선박 충돌사고는 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 충돌사고의 대부분은 연안에서 운항하는 중소형 크기 선박들과 관련된다. 충돌사고는 해양사고의 9%이지만, 충돌로 인한 인명피해는 전체의 34.4%를 차지한다. 근래 충돌사고에 대한 해양안전심판원 심판과정에서 해양사고 관련자들이 사고 당시 청명한 날씨였음에도 상대 선박의 항해등이 미약하거나 제대로 보이지 않았다는 주장을 자주 한다. 특히 연안이나 항만 내에서 발생한 충돌의 경우 더욱 그러하다. 이에 따라 항해등에 대한 현황과 안전성 분석이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 항해등 관련 국내외 규칙과 전문도서 내용을 살펴보고, 다른 교통수단 즉, 항공기와 열차 및 자동차 등화를 분석하며 항해등과 차이점을 비교한다. 또한, 현재 해상교통환경을 살펴보고 최근 5년간 발생한 충돌사고를 분석하며, 선박 운항자와 선박 안전업무 종사자를 대상으로 항해등에 관한 설문조사를 실시한다. 최종적으로 현재 항해등에 관한 개선방안을 제시한다.
Collision accidents happen frequently. The majority of ships involved in collisions in the coastal areas of Korea are middle and small size ships. The proportion of collision accidents is only 9% of all types of marine accidents; however, the number of casualties resulting from collisions is 34.4% of all human life damages. Generally, as reported by the people involved in these collisions, the navigation lights of the opponent ships were poor and invisible when the accident happened even though the weather and visibility were good. Furthermore, there are many insistences for poor navigation light conditions of the opponent ship in the bay or harbor. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the present conditions and safety of navigation lights. Therefore, in this study, we examined the rules and books of navigation lights and compared it to that of other transportation systems, such as aircraft, trains, and road vehicles. Furthermore, we analyzed the current marine traf ic circumstances and ship collision accidents that happened in the past 5 years. Additionally, a questionnaire was prepared to gather the opinion of ship experts and secure the objectivity for improvement methods of navigation lights. Finally, methods to improve the navigation lights on ships were devised.
