동해지방해양안전심판원 관할구역에서 최근 7년간 발생한 해양사고 중, 어선 선원의 실종 및 사망자는 총 67명이며, 그 중 혼자 승선하여 조업하는 총톤수 5톤 미만의 소형어선에서 발생한 실종 및 사망자는 28명 (4명/년)으로 전체 인명사고의 42%를 차지하고 있으며 총톤수 5톤 미망의 선박은 "선박직원법"의 적용을 받지 않으며 어업을 목적으로 하는 총톤수 5톤 미만의 소형어선의 경우, 선원 혼자 승선하여 조업하는 어선이 대부분인 상황이다. 또한 소형어선은 법정 무선설비를 설치할 의무가 없어 해양사고 즉, 충돌, 침몰, 전복, 실족, 기타 안전사고 등이 발생할 경우 목격자가 없는 경우 구조요청에 큰 어려움이 따르며 이는 곧 인명사고와 직결된다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 우리원 사고 사례를 중심으로 이러한 인명사고를 최소화 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 함.

A question has recently been raised as to whether a foreign officer needs to obtain a Korean endorsement in order to be able to serve on board a Korean flag ship. This is attributable to the fact that differences of viewpoint may arise as to the interpretation on the relation between the mutatis mutandis article 24(1) and the endorsement issuance article 10 bis. This study intends to propose an interpretative solution through conducting in-depth analysis on the article 25(1). The conclusions of this study can be given as follows. First, the jurisdiction over the bareboat charter ships with hire purchase shall be rested with the third country of which the flag the ship is flying, the endorsement to be issued to foreign officers have to be issued by the flag State under the STCW Convention as ameded. Second, the provisons of the ship officers' act shall not be made applicable, commensurate with the intention of legislating the mutatis mutandis article 25, to the BHC/HP in such a way that is in infringement with the jurisdiction of flag State of those foreign ships. Third, the mutatis mutandis article shall be made applicable to only such areas of manning standards not covered under the STCW Convention as amended and shall exclude those provisions pertaining to the issuance of various certificates of which the jurisdiction is rested with flag State under the international instrument. Fourth, the article 10 bis(1) is not a provision requiring foreign officers wishing to serve on a BBC/HP to obtain a Korean endorsement. In summation, the article 10 bis shall be used only in the cases where foreign officers wishing to serve on a Korean flag ship are required to obtain korean endorsement.
