Abstract

Sunken vessels on major fairways can cause many problems in terms of maritime safety and the marine environment. In order to prevent secondary marine pollution accidents caused by sunken vessels, information on sunken vessels has been collected, a risk assessment has been conducted, and the relevant vessels are being managed according to the results of each assessment. However, there is still a demand for improvements. The most important of the improvement plans is a paradigm shift. In other words, the management of sunken vessels needs to be transformed according to a new paradigm to manage all sunken vessels within three years from the time of sinking. Legislative improvements are also needed for the reporting system for sunken vessels, risk assessment tools, the implementation of risk mitigation measures, and criteria for the implementation cost of risk mitigation measures. In addition, close coordination between marine pollution response and sunken vessel management efforts is needed. As the division of duties between the Korea Coast Guard and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is vague, collaboration between the two ministries is required. Close collaboration is also needed between the departments of navigation safety management and sunken vessel management. Therefore, it is necessary to more clearly establish the relationship between the two systems and create a synergy effect between the two administrative operations using the results of the risk assessment in the Marine Environment Management Act to determine the navigational risk posed by obstacles with regard to the Maritime Safety Act.

주요 항로상에 침몰된 선박은 해상안전 및 해양환경 관점에서 많은 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 현재 침몰된 선박으로 인한 2차 해양오염사고를 예방하기 위해 침몰선박의 정보를 수집하고 있고, 위해도 평가를 실시한 후 각 평가 결과에 따라 침몰선박을 관리하고 있지만 아직도 개선방안에 대한 요구가 지속되고 있다. 침몰선박 관리체계의 개선방안 중 가장 중요한 것은 침몰선박 관리를 새로운 패러다임으로 전환하는 것이다. 즉, 침몰선박 관리는 모든 침몰선박 관리에서 3년 이내 침몰선박을 집중관리하는 새로운 패러다임으로 전환할 필요가 있다. 그리고 침몰선박에 대한 보고체계, 위해도 평가도구, 위해도 저감대책 실행, 위해도 저감대책 실행비용 산정기준 등에 대한 입법론적 개선이 필요하다. 또한 해양오염방제와 침몰선박 관리 주체간의 긴밀한 협력이 필요하다. 해양경찰청과 해양수산부간 업무구분과 분장이 애매하므로 양 부처 간의 협업이 요구된다. 아울러 항행안전 관리부서와 침몰선박 관리부서 간 긴밀한 협력이 필요하다. 해양환경관리법상의 위해도 평가결과를 해사안전법상 항행장애물의 위험성 결정시 활용하도록 함으로써 양 제도의 관계를 정립하고, 동시에 2가지 행정행위의 시너지효과를 거둘 수 있도록 할 필요가 있다.
