Abstract

After the Sewol ferry-sinking incident in 2014, the public interest in safety at sea increased. In order to save and secure the initial response time required for sea rescues, not only the rescue organization, but also the victim needs to save and maintain golden time to secure the necessary time for rescue personnel. The purpose of this study was to investigate ways to maintain the psychological stability of victims during their rescue in the case of a mass rescue operation by using the oil boom installed on board oil spill response vessels. Through buoyancy tests and the development of oil booms in sea areas, it confirmed the buoyancy of two adults weighing 70 kg each per meter of oil boom could be maintained when a lifeline was installed on the side of the oil boom, and that it was possible to keep afloat four persons weighing 70 kg each on both sides of the oil boom. It also confirmed the buoyancy for three adults weighting 70 kg each per eight meters was maintained when riding on the top of the oil boom. As a method of rescue, it was found that the fastest and most accurate way to rescue victims was a rescue boat held at the rear end of the oil boom to lead to victims. In conclusion, the rescue team could utilize the oil boom installed on board the oil spill response vessel located near the marine accident site to save and secure the initial response time required for the rescue team to arrive. The victims in distress holding onto the lifeline or riding on the top of oil boom kept afloat at sea could maintain their psychological stability until the mass rescue operation initiated.

2014년 세월호 침몰사고 이후 해상에서의 안전에 대한 국민적 관심이 높아져 왔다. 해상에서 인명구조에 필요한 초기 대응시간을 확보하기 위해 구조기관의 골든타임뿐만 아니라 조난자도 구조대원이 현장에 도착하기까지 필요한 시간을 확보할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 유류오염방제정(이하 방제정)에 비치된 오일펜스를 활용하여 다수의 인명들을 구조할 때 조난자의 심리적 안정을 유지하고 안전하게 인명을 구조하는 방안에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 실 해역 실험을 통해 오일펜스의 측면에 구명줄 설치 시 1 m 당 70 kg 성인 2명의 부력을 유지할 수 있고 양측면에는 4명을 유지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 오일펜스 상부에 탑승 시 8 m 당 성인 3명에 대한 부력이 유지되고 있음을 확인하였다. 구조 방법으로는 방제정에서 설치한 오일펜스 후단을 잡고 고속단정이 조난자에게 접근시키는 것이 가장 신속하고 정확하게 구조하는 방법임을 확인하였다. 이 결과로 오일펜스를 활용하여 구조기관이 구조에 필요한 시간을 확보하고 아울러 조난자가 구조 시까지 심리적 안정을 가질 수 있어 다수의 인명들을 구조할 때 구조 방안으로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
