Abstract

Gamcheon Port, which is one of three major harbors in the Port of Busan, is being operated to load, discharge and transport a wide range of cargoes, including general cargo, fisheries, steel products, cement, etc,. The harbor, designated as a compulsory pilotage area, provides pilotage services in compliance with relevant laws and regulations for arrival and departure of vessels in the Gamcheon Port area. Some academic research on the marine traffic environment in Gamcheon Port has been conducted. However, the pilotage environment and hazards to pilotage safety in the port have yet to be studied. Therefore, in this research, the pilotage environment and hazards to pilotage safety were identified, and it was confirmed that there are hazards to pilotage safety, such as vessels installed poor facilities including damaged pilot boarding arrangements, vessels blocking pilot's view by her structures and fishing nets, vessels unable to communicate in English, vessels not following VTS's order. The hazards to pilotage safety were also stratified, and the importance of the hazards was verified in accordance with a survey based on Analytic Hierachy P rocess(AHP) for Busan Harbor pilots, and safety measures to secure pilotage safety were examined to secure the safety of vessels calling Gamcheon Port.

부산항의 주요 3대 항구인 감천항은 잡화, 어획물, 철재, 시멘트 등 다양한 화물의 적양하 및 환적을 위해 운영되고 있다. 그리고 도선법에 따른 강제 도선구로, 선박의 입출항 시 관련법에 따라 도선사에 의하여 도선 되고 있다. 감천항의 해상교통환경에 대한 몇몇 학술적 연구가 있었으나, 도선환경과 도선안전 위해요소에 관한 연구는 전무 한 상태였다. 본 연구에서는 감천항 도선구의 도선환경 및 도선안전위해요소에 대하여 살펴보았고, 손상된 도선사 승하선 설비를 포함한 선박의 설비가 불량한 선박, 선박의 구조물이나 어구 등에 의하여 도선사의 시야를 제한하는 선박, 영어로 의사소통이 불가한 선박, VTS의 지시를 따르지 않는 선박 등의 도선안전위해요소들이 있음을 확인했다. 또한 AHP 기법에 기반한 부산항도선사에 대한 설문을 통하여 도선안전위해요소들을 계층화하여 중요도를 확인하고, 감천항 입출항 선박들의 안전한 도선 방안에 대하여 제시하였다.
