Abstract

Korean ports have some problems in the aspect of quality & quantity in the bunkering process. Quality of bunker is assessed as more higher than competing ports. However, quality of bunkering procedure is assessed as lower. Especially, supply chain from loading of bunker to the bunker barge at oil terminal, transport it, and supply it to the ship has not been secured. Furthermore, aspect of quantity of bunker is more serious rather than that of quality of bunkering process. Disputes on the quantity of bunker between seller and buyer occur frequently, and residue & theft of bunker is also popularized issue and serious problem. Low bunkering fee is recognized as major reason of that problem, however, though low fee can be solved, it can not be necessary secured that problem could be solved, Therefore, this paper investigates and suggests the scheme to solve the quality problems of bunker supplying procedure, and develop solution toward advanced bunkering ports through removal of the quantity disputes. Concretely, this paper suggests introduction of quality system of bunker supply chain in the aspect of bunker supply procedure, and diversion from conventional sounding method to innovative Mass Flow Metering System in the aspect of bunker measuring. These two innovative solutions contribute to the removal and improvement of current structural problems in bunkering procedure.

우리나라 항만의 벙커링은 품질과 수량 측면에서 큰 문제를 안고 있다. 벙커의 품질은 우수하다고 평가받고 있으나, 벙커링 절차측면의 품질에는 허점이 많이 발생하고 있다. 특히 저유기지에서 벙커를 급유바지에 선적하고, 본선으로 운반하며, 본선으로 공급하는 과정의 공급망에 있어서는 품질이 확보되고 있지 않다, 벙커수량 측면에서는 문제가 더욱 심각하다. 벙커수량 분쟁이 매우 빈번하고, 잔량발생 및 도유현상까지 일상화되어 있다. 여기에는 벙커링 운송료가 낮다는 것이 주요 원인으로 작용하고 있음을 부인할 수 없다. 그러나 운송료 문제가 해소된다고 하여 벙커량 문제가 완벽하게 해결된다고 보기 힘들다. 이에 따라 이 연구는 현행 벙커링 공급과 관련된 품질 미확보 문제와 수량분쟁을 해결하여 벙커 선진항만으로 발전할 수 있는 방안을 모색·제시하였다. 이 연구에서는 벙커링이 이루어지는 현장 위주의 분석을 통해 현황 및 문제점을 면밀하게 분석하고, 벙커 선진항만인 싱가포르의 사례를 심도깊게 분석, 시사점을 활용하였다. 분석 결과 벙커공급절차에 있어서는 공급망의 품질강화제도를 도입하고, 벙커수량 측면에서는 현행 사운딩 방식에서 질량유량계 시스템으로 계측방식의 전환이라는 혁신적인 방안을 제시하였다.
