A guideline for decision of dispersants use zone was developed at the twelve local sea areas covering the whole Korean sea. In this study, the water depths and damage to sensitive resources were considered as the conditions of the decision of whether or not to use dispersants. According to the conditions of the decision, three kinds of zones were specified as following; 1) dispersants usable zone, 2) dispersants use approvable zone, 3) dispersants use restrictive zone. As the result, dispersants use zone at the twelve local sea areas covering the whole Korean sea are suggested.

Recently more than 450 incidents of oil spill a year have occurred in nearshore of Korea, which caused unmeasurelable losses in fisheries and severe damage in marine ecosystem. Two approaches remain paramount in any response to marine oil spill : the enhancement of natural dispersion of the oil by using dispersants, and mechanical recovery using booms and skimmers. A technique currently receiving fresh attention is the enhancement of the natural bioremediation of oil through the application of micro-organisms and/or nutrient. Oil, like many natural substances, will biodegrade over a period of time into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide, water and biomass. Bioremediation is the term used to describe a range of processes which can be used to accelerate natural biodegradation. More specifically biostimulation is the application of nutrients, and bioaugremetation or seeding is the addition of microbes specially selected to degrade oil. Bioremediation is an economically attractive method for the clean-up of oil-contaminated area. Bioremediation has been demonstrated to be an effective oil spill countermeasure for use in cobble, sand beach, salt marsh, and mud flat environment.

부산신항은 우리나라 최대이자 세계 제6위의 컨테이너화물 처리항만으로 자리매김을 하고 있다. 최근들어서 차세대의 친환경 선박으로 벙커C 연료유 대신에 LNG 연료유를 사용하는 선박개발이 본격화되고 있다. 이에 따라서 부산신항의 항만기본개발계획에 들어 있는 유류중개기지 축조 대신에 Bunker LNG(BLNG)터미널 축조를 검토하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 BLNG터미널 개발과 관련하여 초대형 컨테이너선의 남컨 및 북컨 터미널 입항접안에 장애요소로 작용하고 있는 토도의 유무 및 호란도 절개에 따른 해사안전법 상의 해상교통안전진단시행지침에서 규정하고 있는 위험요소에 대한 충돌확률과 선박 운항자의 주관적 평가를 중심으로 안전수역 확보에 대하여 종합적으로 평가, 분석하였다.

Although hydrazine is an excellent liquid propellant, caution is required during storage and handling due to its high toxicity and reactivity. Safety guidelines should be established in consideration of the chemical reactivity by unintended leakage. In this study, the status of hydrazine facilities at launch site and safety standards for storing and handling were investigated and then, the reactivity between chemicals and hydrazine was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, hydrazine has reactivity with the exception of fuel oil. This paper emphasizes the imperative nature of constructing a dedicated hydrazine storage facility. Ensuring compatibility between hydrazine and the materials used in storage containers and handling equipment is crucial to prevent undesired reactions that could compromise safety. It was intended to be used as basic data to secure the range safety when handling hydrazine.
