  • 선박에 승선하는 모든 선원들은 STCW 협약에서 요구하는 바와 같이 STCW 코드 A-I/6조에 따라 해당 훈련 및 평가에 대해 관리, 감독 및 감시되어야 하며, 선원들은 STCW 협약 요구 교육을 이수한 후 이에 대한 증서를 발급받아 해당 선박에 승선하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 법정교육에 대한 교육 이수증서양식이 국제적으로 통일되어 있지 않아 항만국통제(PSC) 검사시 검사관들이 해당 교육 이수 및 교육내용에 대한 식별이 어려우며, 또한 이수증서 양식이 국가별로 제 각각이라 신뢰성이 검증되지 않은 증서도 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고, STCW 협약의 올바른 이행을 위해 STCW 협약에서 요구하고 있는 법정교육에 대한 이수증서 양식통일에 대하여 논한다.

  • This paper presents a novel educational model of subjects of electric, electronic and control for marine engineer in accordance with STCW 2010 amendments. In accordance with STCW 2010, contents of such courses in marine engineering operations of undergraduate programs in maritime university should be updated correspondingly to new features. In order to propose the model, this paper analyses and reviews subjects on electric, electronic and control in STCW convention compared to STCW 1995. Also, in this paper, subjects of electric, electronic and control in marine engineering operations in Korea and other countries are analyzed and a new educational model is proposed. in theoretical perspective and practical perspective.

  • The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been regulating emissions by making mandatory the compliance with institutions aimed at protecting air quality such as the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Tier III. Under the circumstances, one of the response measures considered to be the most feasible is the replacement of existing marine fuel with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The industry has been preemptively building infrastructure and developing and spreading engine technology to enable the use of LNG-fueled ships. The IMO, in turn, recently adopted the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flash-Point Fuels (IGF Code) as an institutional measure. Thus, it is required to comply with regulations on safety-related design and systems focused on response against potential risk for LNG-fueled ships, in which low-flash-point fuel is handled in the engine room. Especially, the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention was amended accordingly. It has adopted the qualification and training requirements for seafarers who are to provide service aboard ships subject to the IGF Code exemplified by LNG-fueled ships. The expansion in the use of LNG-fueled ships and relevant facilities in fact is expected to increase demand for talents. Thus, the time is ripe to develop methods to set up appropriate STCW training courses for seafarers who board ships subject to the IGF Code. In this study, the STCW Convention and existing STCW training courses applied to seafarers offering service aboard ships subject to the IGF Code are reviewed. The results were reflected to propose ways to design new STCW training courses needed for ships subject to the IGF Code and to identify and improve insufficiencies of the STCW Convention in relation to the IGF Code.

A Study on the amendment of regulation of Korean Seamen's Act to exempt the seafarers who have completed advanced safety refresher training from basic safety refresher training (선원법상 상급안전 재교육 이수자의 기초안전 재교육 면제 규정의 개정에 관한 연구)

  • It is provided that seafarers qualified in accordance with STCW(International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers) convention and code in safety training shall be required, every five years, to provide evidence of having maintained the required standard of competence, to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in Chapter VI, section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code A. Every party to the STCW Convention has amended the relevant national regulations according to the above international convention and code. These amended Seaman's Act require the updating safety training which is only five years valid for existing seafarers serving onboard ship on international voyage. And above specified existing seafarers must, as of the 1st January 2017, have documentary evidence of either having completed the training course or updated their training within the last 5 years. In relation to the above international trend, the Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries also has completed an amendment to its Seaman's Act. But, the Korean Seaman's Act has a supplementary provision to exempt the seafarers who have completed STCW advanced safety training from basic safety training. The purpose of this study is to define the problems of above mentioned exemption provisions and to make better policies for improvement. In order to complete the purpose, the research team has conducted an in-depth survey of various foreign cases on STCW safety training. Moreover, the team has suggested an improvement scheme in consonance with Korean shipping industry and society through out this report.

  • This study begins with investigation of the purpose and background of the International convention on Standards of Training, Sertification and Watchkeeping for seafarers 1978, London(STCW) which will be put into force on and after 28th April 1984. Author tried to confirm those common points on requirement of the qualifications between the radio officer regulated it. the STCW Convention and radio communications between the radio officer regulated in the STCW convention and radio communication operator's general certificate in the Radio Regulations annexed to the International Telecommunication convention. Then, Japanese communications administration is taken as a model for the comparative analysis, as Japan and Korea have many resembling aspects, especially legal and social aspects. Therefore, as one of urgent tasks of Korean Communications Administration preparing for the STCW convention, Istressed on partial amendment of the Korean Radio Regulatory Act.

  • The comprehensive review of the STCW 1978, as amended in 1995 and associated Code was carried out from 2006 to 2010. These amendments will have a certain degree of impact on Maritime Education and Training(MET) institutes in terms of education and training of seafarer worldwide. Particularly, the Far East region countries are effected more than other regions since they covered about 30% of officers and 37% ratings in the world. In view of these facts this dissertation conceived to analyze the problems in the Far East main seafarer supply countries faced the implementation of "STCW Manila Amendments" To analyze these problems, this dissertation carried out questionnaire research to 7 targeted main MET of major Far East seafarer supply countries. After research this dissertation suggests the possible solutions such as, Joint On-Board Training Center; Joint Asia Maritime E-learning Systems; methods to reducing work-load, ship inspection burden and determine mandatory minimum safety manning standards in a safe way; technical cooperation fund to installation of training equipment; and clarify vague terminology of STCW Manila Amendments, to solve problems identified through the questionnaires.
