Abstract

Sunken ships cause damage to the environment due to the dispersal of fuel oil and harmful cargo goods in the hull. Since the sunken ship is mostly flooded by the seabed, it tends to be in a relatively stable condition. However, the heavy body, together with the load of remaining goods in the cargo hold, the constant contact with the seabed, and ocean currents and tidal waves, can affect dispersal of residual fuel oils out of the sunken ship. Corrosion of the sunken ship starts upon sinking, decreasing the thickness of the hull structure and sub-materials. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the structural stability against the potential breakdown of the sunken ship. Whilst evaluating the danger of the sunken ship, this result should be reflected in 'the possible discharge'. This study was undertaken to suggest a procedure for a step by step evaluation to assess the structural stability a sunken ship. The structural stability assessment to estimate the collapsibility of the hull was structure targeted at the sunken ship 'No. 7 HaeSung', which was classified as the prime example for the intensive management of sunken ships. This study was undertaken to suggest a procedure for a step by step evaluation to assess the structural stability a sunken ship and to propose a method to conduct a structural safety assessment that estimates the collapsibility of the hull by targeting the sunken ship 'No. 7 HaeSung',which was classified as the prime example for the intensive management of sunken ships. The collapsibility of the hull structure was estimated Based on the damage size of the hull structure, and the corrosion rate of the hull structure and sub-materials due to the seawater after sinking. It was confirmed that there was a low possibility of the total destruction of the hull structure at the current time. However, there is a high possibility in the potential failure of the hull structure due to increased rate of corrosion thereafter. Therefore, we believe continuous study on influence of corrosion and marine environment change to sunken ship's structural safety is necessary.

침몰선박은 선체 내에 적재되어 있는 잔존연료 및 유해 화물 등의 유출로 인하여 주변 환경과 선박의 안전 항해에 피해 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 대부분의 침몰선박은 해저에 침수된 상태로 비교적 안정적인 상태로 놓여있지만 선체 자중, 화물창의 잔존화물에 의한 하중과 해저면과의 접촉상태, 조류 및 해류 등의 영향으로 침몰선박 잔존연료 유출에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 침몰선박은 침몰 이후 부식이 진행되어 선체 구조부재의 두께가 지속적으로 감소하고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 침몰선박의 붕괴 가능성에 대한 구조안전성 평가가 필요하며 그 결과는 침몰선박의 위해도 평가요소 중 '유출가능성' 평가 항목에 반영되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 침몰선박의 구조 안전성 평가 방법에 대한 단계별 절차를 제시하고, 집중관리대상 침몰선박으로 분류된 '제7해성호'를 대상으로 선체구조의 붕괴 가능성을 추정하기 위한 구조 안전성 평가 방안을 제시한다. 침몰 당시 선체 손상 상태와 침몰 이후 선체구조 부재의 부식량 추정을 바탕으로 대상 침몰선박의 선체구조 붕괴 가능성을 산정한 결과, 현 상태에서는 전체적인 선체구조 붕괴가 일어날 가능성이 낮은 편으로 추정되지만, 향후 시간에 따른 부식량 증가로 인한 선체구조 붕괴가 일어날 가능성은 다소 높은 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 부식 및 해양환경 변화가 침몰선체 구조 안전성에 미치는 영향 등의 연구는 지속적으로 수행 되어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
