Abstract

In installing ballast water treatment system, the cost of the system is high and many technical aspects are to be considered and also it takes significant time to retro-fitting on the existing ships. In addition, in the current circumstance which the Ballast Water Management Convention has not been entered into force, the 28th IMO Assembly adopted a resolution to mediate the implementation schedule of the treatment systems. In the mean time, California State and New York State have declared more stringent discharge requirements of ballast water and are planning to implement them earlier than the schedule of the Convention. In these circumstances, the implication in the difference between ballast water treatment system manufacturers and ship owners need to be considered. In this study, through the review on the considerations when installing the system onboard, stringent requirements of United States of America, and determent or mediated implementation schedules of Convention and California and New York States, the author would like to suggest the strategy of concerned parties for anticipated entrry into force of the Convention and implementation of the stringent requirements of United States of America.

평형수처리장치는 고가이며, 현존선에는 설치시 기술적으로 고려할 사항이 많고 설치시간 또한 많이 걸린다. 더불어, 평형수관리협약이 발효되지 않은 상황에서 총회 결의로 탑재시기를 조정하였으며, 미국의 캘리포니아주 및 뉴욕주에서는 IMO D-2 규칙보다 엄격한 평형수 배출 기준을 적용하고자 하고 있으며, 그 시행시기도 협약보다 조기에 시행하고자 하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 평형수처리장치 제조자와 선주의 이해가 상이한 부분의 고려가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 선박 탑재시의 고려사항, 미국의 강화된 기준 및 협약의 시행시기 유예 사항을 검토하여, 앞으로 다가올 선박평형수관리협약의 발효와 미국의 강화된 기준 시행에 대비한 각 이해 당사자들의 전략을 제시하고자 한다.
