Abstract

After the Sewol ferry disaster, the maritime safety supervisor system was introduced to strengthen maritime safety control for coastal vessels. If any critical defect is found in vessel facilities during periodical or occasional guidance and supervision on a vessel, a maritime safety supervisor takes an administrative measure: detention of the vessel until it has been completely corrected. The detention order is one of the most powerful regulations exercised by a maritime safety supervisor. It would not be an overstatement to say that the guidance and supervision conducted by a maritime safety supervisor is very important for the safety of a vessel and protection of the maritime environment. However, the regulatory level of each Regional Office of Oceans and Fisheries toward vessels may vary with the enforcers, and an individual's intentional act or negligence might occur during the execution process. Detention of a coastal vessel by the Regional Office of Ocean and Fisheries can easily lead to delayed navigation, and a vessel owner may suffer economic loss from suspension of a charter party. Nevertheless, the Maritime Safety Act does not prescribe filing a petition for objection to the measure of detention order by a maritime safety supervisor. To overcome this problem, therefore, the objection procedure under the Maritime Safety Act has to be reformed to reclaim a right against an inappropriate detention order measure caused by an individual's intentional act or negligence through a formal objection.

세월호 사고 이후 내항선 분야의 해사안전관리를 강화하기 위하여 해사안전감독관 제도가 도입되었다. 이들은 선박에 대한 정기 및 수시 지도·감독 중 선박의 시설 분야에서 중대한 결함사항이 발견되면 시정이 완료될 때 까지 선박의 항행을 정지하는 행정처분을 하고 있다. 항행정지명령은 내항선박에 대하여 해사안전감독관이 행사하는 강장 강력한 규제행위의 일종이다. 선박의 안전과 해양환경보호를 위한 해사안전감독관에 의한 내항선박의 지도·감독의 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 그러나 각 지방해양수산청의 선박에 대한 규제의 정도는 이를 집행하는 사람에 따라 다소의 개인차가 있을 수 있으며, 집행과정에서 개인의 고의 또는 과실이 발생할 수가 있다. 지방해양수산청에 의한 선박의 억류는 선박운항 상의 지체를 가져오기 쉽고, 용선계약의 정지에 의하여 선박의 소유자는 많은 경제적 손실을 입을 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 해사안전법에서는 해사안전감독관에 의한 항행정지명령의 행정처분에 대하여 이의신청과 같은 불복절차를 규정하지 않고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 지도·감독의 근거가 되는 해사안전법 상에 개인의 고의 또는 과실에 의한 부당한 항행정지 행정처분에 대하여 이의신청을 통한 권리의 구제가 가능하도록 제도를 개선해야 한다.
