The Issue of Vessel Traffic Management in Harbors: Osaka Area and Kobe Area in Hanshin Port

港湾区域における船舶交通管理の問題 : 阪神港大阪区及び神戸区について

Two Administrative organizations manage the vessel traffic of the Osaka and Kobe areas in Hanshin port, the Harbor manager under the city government and the Harbor master under the Japan Coast Guard. The present vessel traffic management system isn’t practical, and navigators may become confused due to the two different organizations. The purpose of this research is to investigate the present traffic management system from a navigator’s view and to consider a new traffic management system needed by users. The authors sent out questionnaires to pilots and interviewed the harbor manager, port radio officers, and harbor master. The results were subsequently discussed, and the authors suggest the following for the traffic management system in the Osaka and Kobe areas of Hanshin Port. a) Harbor master controls violations regarding navigation in the port. b) The administrations should provide plain and clear rules that bring common knowledge to navigators. c) If a dangerous situation arises, port radio operators should support navigators with a unified traffic control system.
