A huge marine accident causes a loss of valuable lives, property and the serious marine environment pollution. IMO adopted resolution A.949(23) to provide Places of Refuge(PoR) to 'Ship in need of assistance', which is to minimize the secondary environmental pollution caused by marine accidents. If the level of risk exceeds a certain range, it is necessary to be designated as Places of Refuge(PoR) after evaluation of potential risk, which is based on the database of several marine environmental factors. Also, it is necessary to develop skills about quantification/standardization of vessel traffic safety, complexity and risk. Because there is the close relation between the problem of designating Places of Refuge(PoR) and the policy of nation for protecting the natural environment of coastal state, it is important to prepare related legislation. In this paper, introduction of Places of Refuge(PoR) in domestic areas have been suggested based on the analysis of several foreign designating cases.

부산신항은 지형적인 특성상 마산 방면에서 입출항하는 선박과 신항으로 입출항하는 선박이 서로 교차하는 경우가 빈번하고 대형 컨테이너선과 저속 예부선 등의 통항량이 많을 뿐만 아니라 년 중 안개일수도 많아 충돌사고 위험이 상존한다. 따라서 선박에 정보제공 정도만 하는 소극적 관제 보다는 선박의 이동에 개입하는 적극적인 관제가 사고 방지에 더욱 효과적이라 할 수 있다. 부산신항의 관제 자료 및 해양안전심판원의 재결사례 등을 통하여 충돌사고의 원인을 분석하는 과정에서 적극적 관제의 필요성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본고에서는 부산신항에서의 적극적 관제 사례와 문제점을 주로 법률적인 측면에서 살펴보고, 적극적 관제의 개선 방안을 도출하여 보았다.

On December of 2003, IMO's $23^{rd}$ Assembly discussed 'Guidelines on places of refuge for ships in need of assistance' At the discussion, Res. A.949(23) has been selected to appoint recommended place of refuge for countries signatory to the IMO Convention. IMO defines "Places of Refuge" as a places where a ship in need of assistance can take action to enable it to stabilize its condition and reduce the hazards to navigation, and to protect human life and the environment. Appointing and managing a Place of refuge can be a delicate problem because of its close connection to each country's coastal and environmental protection policies. However, in case of marine accident, the appointment or management of the place of refuge has a potential to avoid further damage and reduce to the minimum any environmental and estate losses. Currently a number of foreign countries, designated and operated a place of refuge. But, place of refuge selected method criteria were different by country and also does not have any standardized designating place of refuge model. Therefor, this study suggested the model of assigned places of refuge according to objective indication in order to assign reasonable and efficient places of refuge in domestic waters in the future by investigating and analyzing imported facts in considering the assignment of places of refuge in foreign countries and describing these imported data into quantitative value. In designating the model place of refuge, the final place of refuge location was presented by evaluating the probability of marine accidents, analyzing the location, and evaluating the supporting establishment.
