특정 선박의 조종성능이 실질적으로 제한되어 있는지 여부는, 특정한 선박을 기준으로 해당 선박의 기능적 특성과 운항 당시의 환경을 종합적으로 고려하여 판단하여야 하는 상대적 개념이다. 어로에 종사하고 있음으로 인해 조종성능이 실질적으로 제한되어 있는지 여부를 다른 선박이 명확히 판단하는 것은 용이하 지 않다. 따라서 해상교통안전법 제83조의 적용에 있어서는 특정 선박이 자신 의 항법상 지위를 정확히 판단한 후 이에 부합하는 등화 및 형상물을 표시하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 다수의 재결에서 해양안전심판원은 통발조업 어선의 법적 지위를 어로에 종사하고 있는 선박으로 인정한 사례가 있지만, 일부 재결에서는 이에 반대되는 사례도 있다. 그러나 위와 같은 해양안전심판원의 재결 은 개별 사안에서 구체적 타당성을 고려한 심판원의 고민의 결과라고 해석하는 것이 타당하다. 어업실무상 통발조업에 사용되는 통발의 종류는 다양할 뿐만 아니라 규격화되어 있지 않다는 점과 통발을 사용하여 어획하는 어류도 다양하 다는 점을 고려하면, 유사한 성능을 가진 선박이 유사한 환경에서 통발조업을 하더라도 해당 선박의 항법상 지위에 관해 항상 동일한 결론이 도출된다고 보 기는 어렵다. 해양안전심판원은 일부 재결을 통해, 어로에 종사하고 있는 선박 의 판단기준으로서 사고 당시 선박의 침로나 속력의 변경 가능성 외에 적극적 인 피항동작으로 인한 어구 등의 손상 가능성을 고려하고 있다. 그렇다면 통발 조업 어선의 어로에 종사하고 있는 선박으로서의 지위에 관해서는 향후 심판원 의 재결을 통해 해당 문제에 대한 명확한 입장 표명이 요구된다.

This study attempted to solve the problem that the current education does not match the actual working environment of the fishing vessel despite the mandatory lifeboat training of international fishing vessel. The survey analyzed the difficulties of using life rafts and communication facilities and found that the main problems were the launch of life rafts, lack of communication equipment proficiency, and absence of emergency training scenarios. Due to the lack of standards for designated educational institutions, the current Seafarers Act has been discovered to be a problem that the accuracy and reliability of education are not consistent with the international fishing vessel agreement and the merchant vessel agreement. Additionally, the training for retreat and emergency response as stipulated by international agreements were not properly reflected in the domestic curriculum. In particular, the current training consists of general contents without considering the characteristics of the fishing crew, and there was a lack of practical emergency response training manuals. Therefore, based on international agreements, this study proposes the development of customized training contents for fishing vessel that takes into account the special working environment and risk factors of them. In addition, it emphasizes the need for policy support, such as strengthening participation of fishing boats in education and training and establishing a legal basis for the operation of emergency life raft organizations.

This study evaluates the occupational accident risks of anchovy boat seine fishery in Korea. Using Bayesian network modeling within the framework of the Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) proposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), data from 508 accident compensation claims between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed. Accidents were categorized into processes (sailing, fishing, maintenance, loading/unloading, and catch processing) and risk factors (hull and working environment, fishing gear and equipment, machinery and equipment, weather and external conditions, and processing equipment). The analysis revealed significant risks associated with fishing processes and hull-related factors. Fishing accounted for 36.42% of all accidents with trips/slips being the most frequent type (29.13%). Bayesian network analysis showed that trips/slips accidents during fishing posed the highest risks (0.001100). The risk of fishing operations was 4.60 times higher than sailing and 30.00 times higher than loading/unloading. The findings indicate that risks vary significantly depending on the processes and risk factors involved. As risk assessments mandated by the 2025 revision of Korean fishing safety laws are expected to remain simple and qualitative, this study underscores the necessity of incorporating quantitative approaches to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of safety management practices.

The fishing industry is globally recognized as a high-risk sector with substantial safety challenges. This study analyzes Norway's fishing vessel safety management legislation and risk management practices. The goal is to derive insights that can enhance South Korea's safety management for fishing vessels. Norway has established a culture of safety through regular inspections, mandatory safety training, the implementation of safety management systems, and active involvement of fishermen in risk assessments. These measures have significantly reduced maritime accidents. This study suggests incorporating effective elements of Norway’s safety management into the South Korean context, emphasizing a participatory approach that actively involves fishers.

