Abstract

As the revitalization of the global maritime industry continues, the number of foreign ships navigating the maritime territories of maritime neighboring countries has rapidly increased. However, large-scale marine accidents have occurred, caused by the insufficient establishment of a system for management and operation relative to vessels' safety-condition. To address that, the IMO has granted the right to exercise port state control, especially for foreign vessels, to countries with jurisdiction over maritime territories with strengthening regulations and guidelines. In particular, the Republic of Korea, as a member of the TOKYO MOU, is conducting PSC, but as of 2020, the proportion of foreign ships was three times higher than that of national ships that called in domestic ports. However, the inspection rate was low at 9% which has not met the recommended level by the TOKYO MOU. Thus, this study conducted an IPA analysis as well as content analysis, by collecting the practical opinions and views of PSCO through objective questionnaires and written expert interviews, for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of domestic PSC. As a result, it was derived that the importance and performance related to human factors such as life on board, working environment, and response to safety accidents should be improved in to raise the quality of PSC inspection. Additionally, the work environment and performance of PSC in domestic ports for foreign vessels could be improved, if multifaceted support bases are established, for administrative unification of related tests for PSC, recruitment of PSCO, activation of the defection-reporting system, reorganization of the PSC execution group, etc.

글로벌 해운산업이 활성화됨에 따라 특정 국가들의 해양 영도를 경유하는 외국적 외항선의 규모가 급격하게 증가하였다. 하지만 선박의 컨디션 관리, 안전 운항을 위한 체계 수립이 미흡으로 선박 운항에 기인한 대형 해양사고가 발생하여 인명 피해와 심각한 해양환경오염을 유발하고 있다. 따라서 IMO는 해양 영토의 관할권을 갖는 국가들에게 항만국통제를 수행할 수 있는 권한을 부여하고 특히 외국적 선박에 대한 규정과 지침을 강화하였다. 특히 우리나라는 TOKYO MOU 회원국으로 항만국통제를 수행하고 있지만 2020년을 기준으로 국내를 기항한 국적선 대비 외국적선의 비중이 3배 높음에도 불구하고 9% 수준의 저조한 점검률로 TOKYO MOU에서 권고하고 있는 점검률 수준을 하회하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 항만국통제에 대한 효율성과 효과성을 개선하기 위한 목적으로 객관형 설문문항과 서면 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 항만국통제관들의 실무적 의견을 수렴하여 IPA분석과 컨텐츠분석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 PSC점검의 질적 향상을 위해 수행 시 인적 요소와 관련된 선내 생활, 근무 환경, 안전사고 대응에 대한 중요성과 성과가 개선되어야 함이 도출되었다. 또한 PSC 점검성과 개선을 위해 유관 업무의 행정 일원화, 항만국통제관 인력 충원, 선박결함 신고제도 활성화, PSC 수행 그룹 재편성 등을 위한 다방면적 지원 기반이 마련된다면 우리나라 항만국통제에 대한 업무 환경과 성과가 개선될 것으로 판단된다.
