Abstract

Since marine accidents cause large-scale damage to human lives and the marine environment, prompt response measures are crucial including salvage operations for ships and cargoes along with lifesaving operations. In Korea, marine salvage operations are mainly dependent on global salvage companies in case of large-scale marine accidents due to lack of national capacity for marine salvage. The purpose of this study was to suggest public measures for the promotion of the private salvage industry by identifying the current situation and problems in the domestic marine salvage industry. As a result of the study, the measures of setting up a dedicated agency to support the domestic salvage industry and the function of the dedicated agency were identified and presented. In addition, the main points of the bill of "Law on the Promotion of the Domestic Salvage Industry" were presented to support and promote the salvage industry. To prepare the draft bill of law, relevant domestic laws and international conventions were examined to define the terms and regulations. Based on the legislation enacted as a result of this study, relevant ministries should focus on the legislative process. Legislation can be pursued by competent ministries in cooperation with the private sector and academia. It is expected that this study will help in the development of the domestic marine salvage industry and enhance the national response capacity for marine accidents in Korea.

해양사고는 대규모 인명피해와 해양환경 피해를 가져오므로 인명구조와 함께 선박 및 화물에 대한 신속한 구난작업이 중요하다. 우리나라의 경우 국내 구난역량이 미흡하여 대형해양사고 발생 시 구난작업은 대부분 해외 대형구난업체에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 구난산업의 현황과 문제점을 도출하여 민간 구난산업의 육성을 위한 정부의 지원방안을 제시하는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 구난산업의 현황분석을 위해 산업계 현장조사 및 종사자들과 면담을 실시하였고, 민간 구난산업 육성방안으로 구난산업 지원전담기관의 설치방안과 전담기관에서 수행해야 할 기능을 식별하여 제시하였다. 또한, 구난업의 진흥 및 국가 해양사고 대응역량 강화를 위하여 '구난산업의 육성에 관한 법률안'의 주요 골자를 제시하였다. 법률안 초안 마련을 위해 관련 국내법과 국제협약을 폭넓게 검토하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 제시된 법령 제정방안을 바탕으로 관계부처가 중심이 입법 활동이 추진되어야 하며, 성공적인 입법을 위해서는 관련 학계와 민간업계의 협력이 요구된다. 본 연구가 국내 해양 구난산업의 발전 및 국가의 해양사고 대응역량 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.
