Nowadays, most cargoes for export/import are processed through maritime transportation. Large-scale and high-speed vessels make maritime transportation more and more complex, which causes frequent maritime accidents. The risk of these maritime accidents can be reduced by providing systematic and appropriate safety information about them. For this, navigation aids are actively being used. However, because navigation aids are managed and maintained by using a manager’s visual observation, as well as by using a lighthouse and a buoy tender, checking the position error of a mooring buoy and its real-time condition becomes impossible. In accordance with this, conducting an overall review and an advance research on maritime transportation system on coastal waters should be conducted to systematically manage maritime transportation conditions, which makes it is necessary to develop a method of systematic management and efficient operation of navigation aids to help guarantee safe navigation on coastal waters. As a solution, this study analyzed the problem of current navigation aids management by conducting a literature study and an interview with relevant field experts. It suggests a method to manage navigation aids, which is applicable to IoT (Internet of Things) technologies.
