In case of Busan New Port, Traffic congestion index is very large because vessel traffic volume has rapidly increased every year, expected approx. 92,000 vessels in 2010, resulting from expanding new port facilities and constructions, increasing vessels' traffic such as construction salvages and Tows due to constructions of the Geo-ga Bridge and submarine tunnel. The high traffic congestion is also related to the geographical location, the entrance of the Jinhae Bay including port of Masan, Jinhae, Tongyeong and Anjeong with heavy vessels' traffic such as dangerous cargoes, Tows, and all kinds of common vessels caused by increasing coastal logistics due to development of the adjacent industrial area.
Besides, by launching the 2nd port of Busan, at the moment(Oct, 2010) 18 Piers are being operated in New Port in order to enhance the dignity of logistic hub port of the 21st century in Northeast Asia, and will complete 30 more piers until 2015 for the completion of New Port. In addition the other risk of the marine traffic accident is expected to increase more and more due to rapid increase of vessel traffic including large full containers(over 100,000G/T) because it is scheduled to build additional pier of Fuel oil supply and maintenance shipyard nearby entrance of New Port breakwater.
Accordingly, it is necessary that the analysis of marine accident in order to manage vessel traffic safely and the element which will be effected on vessel traffic caused by surrounding natural environment, navigation and situation of entering and leaving vessels at the above same area.
In this study, I'd like to make a suggestion how to improve vessel's traffic safety in accordance with drawn risk element after through analysis on maritime accident and the element which will be effected on vessel traffic caused by surrounding natural environment and comprehensive feature of traffic stream in this area, on the basis of Gadeok-Sudo in Busan New port.
