해양사고 예방 또는 해양사고 시 2차 피해 감소를 위한 관점에서 안전수역, 안전항구 및 최적 수리장소의 제공 또는 제공되는 장소까지 안전한 수로의 안내는 해양선진국으로 갖추어야 할 핵심 해사안전 서비스의 하나로 볼 수 있다. Erika호 해양사고와 같은 중대사고로 큰 손해를 겪은 국제사회는 피난처의 중요성을 깨닫고 여러 해를 거친 검토 끝에 피난처의 제공목적, 선장과 구조자의 책임지침 등을 담은 IMO Res. A.949(23) 및 A.950(23)과 같은 피난처 관련 지침을 제정하게 되었다. 이 지침을 바탕으로 덴마크, 미국, 캐나다, 남아프리카에서는 MAS 체제, 잠재적 피난처(PPOR, Potential Places of Refuge), 국가비상계획 포함 등의 방법으로 피난처를 지정하여 활용하고 있었다. 위의 요소들을 고려할 때, 우리나라 연안을 통항하는 선박들에 대한 최적의 피난처를 지정하기 위해서 연안해역 및 항만의 자연환경, 해상 및 기상조건, 과거 해양사고통계 및 분석자료, 항적도 및 교통량 등 해상교통환경의 평가를 위한 기초자료가 수집되어야 한다.

On December of 2003, IMO's $23^{rd}$ Assembly discussed 'Guidelines on places of refuge for ships in need of assistance' At the discussion, Res. A.949(23) has been selected to appoint recommended place of refuge for countries signatory to the IMO Convention. IMO defines "Places of Refuge" as a places where a ship in need of assistance can take action to enable it to stabilize its condition and reduce the hazards to navigation, and to protect human life and the environment. Appointing and managing a Place of refuge can be a delicate problem because of its close connection to each country's coastal and environmental protection policies. However, in case of marine accident, the appointment or management of the place of refuge has a potential to avoid further damage and reduce to the minimum any environmental and estate losses. Currently a number of foreign countries, designated and operated a place of refuge. But, place of refuge selected method criteria were different by country and also does not have any standardized designating place of refuge model. Therefor, this study suggested the model of assigned places of refuge according to objective indication in order to assign reasonable and efficient places of refuge in domestic waters in the future by investigating and analyzing imported facts in considering the assignment of places of refuge in foreign countries and describing these imported data into quantitative value. In designating the model place of refuge, the final place of refuge location was presented by evaluating the probability of marine accidents, analyzing the location, and evaluating the supporting establishment.

A huge marine accident causes a loss of valuable lives, property and the serious marine environment pollution. IMO adopted resolution A.949(23) to provide Places of Refuge(PoR) to 'Ship in need of assistance', which is to minimize the secondary environmental pollution caused by marine accidents. If the level of risk exceeds a certain range, it is necessary to be designated as Places of Refuge(PoR) after evaluation of potential risk, which is based on the database of several marine environmental factors. Also, it is necessary to develop skills about quantification/standardization of vessel traffic safety, complexity and risk. Because there is the close relation between the problem of designating Places of Refuge(PoR) and the policy of nation for protecting the natural environment of coastal state, it is important to prepare related legislation. In this paper, introduction of Places of Refuge(PoR) in domestic areas have been suggested based on the analysis of several foreign designating cases.
