Abstract

Globalization, internationalization and the rise in the standard of living have led to an increase in the use of world-wide transport by almost by ship. With the increase of sea transport, the number of maritime disasters also has been increased. The impact on the environment and local economies, when maritime disasters such as groundings of M/T Exxon Valdez or Sea Prince occur, are enormous, so it is urgent to improve accident prevention capabilities including VTS(Vessel Traffic System).

VTS currently operate on a local (e.g. port VTS) basis mainly and the safety information on marine traffics is almost transported to navigators by VHF. It is so difficult to exchange a lot of the related information necessary for marine traffic service exactly and in real time.

In this paper, the author design the Wide Area Information Network for Marine Safety, the Information Network for Maritime Traffic Safety Service and the Advertising Homepage for Marine Safety and Prevention of Marine Pollution.

The improved dissemination of the real-time visualized traffic information and the Internet Traffic Management System enable us to establish the Information Network for Maritime Traffic Safety Service, where dynamic and diverse information is made available in real time.

Then the designed information network is applied to Masan port VTS, in which navigators can not only access the visualized information on port situation but also exchange the diverse data necessary for controlling traffics with marine traffic managers, and the designed Advertising Homepage has been serviced at http://soback.kornet.net/~pst0849 since Feb. 2000.

The Information Network contributes to improve efficiency of VTS and enhances the interest of marine safety and environment protection.
