2020년부터 전 세계적으로 IMO 선박연료유 규정은 한층 강화될 것으로 예상되며, 일부 지역은 배출규제해역(Emission Control Area; ECA)를 지정하여 선박으로부터 배출되는 대기오염물질을 통제하고 있다. 우리나라는 항만도시의 대기오염 정도가 높으며 대기오염물질의 주요 배출원은 선박으로 밝혀지고 있어 이에 대한 대책으로써 ECA 지정을 위한 검토가 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 항만을 대상으로 ECA 지정 필요성을 검토하고 우리나라 여건에 적합한 ECA 지정방식과 절차 등 종합적인 도입방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 우리나라 항만도시의 대기환경 현황을 분석하고, 해외 ECA 지정 사례 분석을 통해 그 지정현황, 규제 수준 및 효과를 파악하였다. 또한 ECA 도입 타당성을 제시하기 위해 항만도시 거주민과 업계 종사자를 대상으로 수행한 설문조사 결과를 활용하였다. 결과적으로, 우리나라의 ECA 도입은 필요하며 향후 5년을 목표로 단계적으로 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 우선적으로 자발적으로 영해 내 ECA 도입을 추진하되, 선박 통항량이 많은 주요항만구역을 대상으로 한다. 제도의 초기 장착을 위한 인센티브 제도 마련, 관리인력 확보 및 법 제도 구축을 통해 실효성을 확보하도록 해야 한다. 장기적으로는 IMO 승인을 통해 ECA가 이행될 수 있도록 타당성 조사가 선행되어야 한다.

The 62nd session of the MARINE Environment Protection Committee was held in London from 11 to 15 July 2011. Mandatory measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from international shipping were adopted at the Committee. The amendment to MARPOL Annex VI includes a new chapter 4 to make mandatory the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all ships. This first mandatory measures on energy efficiency will enter into force on 1 January 2013. This amendment to MARPOL Annex VI will significantly influences the vast majority of the international maritime community. This paper mainly discusses the main results of MEPC 62nd session including the recent Emission Control Area.

Air pollution associated with the SOx emission from the shipboard propulsion and generation engines is becoming one of the major environmental concerns these days. Lead by the international organizations including IMO and European Union, a significantly strengthened air pollution related regulations have been introduced and they are becoming in practice as scheduled. Such rules are basically giving the guidelines for permissible SOx emission which can be only met by using high quality fuel oils with less sulfur content or operating scrubbing systems aiming at reducing SOx at the engine exhaust. Since both countermeasures can lead to the cost increase in ship building and operation, Korean shipbuilding industries, leading the world's market, need to be well aware of the ever changing regulations and be prepared with proper solutions. Here, we briefly summarize such latest rules and regulations on the air pollution at sea, and review some technical issues on the scrubbing systems available with some suggestions.

There is a growing concern about the damage to aquatic ecosystem caused by immigration of non-indigenous species. It is estimated that more than 10,000 million tons of ballast water is transported by shipping activities annually, and ballast water has been recognised as a major vector for the transplant of aquatic species across bio-geographical boundaries. The problem of harmful aquatic organism in ballast water for the control and management of ships' ballast water and sediments was adopted and diplomatic conference of IMO at February 2004. At once ballast water is transported by shipping activities for organic compounds, nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metal etc. but, It's fixing a focus only for the transported of pathogenic bacteria and non-indigenous species. Hence, this studies on the distribution of organic compounds, nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metal in ballast water during the shipping activity with the basic data which is necessary to the systemic manage of ballast water.

The business performance of port industry is steadily getting worse due to international environmental regulation. The port industry should be prepared according to ambient condition change. IMO(International Maritime Organization) is tightening up environmental regulation of vessel and maritime industry field. ECA(Emission Control Area), starting with the Baltic, has initialized and has been expanded. Korea must strengthen the control of vessel in accordance with IMO's restriction, if Korea is designated as emission control area. These situations cause the expansion of LNG-fuelled ships. Add to the larger trend of ships, Korean government should be done a preemptive action against LNG bunkering industry. This study proposes the concept of floating offshore LNG bunkering system and is conducted its economic feasibility evaluation based on empirical analysis. We examine the theoretical foundation and basic information via "A Planning Study on the Engineering Development of Floating Offshore LNG Bunkering Terminal" in 2013 and we evaluate the business potential by using the report above mentioned. The results of this study are as follows. The values of B/C analysis are between 0.679 and 2.516 depending on market share and R&D contributiveness. In case of 10.9%(market share), if market share are 50% and 60%, the value of B/C analysis are 0.697 and 0.837 respectively. Except in two cases, all remaining values are over 1.0. Moreover, the research is conducted sensitivity analysis to remove the project uncertainty. In order to maintain economical validity, a project manager have to establish business strategies which are not to cause increase of expense and sustain market share and R&D contributiveness in the scenario with normal levels.
