Abstract

In the event of a marine pollution accident, Korea, which is bordered by the sea on three sides, would suffer tremendous damage. According to an analysis of marine pollution accidents in Korea, most pollutants were small fishing boats and tugboats. In particular, urgent safety measures are required due to the high incidence of marine pollution accidents caused by stranded tugboats. This study aims to decrease secondary marine pollution accidents by preparing measures to prevent accidents by stranded tugboats, the main source of pollution accidents. To this end an experiment was conducted to mark 63 locations where stranded accidents have occurred on the GPS plotters of 61 tugboats operating in Boryeong sea area. Its effectiveness was then investigated. The result showed that there was no stranded accident by the subject ship during the 20-month experiment period. As a result of survey of the captains, 36 out of 40 respondents (90%) stated that the experiment was significantly helpful in ensuring safe navigation, thus confirming its effectiveness. Various measures were proposed to prevent stranded accidents, including providing information to manufacturers and users by marking the location of grounded accidents on GPS plotters and posting the location information of unknown reefs on the official website of institution Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency.

해양오염사고가 발생하면 삼면이 바다인 우리나라는 막대한 피해를 입게 된다. 국내 해양오염사고를 분석한 결과 오염원 대부분이 소형어선과 예인선이었으며 특히, 예인선의 좌초에 의한 해양오염사고 발생률이 높아 시급한 안전대책이 요구된다. 본 연구의 목적은 해양오염사고의 주요 오염원인 예인선에 의한 좌초사고 예방방안을 마련함으로써 2차적으로 발생 가능한 해양오염사고를 감소시키는데 있다. 이러한 방안을 마련하기 위하여 보령해역을 운항하는 예인선 61척의 GPS 플로터에 과거 좌초사고 발생위치 63개소를 표시하고 선장들에게 표시된 좌초위치를 주의하여 확인하면서 운항하도록 하는 실험을 하고 효과여부를 조사하였다. 실험결과 20개월의 실험기간 동안 피험선박에 의한 좌초사고 발생이 한 건도 없었고 선장대상 설문조사 결과 응답자 40명 중 36명(90%)이 안전항해에 상당한 도움이 되었다고 응답하여 실험 효과가 검증되었다. 실험결과를 적용하여 GPS 플로터에 좌초사고 위치표시 및 알려지지 않은 암초 위치정보를 홈페이지에 게시하는 등의 방법으로 제조사 및 사용자에게 정보제공 방안 제안 등 다양한 좌초사고 예방에 관한 정책제언을 하였다.
