  • Content KOMSA Introduces the MTIS Mobile App for Enhanced Maritime Information Sharing The Maritime Transportation Safety Information System (MTIS) is now available on Google Play Store, One Store, and the App Store, beginning on September 1st, 2023. Originally launched as a web-based system for PC users, the MTIS has provided analysis of maritime accidents and real-time ship information to passengers. For better accessibility and user convenience, KOMSA has developed a mobile application by utilizing its experiences with the web-based MTIS. The mobile app version of the MTIS presents maritime accident data through infographics, graphs, and maps for better understanding. It offers an extensive array of information related to maritime accidents, including types and characteristics of ships, accidents, timing, and accident rates. On top of this, it is equipped with the Geographic Information System (GIS)-based maritime accident analysis, allowing users to view accident statistics by sea areas and specific time frames. The Passenger Ship Transportation Information Service (PATIS), which provides real-time ship information, is also integrated into the MTIS. With PATIS, users have access to diverse information, including ship operating schedules, real-time ship tracking, ship route information, and weather updates. The app also allows users to set notifications for desired routes, alerting them one, three, and five hours before departure. It even immediately notifies passengers when the departure of a passenger ship is canceled due to weather warnings. The MTIS mobile app is free for all users and does not require signups for its usage. Android users can download the app on Google Play Store and One Store, while Apple users can find it from the App Store. (*Please note that the MTIS app is currently only available in the Korean language.) The MTIS app offers five main features. The PATIS and maritime accident statistics, frequently used among the public, are already in operation. The other three features intended mainly for crews— accident risk alerts, traffic congestion updates, and ship management—will be launched in November 2023 after further development. President Jun-Seok Kim of KOMSA said, "Through this advancement in the maritime transportation safety information system, we, as an agency overseeing maritime safety, are expanding our areas of business and capabilities." "I hope the MTIS mobile app offers a breakthrough for both the public and the oceans and fisheries sector in preventing maritime accidents,” he added.

  • Content KOMSA Enhances Sea Safety with Data Cooperation on Maritime Accidents President Jun-Seok Kim of KOMSA, left, and Commissioner Yong-Seok Kang of KMST, right, pose for a photo after signing the MoU on August 10th, 2023. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was established between the Korea Maritime Transportation Safety Authority (KOMSA) and the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal (KMST) with the aim of strengthening cooperation in maritime accident prevention through the use of accident-related data. The MoU encompasses several domains for cooperation: enhancing maritime accident statistics sharing, analysis and usage of accident data, and conducting seminars on maritime accident prevention. Through this MoU, both KOMSA and KMST are planning to ramp up their efforts in taking advantage of maritime accident data and disseminating the related knowledge. This MoU will also further KOMSA's capabilities in utilizing the Maritime Transportation Safety Information System (MTIS)*. *The Maritime Transportation Safety Information System (MTIS) provides crucial maritime accident-related information, such as statistics, analysis, and forecasts. President Kim of KOMSA said, "This MoU not only advances the prevention of maritime accidents but also elevates the caliber of maritime accident information services available to the public." "The combined expertise of KOMSA and KMST will generate a synergy, aiming to make our sea routes the safest," he added. This collaboration is not new; KOMSA and KMST's first partnership began in 2012. Their initiatives included sharing maritime accident and safety data, assisting accident investigations, and providing consultation on tribunal cases. When KOMSA was appointed to oversee passenger ship safety in July 2015, the MoU was renewed with a focus on this area. Through these efforts, KOMSA and KMST have unveiled initiatives like a ship information system for fishing vessel accident investigations, enhanced ship survey systems based on accident data, and safety training resources for fishermen and coastal ship crews.
