The most frequent occurring and the serious marine casualties in fishing vessels are the collision in statistics from Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal (2008-2015). Collisions are is given a great deal of weight in all marine casualties, and the main cause of collisions is the negligence of watching. From this point of view, this study deals with the collision and its immediate cause, the negligence of watching which are main factors on the indirect causes. Basic analyzing data was gathered from the questionnaire made by experts of sea service part, and analyzed by using the fault tree analysis (FTA). From the result of the study, the occurrent probability of the negligence of watching in the collision due to the indirect causes occupied 64.9%, and its probability caused by the man factors was less than the other factors; i.e. the media factors and the management factors. For the reduction of the negligence of watching in the collision from this study, it needs an effort to remove not only the man factors, but also the media factors and management factors.

The objective of this study was to prove possible effects of a habitable place for fish around semi-submersible drilling rig which measured underwater radiated noise, irradiance distribution of rig's light and conducted experimental fishing in Malaysia territory and observed for distribution of fishes around the rig by ROV during drilling operation in the East Sea of Korea. As a result underwater radiated noise was 130 dB/μPa from 156.25 to 187.50 Hz, irradiance distribution of light was between 21.5 and 43.1 lx. Despite this result, underwater radiated noise was not a threat to fish around rig and low irradiance distribution of light also played a role in the luring influence of the fishes at night. Fish showed up in the beginning of drilling operation and at the end of drilling operation. However, there are few fish in the midst of drilling operation. The main reason for this result was the destruction of the habitable place due to blow out mud and broken pieces of ground formation in drilling hole. The results are expected to contribute to reasonable fishery management around rig.

해양시설 기인 해양오염은 그 규모가 매우 크고 심각하다. 이러한 해양시설기인 해양오염에 대응하기 위해서는 체계적인 제도적 준비가 필요하다. 물론 해양오염과 관련된 여러 협약들이 존재한다. 하지만 해양오염과 관련된 기존의 국제협약을 해양시설에 그대로 적용하기에는 여러 가지 검토가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 해양시설의 법적 성격 검토, MARPOL 73/78, 1972 LC 등 해양오염방지와 관련된 국제협약의 분석과 해양시설에의 적용 가능성을 검토한 후, 해양시설 기인 해양오염에 효율적으로 대응할 수 있는 방안에 대해 고찰하였다. 연구결과 선박성이 인정되지 않는 해양시설 기인 해양오염에 대응하기 위해서 기존 협약들의 적용범위 확대와 지역방제체제의 구축이라는 방안을 제시하였다.

Effluent treated by an NaDCC injection method in Ballast water management system (BWMS) contains reactive chlorine species and disinfection by-products (DBPs). In this study, we conducted whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing and ecological risk assessment (ERA) to investigate its ecotoxicological effects on marine environment. WET testing was carried out for four marine pelagic and freshwater organisms, i.e., diatom Skeletonema costatum, Navicula pellicuosa, chlorophyta Dunaliella tertiolecta, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, Brachionus calyciflorus and fish Cyprinodon variegatus, Pimephales promelas. The biological toxicity test revealed that algae was the only biota that showed apparent toxicity to the effluent; it showed no observed effect concentration (NOEC), lowest observable effect concentration (LOEC) and effect concentration of 50% (EC50) values of 25-50%, 50-100% and >100%, respectively, at three water condition, but did not show any significant toxicities on other biota. Meanwhile, chemical analysis revealed that the BWMS effluent contained total residual oxidants (TROs) below 0.03 g/L and a total of 25 DBPs such as bromate, volatile halogenated organic μ compounds (VOCs), halogenated acetonitriles (HANs), halogenated acetic acids (HAAs), chloropicrin and Isocyanuric acid. Based on ERA, the 25 DBPs were not considered to have persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT) properties. The ratio of predicted environmental concentration (PEC) to predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) of the other DBPs did not exceed 1 for General harbor environment. However, four substances (Isocyanuric acid, Tribromomethane, Chloropicrin and Monochloroacetic acid) were exceed 1 for Nearship environment. But observed toxicity in the test water on algal growth inhibition would be mitigated by normal dilution factor of 5 applied for nearship exposure. Thus, our results of WET testing and ERA showed that the BWMS effluent treated by NaDCC injection method would have no adverse impacts on marine environment.

해상으로 운송되는 위험유해물질 (HNS, Hazardous and Noxious Substance)은 6,000여종 이상으로 많은 종류를 포함하고 있으므로, 유출시 대응전략 수립을 위한 HNS 거동 및 위험반경 예측을 결정론적으로 제시하기 어렵다. HNS 거동예측에서는 예측의 신속성과 효율성을 고려하여 차이가 미미한 모든 종류의 HNS 특성을 모두 고려하는 대신에 거동에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있는 특성들에 초점을 맞쳐 대표적인 거동예측 모델을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 HNS를 기체상, 액체상, 고체상 등 크게 3분류로 구분하고, 각각의 분류별 거동특성 모델링을 연구하였다. 물질 특성별 거동특성은 증기압, 용해도, 밀도 등을 고려하였으며, 각각의 변수에 따른 증발, 혼홥, 침강 등의 거동을 모델링하였다. 물질의 거동특성 모델링은 대기 해양 확산모델의 계산에서 대기중 확산, 수중 확산, 해저면 침적 등을 결정하는 과정으로 활용된다.
