Abstract

Korea is not only surrounded by the sea on three sides, but also has national and local rivers extending 26,843 km, so it has a geographical feature in which abundant sea and inland water surface coexist. As the number of ships operating in the inland waters is continuously increasing due to the improvement of national income, the risk of ship accidents and human casualties in the inland waters is also increasing. In this study, a macroscopic plan for the safety management of inland water ships was presented through investigation of inland water related laws and operation status analysis. As an improvement plan, as a hardware infrastructure it is proposed to secure sufficient inland water fire-boats to secure the golden time for early response to accidents and lifesaving, and to operate an institution specializing in the prevention of inland water ships accidents. And as a software infrastructure, establish departure control standards for inland water ships and the safety diagnosis system currently applied only to sea going ships, the introduction of a system tailored to the characteristics of inland water ships. The proposed inland water safety management policy is expected to contribute to the preparation of prompt and systematic countermeasures in the event of an inland water ship accident, and it is hoped that it will serve as an opportunity to continue to pay attention to safety-related research on inland water ships, which was briefly activated after the sinking of M/V Sewol.

우리나라는 3면이 바다로 둘러싸여 있을 뿐만 아니라 국가하천과 지방하천의 연장이 26,843km에 달하고 있어 풍부한 해수면과 내수면이 함께 공존하는 지리적 특징이 있다. 국민소득의 향상 등으로 내수면에서 운항하는 선박이 지속적으로 증가하고 있어 내수면에서 선박사고 및 인명사고의 위험성도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 내수면관련 법령조사 및 운영현황 분석을 통하여 거시적인 내수면 선박의 안전관리 대책 방안을 제시하였다. 그 개선방안으로 하드웨어적 인프라로서 사고 초기대응 및 인명구조의 골든타임 확보를 위한 충분한 내수면 소방정의 확보와 내수면 선박 사고예방 전문기관의 운영을 제언하며, 소프트웨어적 인프라로서 내수면 선박의 출항통제기준 마련과 현행 해수면 선박에만 적용하고 있는 안전진단제도를 기반으로 내수면 선박의 특성에 맞는 맞춤형 제도도입을 제언하였다. 이러한 내수면 안전관리 정책은 내수면 선박 사고발생 시 신속하고 체계적인 대처 방안 마련에 기여할 것으로 기대되며, 세월호 사건 이후 잠시 활성화 되었던 내수면 선박에 대한 안전관련 연구에 지속적인 관심을 갖는 기회가 되었으면 한다.
