현재 해상교통 분야에서는 국제안전관리규약(ISM Code)과 내항선 안전관리체계 등을 통해 해양사고를 저감을 위한 다양한 정책을 추진하고 있으나, 주기적으로 발생하는 대형사고와 잦은 소형어선 인명사고로 인해 타 운송수단에 비해 위험도 높은 것으로 인식되고 있다. 최근 안전분야의 최대 이슈는 2022년 1월부터 시행 중인 "중대재해기업처벌법"이며, 해운업 분야에서는 선박안전관리사 제도 도입 문제와 안전관리의 디지털화 등이 주요 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 본 발표에서는 최근 안전관리 현황과 주요 이슈들을 살펴보고, 2000년대 들어와 관심을 받고 있고 타 분야에서는 적용이 활발한 레질리언스 안전(Safety II) 개념을 적용한 시스템적 안전관리를 소개하고자 한다.

최근 우리나라에서는 해양사고의 효과적인 예방을 위하여 구축 중인 한국형 e-Navigation SV20-선내시스템 원격모니터링 서비스에서는 복원성, 화재, 침수, 과도경사, 항해장비의 이상과 같이 선박의 안전 운항과 직접적으로 관련이 있는 선박의 센서들을 수집, 분석하여 이상 상태와 긴급상황을 자동으로 식별하여 안전운항을 지원하는 기능이 있다. IMO 선박안전관리 시스템의 경우 선원의 인적 과실에 의한 해상에서 안전 및 해양환경 보호를 위한 핵심 요소로서 우리나라는 SOLAS 협약 제9장(선박의 안전운항을 위한 관리)및 ISM CODE를 1999년 2월 해사안전법에 수용하여 2002. 7. 1.부터 단계적으로 시행하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 이 둘의 융합 개념의 기술적 결합을 통한 체계적이고 자동화적으로 선박에서의 안전관리 능력을 제고하여 안전 사고 발생을 최소화 할 수 있는 여러 가지 시스템과 더불어 사고 발생시 효율적으로 대응할 수 있는 표준 토폴로지 기반 UI 및 항차 기반 위기대응 가이던스를 개발 하고자 한다.

After the Sewol ferry disaster, the maritime safety supervisor system was introduced to strengthen maritime safety control for coastal vessels. If any critical defect is found in vessel facilities during periodical or occasional guidance and supervision on a vessel, a maritime safety supervisor takes an administrative measure: detention of the vessel until it has been completely corrected. The detention order is one of the most powerful regulations exercised by a maritime safety supervisor. It would not be an overstatement to say that the guidance and supervision conducted by a maritime safety supervisor is very important for the safety of a vessel and protection of the maritime environment. However, the regulatory level of each Regional Office of Oceans and Fisheries toward vessels may vary with the enforcers, and an individual's intentional act or negligence might occur during the execution process. Detention of a coastal vessel by the Regional Office of Ocean and Fisheries can easily lead to delayed navigation, and a vessel owner may suffer economic loss from suspension of a charter party. Nevertheless, the Maritime Safety Act does not prescribe filing a petition for objection to the measure of detention order by a maritime safety supervisor. To overcome this problem, therefore, the objection procedure under the Maritime Safety Act has to be reformed to reclaim a right against an inappropriate detention order measure caused by an individual's intentional act or negligence through a formal objection.

This study examines an effective operational plan of a maritime safety enforcement task that is distributed in the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Coast Guard for maritime safety. Considering the sinking of the MV Sewol and Seohae vessels and the MV Hebei Spirit oil spill, normally marine safety accidents tend to not only damage human life, property, and marine environment but can also expand to disasters; therefore, precautionary measures are required. However, the Korean government takes superficial efforts in case of large-scale accidents. In case of the MV Sewol ferry, the government only focused on punishing the officials involved as a follow up and never mentioned any effective plan, such as "unification of maritime safety enforcement," in contrast to an advanced country. As a result, there are endless major and minor backward accidents. The probability of large-scale maritime accidents and backwardness accidents is increasing owing to vessels becoming large sized, high speed, and aged; sailors being unqualified; port traffic increase, development of marine leisure; and inefficiency dual marine safety systems. Therefore, based on the review of previous studies related to maritime safety, major advanced country's cases, and unified case of the vessel traffic service, this study suggests effective methods such as coastal vessel safety management, port state control and aid to navigation management, which are directly connected with maritime safety.

With the introduction of the maritime safety supervisor system in Korea following the passenger vessel Sewol accident, the safety control system for coastal vessels has been reinforced. A maritime safety supervisor performs marine accident prevention activities by offering periodical or occasional guidance and supervision. When a deficiency is found during guidance or supervision sessions, an order for improvement is issued to rectify the problem by such measures as supplementation or replacement of vessel facilities, improvement of work hours and working conditions for employees, educational and training programs for executives and employees, or the improvement of other affairs relating to maritime safety control. However the present order for navigation suspension by a maritime safety supervisor is limited solely to supplementation or replacement. For this reason, orders for navigation suspension against other facilities is impossible, even if a serious deficiency that could lead to a marine accident such as poor cargo loading conditions or unqualified crew is identified. Therefore, the order for vessel navigation suspension to secure seaworthiness should be expanded to include cargo loading/unloading operations, certificates and documentation, maritime safety management systems, and human elements including emergency drills and working conditions, in addition to the supplementation or replacement of vessel facilities that exists.

The purpose of this study is to develop basic data for the prevention of shipboard disasters and measures to improve the safety and health of seafarers by using a survey on the safety and health activities of seafarers. The questionnaire was administered to 437 people who have worked on a ship in the last six months. According to the results from the analyses (t-test, crosstab, and ANOVA), the level of safety and health activities of seafarers averaged at 68.82 points. The workplace clearance was the highest at 76.08 points, and the safety and health management system were the lowest at 62.78 points. As a result of the differences in the level of safety and health activities, the number of marine workers was higher than workers on land, and higher education was higher than lower education (p<0.01). It was higher for workers in coastal zones than for those in pelagic areas, and special cargo ships were higher than other ship types (p<0.01). Larger ships had a higher number of activities than small ships, and ships that were less than five years old had more activities (p<0.01). Therefore, in order to raise the level of safety and health activities of seafarers, it is necessary to develop safety and health education programs that take individual, job, and ship characteristics into consideration, and promote active safety and health activities on ships.
