With an entering into force of OPRC-HNS started in June 14th 2007, establishment of response system in a nationwide scale to take care of accidents is required to respond rapidly and effectively. This necessities drove us to analyze national contingency plan for chemicals including national response system against accidents, which is in operation in the US. Main characteristics of the system are well described as an integrated incident command system with a cooperation of responsibilities facilities, manpower, and technical support. In addition, state anψor local authorities tend to have responsibilities on management of disaster with its response activities. Polluters are also charged to pay expenses 3 times expensive provided state or local authorities are conducted. In general, response activities are conducted by private sectors. However, the government will take action with Superfund if the response capacity is over than the polluters can. However, safety are regarded as a primary factor to be considered in the response activities, and try not to recover any pollutants. Personals belonging to USCG and EPA are required to complete specialized courses to promαe professional skills, and are also welcomed to participate in "certification program"

With an entry into force of OPRC-HNS on June 14th 2007, response system against any large scale accidents related to HNS is required to respond rapidly and effectively in a national scale, US national response system and national contingency plan for any chemicals in operation were analyzed to understand the characteristics of management system and response system for any HNS driven accidents in the Us. Main characteristics of the US system were well described as an unified information window and an integrated incident command system supported by response facilities, manpower and technical support from other response organizations through good cooperation. In general, response activities are conducted by private sectors, however, the government will take over response activities in case large scale accidents occur in the Us. Expected expenses for response activities are covered by a type of Superfund in the Us. Several applicable ways are proposed to enable NGO to participate in and reorganize response system in ROK, and are feasible in collaboration with other response organizations and private sectors in the aspects of equipment, technology and manpower, Based upon the above activities, it is desirable to reorganize domestic rules and/or regulations related to response measures in ROK.

우리나라 뿐만 아니라 미국 해양에서도 기름 유출사고가 발생하여 많은 생태계 피해가 있었으며, 앞으로도 발생할 가능성이 크다. 해수유동예측모델 실행 웹 포털은 기름 유출과 같은 해양사고에 빠르게 대응하기 위해 고안되었다. 한국과학기술정보연구원에서 제공하는 그리드 자원을 이용하여 신속한 관측자료 수집 및 입력자료 생성으로 해수흐름을 빠르고 정확하게 예측하기 위해 개발되었으며, 사고 발생 시 해수유동예측으로 오염물질의 경로 예측과 생태계 피해를 최소화하는데 기여하고자한다.

As the type of Hazardous and Noxious Substances(HNS) becomes various and the transport volume of HNS increases, HNS spill incidents occur frequently on land and the sea. In view of various damages to human lives and properties by HNS spills, it is necessary to educate and train professional personnel in preparation for and response to potential HNS spills. This study shows the current state of response systems and education courses against HNS spill incidents on land and the sea to compare those with each other between land and sea in Korea. Incident command system on land are basically similar to that at sea, but leading authority which is responsible for combating HNS spills at sea is changeable depending on the location of HNS spill, as it were, Korea Coast Guard(KCG) is responsible for urgent response to HNS spill at sea, while municipalities are responsible for the response to HNS drifted ashore. Education courses for HNS responders on land are established at National Fire Service Academy(NFSA), National Institute of Chemical Safety(NICS), etc., and are diverse. Education and training courses for HNS responder at sea are established at Korea Coast Guard Academy(KCGA) and Marine Environment Research & Training Institute(MERTI), and are comparatively simple. Education courses for dangerous cargo handlers who work in port where land is linked to the sea are established at Korea Maritime Dangerous Goods Inspection & Research Institute(KOMDI), Korea Port Training Institute(KPTI) and Korea Institute of Maritime and Fisheries Technology(KIMFT). Through the comparison of education courses for HNS responders between land and sea, some recommendations such as extension of education targets, division of an existing integrated HNS course into two courses composed of operational level and manager level with respective refresh course, on-line cyber course and joint inter-educational institute course in cooperation with other relevant institutes are proposed for the improvement in education courses of KCG and KOEM(Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation) to educate and train professionals for combating HNS spills at sea in Korea.

동적위치제어선박의 위치손실사고는 해양플랜트 운영에 있어서 치명적인 결과를 초래할 수 있음에도 불구하고 이러한 사고의 원인 및 대응방안에 대한 연구는 매우 드물다. 이 연구에서는 2011년부터 2016년까지 6년간의 위치손실사고에 대한 분석을 수행하고 그 결과를 기존에 있었던 분석 결과와 비교 검토하였으며, 이를 기반으로 DPO교육훈련의 개선방안을 제시하였다.

This study introduces lessons learned from investigation and analysis of major domestic and overseas cases of marine chemical incidents involving hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) during maritime transportation by chemical tankers carrying petrochemical products in bulk. The study then suggests plans to improve domestic marine HNS training curricula based on these lessons. Lessons learned from six incident cases are classified into the following six categories: 1) incident-related information, 2) safety, 3) pollution, 4) response, 5) salvage and 6) others. Based on these six categories, it is suggested that the curriculum provided by the Marine Environment Research & Training Institute for marine pollution prevention managers aboard noxious liquid substance carriers should be changed from the existing two-day training of eight subjects (16 h) to a three-day training of sixteen subjects (24 h). In addition, it is proposed that the marine chemical incident response course of the Korea Coast Guard Academy should be changed from the existing five-day training of fifteen subjects (35 h) to a six-day training of thirty-two subjects (48 h). These results are expected to contribute to sharing experiences and lessons learned about response to marine chemical incidents and to be used as basic data for improving the education and training courses for response personnel in preparedness for marine HNS incidents.

우리나라는 다양한 해양활동을 즐기기에 풍부한 자연환경을 가지고 있으며, 소득 증가와 주 5일 근무 등의 사회적 여건 변화에 따라 해양에서의 여가활동이 다양해지고 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따른 국민의 해양활동과 관련된 사고 발생빈도도 함께 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 해양에서의 사고를 직접적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 국민의 해양사고 대응역량 강화를 위한 해양안전 교육 및 체험시설의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해양 재난·사고 발생현황, 안전관련 체험시설 현황 등의 여건분석과 안전 및 해양안전에 대한 국민의 인식조사 결과를 기반으로 해양안전 교육 및 체험시설 건립의 사회적 타당성을 제시하였다.
