As the numbers cf vessels in and out cf korean ports and passing ships through korean waters are increasing, possibilities of marine accidents grow higher and damages caused by such accidents would be expected larger. The author accordingly try to seek for the appropriate measures to enhance the present korean Search and Rescue(SAR) systems and future plans comparing korean system with international movement and relevant systems of maritime advanced countries.

IAMSAR Manual 국문본인 국제항공 및 해상수색 구조편람에 따른 확대사각(SS: Expanding Square Search) 수색패턴은 수색 대상의 표류 위치를 한정할 수 있을 때 적용하도록 하고 있으며, 수색 기법에 있어 추측항법 적용의 필요성과 함께 조난대상의 표류 추정 위치인 Datum으로부터의 첫 번째 수색 방향 S의 결정은 바람이 불어오는 쪽인 풍상 측을 향하도록 하여 항해 오차를 최소화할 것을 요구하고 있다. 그러나 첫 직행 구간 S 결정에 있어 IAMSAR Manual 영문본 및 USCG SAR Manual에 따르면 S는 풍하 측 또는 표류하는 방향으로 결정하는 것이 옳은 것으로 해석될 수 있으며 이는 항해 오차를 최소화하기 위한 추측항법 적용 관점에도 부합하는 것으로 보이는바, 이 연구에서는 USCG SAR Manual 등 다른 수색 지침서에서는 Drift 방향으로 제시한 첫 번째 S 방향을 근거로 IAMSAR Manual 국문본의 오류 가능성을 제시하였고, 풍상과 풍하 측으로 상반된 첫 번째 S 방향에 따른 수색 결과의 비교를 위해 선박조종시뮬레이션을 활용, 확대사각 수색상황을 재연하여 각각의 수색패턴을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 확대사각 수색패턴 결과에서 수색 대상에 더욱 근접한 첫 번째 S 방향은 수색 대상이 표류하는 방향과 일치하는 풍하 측임을 확인하였다.

The Korea Maritime Police Agency(KMPA) is the national maritime Search and Rescuee (SAR) authority with the responsibility to promote an efficient organization of SAR services and to coordinate the conduct of SAR operations within the Korean Search and Rescue Region(SRR). The maritime SAR operations shall provide an adequate and effective search and rescue services to minimize the loss by rendering aid to persons in distress and property in the marine environment. The essence of a successful search and rescue operation is the speed with which it is planned and carried out because survivors who need assistance and whose chances of survival diminish rapidly with time. This paper aims to propose an optimal allocation model of maritime SAR fleet in view of minimizing the search and rescue time. When maritime accidents occur, rescue units have to reach to the distress scene within the specified time. For this, SAR units must be redeployed to an advanced base so that Rescue Units(RU) can reach to the scene of distress in the shortest possible time. The Korean maritime SRR is divided into 180 sub-areas in consideration of an operational and technical ability of SAR units. The suggested model is verified through an empirical application to the Korean maritime SRR. And also the Rescue Vessels(RV) required is estimated for each Rescue Co-ordination Center(RCC).

KCG, responsible Agency of maritime SAR operation has been known to address the marine casualties well, however, it was criticized because KCG failed to take prompt and effective response to the recent Ferry disaster at the very early stage. In this regards, the authors analyze the characteristics of marine incident with historical data, and also review and examine the national SAR system focusing on SAR coordination and human resources to make recommendation and suggestion in order to minimize the loss of lives to future marine incidents. As a result, KCG shall augment its capabilities, inter alia, fast libeboats and rescue helicopters for prompt response to marine incidents at the coastal waters, and KCG shall re-adjust the establishment of Rescue Coordination Center to improve operational problems of current system in accordance with IMO guidance, KCG is required to introduce mandatory training, qualification and certificate system to enhance the professionalism of SAR personnel.

많은 선박 사고에서 해상 조난자를 수색 및 구조하는데 매우 많은 시간이 소요되며, 수중에서 체온저하 등으로 적정 시간 내에 구출되지 못한 조난자의 경우 사망 위험이 매우 높은 실정이다. 이러한 위험을 줄이기 위한 기존 기술로는 발광막대, SOS 부이, SART, EPIRB 등이 있으나, 급박한 상황에서 개인이 활용하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이에 따라, 이러한 문제를 해결하고 효율적인 수색 및 구조 활동을 위한 새로운 방법을 연구하게 되었다.

Tracking model of a drifted ship lot the search and rescue mission in southern sea of Korea is studied. In this model, search area is determined by considering standard deviation of position around reference point. The reference point is estimated for a given type of ship when marine environmental conditions such as wind and current are given. A database for environmental data, which is necessary for the real-lime tracking of drilled ship, is gel)elated on southern sea and western sea of Korea. Using this database, the real-time prediction of wind and current is possible. The simulated trajectories and search area of our model ate validated by comparing with reported real data.

In the event of a marine accident, the longer the exposure time to the sea increases, the faster the chance of survival decreases. However, because the search area of the sea is extremely wide compared to that of land, marine object detection technology based on the sensor mounted on a satellite or an aircraft must be applied rather than ship for an efficient search. The purpose of this study was to rapidly detect an object in the ocean using a hyperspectral image sensor mounted on an aircraft. The image captured by this sensor has a spatial resolution of 8,241 × 1,024, and is a large-capacity data comprising 127 spectra and a resolution of 0.7 m per pixel. In this study, a marine object detection model was developed that combines a seawater identification algorithm using DBSCAN and a density-based land removal algorithm to rapidly analyze large data. When the developed detection model was applied to the hyperspectral image, the performance of analyzing a sea area of about 5 km² within 100 s was confirmed. In addition, to evaluate the detection accuracy of the developed model, hyperspectral images of the Mokpo, Gunsan, and Yeosu regions were taken using an aircraft. As a result, ships in the experimental image could be detected with an accuracy of 90 %. The technology developed in this study is expected to be utilized as important information to support the search and rescue activities of small ships and human life.

2010년 3월 26일 21시 45분경, 백령도 서남쪽 1.6km(1마일)해상에서 대한민국 해군의 초계함 천안함이 원인 미상의 사고로 침몰한 사건이 발생하였다. 이에 연안공학자의 입장에서는 수색 및 구조에 필요한 기초자료인 해상조건들을 제공하고 시뮬레이션을 통한 보다 자세한 예측 및 유추가능한 자료를 제공한다는 것은 뜻깊은 일임에 틀림없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 백령도-대청도 부근해역의 기상, 파랑, 조석 및 조류, 저질, 부유사 상태등을 조사 분석하고 이를 기초로 해역특성을 분석하였다. 사건당시의 유속상황은 소조기(neap tide)-중조기 (mean tide) 사이에 해당하며 3월 26일이 지나고 4월 3~4일까지는 유속이 가장 강한 대조기 (spring tide)가 진행되는 시점으로 수색 및 구조작업에 에로사항이 있는것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 21:00-22:00 경은 낙조가 진행 중에 있기 때문에 물질이동은 남동쪽이 우세할 것으로 보이며 특히, 불규칙한 해저지형으로 인하여 급격한 와류 등이 존재할 것으로 판단되어 입자추적실험을 수행하였다. 수행 결과, 입자는 유속상황에 따라서, 초기에는 남동쪽으로 이동하지만 장기 예측결과, 외해쪽으로 흘러가는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통하여 추후, 수색작업의 범위를 외해쪽으로 확대시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다.
