A Basic Study on Operation Effectiveness of Vessel Traffic Services(VTS)

Abstract

The number of vessels has increased in the world. And vessels have become bigger and speed up. Because of this, marine traffic volume is increasing especially in the vicinity of ports. Increasing amount of traffic causes marine accidents which could cause a large amount of damages to the marine environment, loss of lives and social losses. VTS(Vessel Traffic Service) is used in most of the ports and coastal waters to prevent marine accident and increase efficiency of port operation. VTS plays a positive role in preventing the marine accidents and assisting port operation. This study focused on comparative of marine accident rate before and after establishment of the VTS. The statistics indicate that marine accidents in vicinity of ports are on the decrease after the establishment of VTS. The volume of marine traffic density in the coast of Korea was researched to draw a conclusion of high risk areas. Eligibility and necessity analysis was carried out to establish the VTS in the high risk area. Firstly, marine accident rate draw a comparison between before and after establishment of VTS. Following the establishment of VTS in the vicinity of ports, marine accidents have decreased by 39.9%. This comparison indicates that VTS contributes greatly to prevent marine accidents. Secondly, in the last 5 years, marine accidents rate in the vicinity of Korea was analyzed. Marine accidents are occurring in all areas. Coastal waters of Korea shall be divided to Eastern, Southern, Western. Marine accidents occurred 900 cases in each Western and Southern, 310 cases in Eastern coastal water. Thirdly, coastal waters of Korea shall be divided into ten(10) parts based on VTS control areas to research volume of marine traffic density. The volume of marine traffic was researched one week during 08:00~08:20 to find out for traffic volume distribution. This result was compared with marine accident rate to determine establishment of VTS. As a result of research, VTS to be operated preferentially in Gyeong-In area to reduce marine accidents rate. Lastly, the result of the precedent study on accident prevention index of VTS was compared with actual data of Jin-Do VTS. The precedent result of accident prevention index was 45.7%, actual data of Jin-Do VTS was 62.7%. Marine accident rate was reduced from average 67 cases per year to average 25 cases after establishment of VTS at Jin-Do area. According to above result, VTS plays a positive role in preventing the marine accidents with similar results.표 목 차 iii 그림 목차 iv Abstract v 제 1 장 서 론 1 1.1 연구의 배경 및 목적 1 1.2 연구의 방법 및 범위 2 제 2 장 VTS의 현황 조사 분석 3 2.1 VTS의 현황 및 기능 조사 3 2.1.1 VTS의 현황 3 2.1.2 VTS의 기능 5 2.1.3 우리나라의 VTS 현황 8 2.2 VTS의 장비현황 조사 9 2.2.1 VTS의 구성요소 9 2.2.2 VTS 주요 장비 10 2.3 VTS로 예방가능한 해양사고 종류 조사 12 2.3.1 해양사고의 정의 12 2.3.2 해양사고의 종류 13 2.3.3 선박피해의 종류 14 2.3.4 VTS로 예방가능한 해양사고의 종류 14 제 3 장 VTS 설치 후 해양사고 저감율 분석 15 3.1 VTS 설치년도 및 설치 전・후 해양사고 저감율 15 3.1.1 VTS 설치년도 조사 15 3.1.2 VTS 설치 전・후 20년간 해양사고 발생현황 16 3.1.3 항만 VTS 설치 전・후 해양사고 저감율 18 3.2 항만 VTS 설치 이후 해양사고 발생현황 및 분석 20 3.2.1 우리나라 항만의 교통량 증가 조사 분석 20 3.2.2 최근 5년간 해양사고 조사 22 3.2.3 구역별 통항선박 밀집도 및 해양사고 조사 24 3.2.4 구역별 통항선박 밀집도 및 해양사고 비교분석 33 3.4 VTS 설치 효과 필요성 제시 35 3.4.1 해양사고 피해액 대비 설치효과 사례연구 35 3.4.2 기타 연구와의 VTS 설치 효과 비교 분석 37 제 4 장 결 론 38 참 고 문 헌 4
