VTS관제구역 안에서 항행 중인 선박이 개항을 입출항하거나 지정된 통항분리수역을 항행하면서 규정된 항법을 준수하지 아니하고 있으며, 이로 인해 해양사고(좌초 및 충돌사고)가 발생하고 있다. 이에 사고사례를 통해 사고당시 VTS관제사가 취한 조치와 향후 해양사고예방을 위한 적절한 VTS관제에 대하여 의견을 제시하고자 한다.

현재 선박교통관제는 「해사안전법」과 「선박의 입항 및 출항 등에 관한 법률(이하 선박입출항법 )」에 이원화 되어 최소 사항만을 규정하고 세부운영규정은 「선박교통관제의 시행 등에 관한 규칙」 등에 위임되어 있다. 법률 소관 부처와 집행기관이 상이함에 따라 법체계를 일원화하고 벌칙 규정들을 선박교통관제 관점에서 면밀히 검토하여 이를 토대로 향후 제정 예정인 「선박교통관제법」의 효율적 집행과 강화 방안을 마련함에 이 연구 목적을 두고자 한다.

2019년 2월 러시아 선적의 씨그랜드호가 부산 용호부두에 입항하여 출항하는 과정에서 부산항관제센터에 입출항 신고를 하지 않고 요트와 광안대교와 충돌한 후 사고보고도 하지 않았다. 총톤수 500톤 이상의 선박은 도선사를 승선시켜야 하나 부두앞 공간이 좁은 용호부두이지만 부산항도선구에서 제외되어 있어 도선사도 승선하지 않았다. 현재 VTS에 의한 모니터링 수준의 관제와 출입항법 위반선박에 대한 벌금규정만으로는 사고재발 방지대책으로 부족하므로 해양안전감시시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다.

The Korean government has designated speed-limit zones and speed limits in 19 ports and 3 routes to ensure safe navigation and transportation. However, the speed limit differs from port to port, no practical means of management exist. This often leads to violation of the speed limit. Additionally, ship collisions due to human error continue to occur. First, the study analyzed marine accidents that occurred at trade ports and fairways. The result of the analysis revealed the occurrence of 1344 accidents (average 269 cases per year) from 2014 to 2018. Five hundred sixty three accidents involved fishing boats, whereas, merchant vessels were involved in 508 cases. Second, the efficacy of the application of voice and message warnings to GPS plotters and electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) was reviewed, and these were proposed as measures to inform vessel operators of the hazards of speed limit violation. Third, experts' opinions from relevant agencies and navigation system manufacturers were consulted and it was found that the proposed warning function was technically implementable. The findings are expected to help reduce human error among ship operators and establish a Korean e-navigation system.

Every vessel shall proceed at a safe speed to avoid collision. Additionally, every vessel shall comply with the speed limit rules in the territorial water and internal waters of Korea. The VTS operator shall properly control the compliance of the vessel with the safe speed and speed limit rules. Safe speed under the COLREG 1972 is not explicitly stipulated in knots. However, under the Domestic law for traffic safety-specific sea areas, etc., the speed limit is specified in knots and complied with. This speed limit rule is mainly based on the 'speed made good over the ground'; however, in some places, it is based on the 'speed making way through the water'. In this paper, I analyzed marine accidents that occurred in the past 5 years and the rate of violation of speed limits. Furthermore, I reviewed safe speed under the COLREG 1972, speed limit rules under domestic and foreign laws, and cases of non-compliance with safe speed in the judgment of the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal. Resultantly, I suggested in this paper that the speed limit rules in the domestic law must be observed by vessels to prevent marine accidents, and the rules which are stipulated in terms of 'speed making way through the water' must be revised as 'speed made good over the ground' such that the vessels can easily comply with them and the VTS operator can control the vessel properly.
