Abstract

Most of nations including the Republic of Korea require that the captain or the chief engineer of the ship who is in charge of safe navigation must carry a Seafarer’s certificate. However, different from the merchant seamen, a considerable number of Korean fishermen do not follow such a rule as the procedure to obtain the certificate is too inconvenient so that the certification system is in a way creating offenders unintentionally. Thus, this study focuses on digitalization of Seafarer’s certificate to adapt to forthcoming e-Navigation era. As a result/contribution, it became clear that the current BLE technology (2016) was most efficient in achieving this goal among various wireless network-oriented technologies. The author intends to introduce a prototype in the future study after applying for a patent.