국제적으로 선박의 온실가스 배출 감소 요구가 증가함에 따라 어선에서의 탄소배출량 저감 역시 중요한 과제가 되었다. 특 히 2023년 기준 국내의 어선 64,233척 중 60,272척이 총톤수 10톤 미만의 소형어선인 점을 고려할 때, 전기추진설비의 안전한 소형어선 적용을 위한 법제 정비가 필요하다. 본 연구는 노르웨이 해사청의 소형 선박 배터리 시스템 안전 규정을 검토하고 국내의 기준인 「전 기추진 선박기준」과 어떠한 차이점이 있는지를 비교·분석하였으며, 이러한 연구를 통해 열폭주 확산 시험의 강화와 절연 성능이 인증 된 냉각수의 사용, 배터리실 내의 배관과 소화전, 환기설비에 대한 각종 요건과 소화설비의 해수 사용을 금지하는 요건 등 소형어선에 서의 안전한 배터리시스템 사용을 위한 관련 법령의 정비 방안을 제안하였다.

This study attempted to solve the problem that the current safety education contents of Korean fishing vessels are not consistent with the STCW-F Convention and do not properly reflect the actual operating environment of the fishing vessels. Despite the reinforced duty of safety education for fishing vessels after the Ferry Sewol accident, the problem has been pointed out that the effectiveness is still low due to merchant-oriented education contents and uniform education methods. Therefore, this study compared and analyzed laws related to safety education for fishing vessels and the STCW-F Convention, and derived improvement measures by collecting voices from the field through a survey of fishing vessels. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the current fishing vessel safety education does not take into account the reality of fishing such as fishing vessel type, navigation distance, and ship output, and that the core curriculum required by STCW-F Convention is omitted. In addition, it was found that education content on major accident types that frequently occur along the coast was also insufficient. In order to improve this, this study proposes to re-establish the target of safety education for fishing vessels based on STCW-F Convention related to fishing vessels, and to prepare a segmented education system by reorganizing the training contents to suit reality. In addition, the need to clearly distinguish the education of merchant and fishing vessels through the revision of the Seafarers Act and the Ship Employees Act was suggested, and to establish a safety education system for fishing vessels that meets STCW-F Convention and domestic conditions.

This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the risk using data from 329 safety accidents that occurred in aquaculture fisheries management vessels over the recent five years (2018-2022). For quantitative risk analysis, the Bayesian network proposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) was used to analyze the risk level according to the fishing process and cause of safety accidents. Among the work processes, the fishing process was analyzed to have the highest risk, being 12.5 times that of the navigation, 2.7 times that of the maintenance, and 8.8 times that of the loading and unloading. Among the causes of accidents, the hull and working environment showed the highest risk, being 1.7 times that of fishing gear and equipment, 4.7 times that of machinery and equipment, and 9.4 times that of external environment. By quantitatively analyzing the safety accident risks for 64 combinations of these four work processes and four accident causes, this study provided fundamental data to reduce safety accidents occurring in aquaculture fisheries management vessels.

Although it is highly dependent on the production of coastal and offshore fishing, the Fishing Vessels Safety Fisheries Act was enacted in 2019 due to the continuous increase in marine accidents of coastal and offshore fishing vessels. However, the law is too focused on fishing and navigation in certain waters and does not contain accident-preventive content. Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries proposes a plan to revise the Fishing Boat Safety Fishing Act through legal comparison with Japan's Seafarers' Labor Sanitation Rules. It also proposes an amendment that includes the content of the Seafarers Act on post-accident action obligations. Under the Fishing Vessels Safety Fishing Act, the safety fishing education is implemented for specific people and adopts a method of delivery education after completing the education. The reason for this is that the educational requirements are not sufficient compared to the number of education personnel. Moreover, four hours of education are conducted once a year, which is not suitable for insufficient educational conditions. For efficient safety fishing education, improvement measures are proposed compared to education in the United States and the United Kingdom.

