ABSTRACT

The ‘fourth industrial evolution’ brings lots of changes to industries. Digital technologies based on ICT and convergences are changing in society and economy. Even in maritime industry, fourth industrial revolution is bringing many changes, such as ICT technology application to shipbuilding, navigation and maritime transport. Especially, a maritime safety technology is the key technology for keeping and developing of current maritime industry. Thus, Ship inspection authority which has main role in maritime safety field should react promptly to these changes comes from fourth industrial revolution.

So, a series of interview and an AHP questionnaire survey, the importance of evaluation criteria are ranked and 30 selected core maritime safety technologies which have high relevance with ‘Ship Inspection Authority’ and these are ranked by Multi Criteria Analysis. Also selected core maritime safety technologies were analyzed by BCG Matrix with core competencies of Ship inspection authority (Ship inspection, Ship safety management, Environment-Friendly).
