Abstract

This study investigated the current status of the management system for foreign seafarers boarding Korean ocean-going vessels and analyzed the problems and suggested measures for improvement through the survey of shipping companies, ship management companies, crew manning companies and related associations. The conclusion is summarized as follow. First, it is necessary to reorganize and apply the collective agreements or the laws applicable to the foreign seafarer separately in regard to the foreign seafarer related laws and collective agreements applied in the same way as the Korean seafarer. Second, it is necessary to change the decision-making to shipowner in deciding on the number of foreign seafarers employed by the Korean ocean-going vessels or if the decision-maker remains the same, the relevant laws must be clearly defined pertinent to the decision-maker. Additionally, the number of foreign seafarers should be applied for each position and ship's type. The third is to expand the recognition arrangement for certificate of ships' officers to Eastern Europe and Asian countries to expand the range of options for hiring foreign seafarers. The fourth is to prevent the waste of administrative manpower by simplifying complicated and unnecessary administrative procedures from hiring and boarding of foreign seafarers. The fifth is to establish a systematic training and education system for foreign seafarers in cooperation with related shipping companies and government authorities, associations and so on. This study will contribute to providing a more efficient and systematic management of foreign seafarers boarding Korean ocean-going vessels.

이 연구는 우리나라 외항 상선에 승무하는 외국인 선원 관리제도의 현황을 고찰하고 제도상 문제점과 개선방안을 외국인 선원을 고용하고 있는 선주회사와 선박관리회사 그리고 선원관리회사, 관련 단체 대상으로 설문조사 결과를 분석하여 제시하였다. 그 결과로는 첫째 한국 선원과 같이 적용되는 외국인 선원 관련법 및 단체협약 등을 별도로 적용함이 필요하며, 둘째는 외국인 선원 고용정원의 의사결정 주체를 기존 선박소유자와 노동자 단체에서 선박소유자로 변경하거나 혹은 기존 의사결정 주체를 유지한다면 법률을 개정하여 명확히 하여야 하며 또한 외국인 선원 고용정원을 직책별 및 선종별로 지정할 필요가 있다. 셋째는 외국인 해기사 고용 시 선택의 폭을 확대하기 위하여 동유럽, 아시아 국가로의 해기 면허 인정협정을 확대하여야 하며, 넷째는 외국인 선원 고용 및 승선까지 복잡하고 불필요한 행정절차를 간소화하여야 한다. 다섯째는 외국인 선원과 관련된 회사 및 정부 기관, 협회 등 공동으로 외국인 선원에 대한 체계적인 양성체제 구축이 필요하다는 것이다. 동 연구를 통하여 우리나라 외항 상선에 승선하는 외국인 선원에 대한 더욱 효율적이고 체계적인 관리에 이바지할 수 있을 것이다.