국내외 매년 지속적으로 증가하는 대기오염의 상당량이 선박에서 배출되고 있으며, 이러한 선박에서의 배출량을 감축하기 위 해 정부는 환경규제를 강화하고 해양대기환경 개선을 위해 「환경친화적 선박의 개발 및 보급 촉진에 관한 법률」을 제정 및 시행하여 친환경 에너지를 동력원으로 사용하는 환경친화적 선박을 보급하여 해양오염 저감 기술이 개발되도록 하고 있다. 환경친화적 선박의 기 술은 최근 순수 전기추진 내지는 전기복합 추진체계까지 진화하고 있으나, 선박의 안전한 운용을 위한 검사 및 설비기준 등 관련제도의 정비는 이를 못 따라가는 실정으로, 특히 국내 연안선박의 다수를 차지하는 어선에 대한 제도는 정비가 시급한 시점이다. 이번 연구를 통 해 어선에의 전기복합 추진체계 등의 적용을 위해 핵심기자재인 배터리, 전력변환장치 등을 정의하고 이에 필요한 안전기준을 진단, 마련 하여 친환경 어선의 도입과 보급을 위해 관련된 산업을 지원할 수 있도록 최소한의 안전기준안을 마련하고자 한다.

해양을 이용하려는 수요자 증가에 따라, 해양공간을 합리적으로 배분하기 위해 해양공간계획(Marine Spatial Planning)제도가 도 입되었다. 이 중 어업활동보호구역은 수산자원보호 등 어업활동 보호를 위해 지정되었다. 그러나, 어업활동보호구역을 주로 항해하는 어 선은 우리나라에서 발생하는 해양사고의 약 70 %를 차지할 정도로 위험에 노출되어 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 어업활동보호구 역 내 어선 통항 안전 확보를 위해 어업활동보호구역과 항만·항행구역에서 발생하는 해양사고를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 해양용도구 역의 교통량을 조사하고 선종별, 사고 유형별, 톤수별, 사고원인별, 인명피해별로 해양사고를 조사하였다. 분석 결과 각 유형별 단위 면적 당 해양사고는 대부분 항만·항행구역에서 더 많이 발생하였으나 전체적으로 발생한 해양사고는 어업활동보호구역이 높았다. 특히 인명사 고가 많이 발생하여 통항 안전관리가 필요한 것으로 식별되었다.

This paper is the result of a comparative analysis of crew members' workloads using the EMG and OWAS methods according to the fishing process before and after the improvement of the operating system of the experimental vessel, with the aim of improving operational efficiency and safety work of coastal improved stow net fishing vessels. The target crew members were three people with at least five years of experience on board the same fishing vessel as the experimental vessel. After improving the operating system, such as installing a power block crane and two capstans, change the location of the ball-roller, the time required for setting and hauling work decreased (p < .01), and the evaluation results by OWAS showed that the overall workload for setting and hauling net work decreased. The results of muscle activity analysis showed a decrease in lashing anchor work (p < .01) in the case of hauling net and in anchor dropping work in the case of setting net (p < .001). It is judged that the use of ball rollers in net handling has been reduced; consequently, work safety has been improved.

We analyzed work safety risk factors, which are likely to occur during fishing in gillnet fishing vessels using the written verdict of the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal from 2016 to 2020, and considered work safety management. Of the total of 37 fatal accidents, three cases in the East Sea, six cases in the South Sea, and 28 cases in the West Sea were very frequent. The accident rate per vessel by sea area (%) was 0.08% in East Sea, 0.12% in South Sea, and 0.40% in the West Sea. Based on the East Sea, the number of fatal accidents was 1.6 times higher in the South Sea and 5.4 times higher in the West Sea. Six cases (16.2%) occurred during departure and preparation for fishing in the fishing process, and all other 31 cases (83.8%) occurred during fishing operation. In the order of accident types, 21 cases (56.8%) of being struck by object, eight cases (21.6%) of contact with machinery and six cases (16.2%) of falls from height were found to be fatal accidents in gillnet fishery. Human factors, such as fishers’ carelessness and negligent safety management by captain accounted for 27 cases (73.0%) of the main cause, and 35 cases (94.6%) of the secondary cause. In addition to human factors such as fisher’s carelessness and negligent safety management by captain, mechanical factors, environmental factors and management factors must be improved together to reduce human casualties. These results are expected to be utilized as basic data for reducing safety accidents during the work of fishers.
