입출항 선박의 지원을 위해 해상교통안전관리체 제가 2006년 7월부터 시행되고 있다. 본 해역에서 RADAR와 AIS의 정보를 이용하여 해상교통환경평가를 위해 통항량을 조사하고, 최근 5년간 해양사고의 분포 경향을 조사하였다. 또한 동 해역에서 자연환경의 영향, 어장현황 및 설문조사 분석을 통해 연안해역 항행위해요소를 알아보았다. 최근 5년간 대상해역에서 상선의 해양사고는 점진적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으나. 어선의 경우는 반대로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 6월에서 8월 사이의 짚은 안개와 어로행위 및 VHF 청취의무를 이행하지 않는 선박으로 인해 항행위해요소로 나타났다.
