In order to reduce marine accidents, each contracting Government needs to implement the instruments enacted and amended by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The III Code requires each administration of the government to have a system for improvement through periodic review and evaluation and to include performance indicators in its evaluation methods. Thus, each IMO Member State needs to develop its own performance indicators. The purpose of this paper is to develop and present an evaluation model using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in order to quantify and evaluate the level of implementation of the instruments by the administrations. From the perspective of 'III-BSC', which applies the BSC concept to the III code requirements, the Critical Success Factors (CSF) that must be secured to achieve the established vision were drawn up, and candidate KPIs for each evaluation area were developed to measure the derived key success factors and an initial study model was designed composed of four levels. The validity of the KPIs was verified and the study model was finalized using the survey design using the SMART technique. Furthermore, based on the developed study model, an evaluation model for the implementation of the BSC-based IMO instruments was developed by deriving the weights of elements for each level through AHP analysis. The developed evaluation model is expected to contribute toward improving the administrations' level of implementation of the IMO instruments as a tool for quantitatively grasping the level of performance of the implementation.

Traditionally, UNCLOS stipulates that States have the obligation and responsibility to protect and preserve the marine environment and exercise their rights in Principle of Non-Discrimination with respect to foreign ships visiting to port states. UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol established Common but Differentiated Responsibility as the basis which is established on the historic responsibility. The principle in which IMO is presently developing the regulations of Green House Gas emitted from ships is contradict with the principle of UNFCCC regime. In this paper, the development and the principle of UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol is surveyed and it provides the tendency of the IMO activities regarding GHG emission from ships. Also, through consideration of the problems and restrictions drawn from comparison between two principles, the conclusion suggests the fundamental theory and implementation means in order to carry out the purpose of IMO regulations in accordance with the principles of UNCLOS and IMO Convention.

In spite of adoption of various IMO Conventions over the past, the reason why large vessel accidents related to human life and marine environment occur is that the IMO Conventions are not effectively implemented due to contravention of the conventions by flag states. In particular, the implementation of the conventions are not well being performed because some flag states having weak genuine link between them and vessels haven't set up proper personal and structural organizations in charge of maritime safety and marine environment protection. From this background, IMO Resolution A.946(23) on the voluntary IMO Member-state Audit Scheme was adopted at the 23rd Assembly in Nov. 2003 and the Scheme is expected to be executed compulsorily in 2015 through the adoption of the IMO Resolution A.1018(26) in Nov. 2009. Accordingly, this study examined outline of the IMO Member-state Audit Scheme and the Code for the Implementation of Mandatory IMO Instruments used for the audit standards of this scheme. In addition, this study reviewed the member-states' obligations and responsibilities according to the compulsory implementation of the member-state audit scheme in 2015. Based on this, this study suggested the enhancement measures for maritime education and training of maritime education institutions of the Republic of Korea to cope positively with compulsory implementation of the IMO Member-state Audit Scheme.

자율운항선박의 등장으로 국제해사기구는 기존 IMO 협약의 개정사항 식별이나 관련 국제협약의 통일해석과 제개정이 필요한 사항을 논의하고 있다. 제105차 법률위원회에서는 MASS 규정식별(RSE) 작업에 대하여 2022년 완료를 목표로 제106차 법률위원회부터 논의하기로 결정한 바 있다. 이와 관련하여 MSC RSE 작업결과와 방법론 개발을 통하여 자율등급, 방법론, 협약리스트, 작업계획 등을 확정할 계획이다. 우리나라에서는 헌법 제6조의 규정에 따라 국제법규는 국내법과 동일한 효력을 가지고 IMO 회원국감사제도에서 회원국이 국제협약을 국내법으로 수용하여 이행하고 있는지를 감사하고 있기에 국제협약이 국내법으로 수용하는 작업이 얼마나 중요한지를 알 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 IMO 국제협약 RSE 작업을 기반으로 자율운항선박의 자율화 정도구분 및 기술발전단계에 다라 개정소요가 필요한 국내법을 식별하고 비교·분석하여 자율운항선박이 상용화되기 위한 새로운 법안 마련의 필요성을 제시하였다.

The IMO introduced the voluntary audit system (VIMSAS) in 2005 and conducted audits of 67 member states. The audit (IMSAS) of Republic of Korea is scheduled to take place in July 2020, and it is time to thoroughly prepare for the audit to minimize the Findings and Observations and provide best practices for the implementation and enforcement of IMO conventions to ensure safety of life at sea and protection of the marine environment. In this paper, major findings and observations were analyzed for the IMSAS audit results, which were forced into force in 2016, and a comprehensive strategy was developed based on the audit analysis results of other member countries.

VTS가 국제적으로 성공하기 위해서는 유엔해양법협약의 기본정신에 따라 IMO차원의 국제협약이 마련되어야 하며, 국내 이행입법이 도입되어 법적 실효성을 확보해야 한다. 또한 주변국가간 협력체제를 통한 광역 VTS의 도입으로 연안국의 관할권을 벗어나는 수역에서의 해양사고발생을 방지하고(사전 예방), 사고선박에 대한 해난구조체계(사후구제)를 효과적으로 운영하기 위한 국제법적 제도가 도입되어야 하므로, 이에 대한 기초검토로써의 의미를 가진다.

To promote the consistent and effective implementation of IMO instruments such as SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, LL, TONNAGE, COLREG IMO has adopted voluntary IMO member state audit. This audit scheme is voluntary audit which will be carried out on a voluntary basis, at the request cf the member state to be audited. Nevertheless, the Korea government is preparing the implementation of the audit scheme to strengthen the competitiveness in shipping and shipbuilding industries. In this paper, we investigated the actual conditions of implementation of mandatory IMO instruments and carried out a feasibility study by assessing the cost to be audited and positive effects expected by introducing the audit scheme. As a result of cost benefit analysis we obtained high benefit-cost ratio.

Republic of Korea is the first country which received international aids, h1s become a member of DAC, and recently has strengthened the international aids policy through ODA(Official Development Assistance). Korea ODA has focused on the area of education, social infrastructure, etc., but not on maritime affairs. However, since Korea has become a maritime country and a member of "A Group" council of IMO, the international shipping community including IMO strongly requests Korea to transfer Korea's maritime safety technology to developing countries for the sake of international maritime safety and marine environment protection. In this study, the direction of road map for effective transfer of maritime safety technology and marine environment protection technology was presented. The strategy for implementation of the suggested road map was proposed as well.
