  • According to the MARPOL 73/78 of Convention, all ships should have oil filtering equipment and 15 ppm bilge which satisfy Requirements of MARPOL 73/78. This study is concerned with designing and manufacturing a prototype Oil content Meter(OCM) used in machinery area of ship. The prototype OCM is composed of two parts which are oil content sensing module and data processing unit. The oil content sensing module consists of infra-red light source, photo-diode light receivers, and a glass tube for bilge water sample. The data processing unit has a micro-processor as hard core and peripheral devices. The experimental results of prototype OCM and analysis of collected data reveal linear property between transmitted light and scattered light as long as the bilge water has low level content of oil. And this linear property leads to a oil content detecting method which is programmed and loaded into the data processing unit. The performance of the prototype OCM is compared with that of the commercial OCM in the market.

  • IMO에서는 MEPC58차, 59차 회기에서 선박평형수, 온실가스, 선박재활용 등 약 20종의 의제가 논의되었으며 이들 중에서 시급성을 요하는 NOx, SOx 강화기준, 유조선간 유류이송, IOPP증서 및 기름기록부의 양식변경 등에 관한 MARPOL 부속서6 및 1의 결의사항에 대하여 국내의 해양환경법에도 국제협약의 개정사항을 수용해야 한다. 또한, 정부에서는 현행의 해양 환경관리법에서 선박오염방지에 관한 법률을 분리제정하려는 동향이 있는 바 정부시책에 동참하는 선상에서 국제협약의 개정사항을 반영한 선박해양오염방지에 관한 법률 제정안을 선박검사 기관의 입장에서 제시한다.

  • There is broad agreement that emissions from the shipping sector play a large role in the global climate change debate. In theory, there is broad consensus that the industry must take decisive action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and do its part to combat global warming. The United States has made great strides in addressing emissions from ships, but it is the IMO that plays a key role in shaping global standards for the shipping industry. In the case of Korea, legislation on emissions issues has been prepared, but there are still problems with administrative power. IMO's high-level vision and change, as seen above, requires intensive efforts from industry representatives and requires intensive measures from the government responsible for implementation. It is necessary to consider regulations and the position of the shipping market. However, out of consideration and respect for the urgent reality of global climate change, ship owners, operators and holding companies will need to take voluntary steps to reduce GHG emissions instead of waiting for a new regulatory framework.

A Leg Analysis on the Discharge of Cargo Residue at Sea (화물잔류물의 해양 투입처분(배출) 사안에 대한 법률적 분석)

  • The Consultative Meeting of the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and other matter, 1972 (London Convention 1972) has requested to International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environmental Protection Committee to collaborate and help clarify a boundary issue between International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Shops, 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978 (MARPOL) and the London Convention concerning 'dumping' versus 'discharges' during normal operations of ships in 2004, and subsequently established a Joint London Convention/MEPC Correspondence Group. The Contracting Parties to London Convention expressed their environmental concerns on the broad interpretation of the "cargo-associated wastes" by the States, which could be discharged by ships under MARPOL. Regulatory regimes for the cargo residues appear to vary among states. Some countries require fur ships to discharge their cargo wastes into the port reception facility and IMO also recommends doing so. This paper examines the related current national and international legal texts for the regulation of disposal of wastes from ships in order to analyze the current global concern on the marine pollution associated with waste discharge during operations of ships. In particular, we attempt to evaluate the likely marine environmental consequences arising from the disposal of cargo residue using an hypothetical case for the coal cargo residue among bulk cargos in this paper, since location, magnitude and frequency of the discharge of coal cargo residues into the sea adjacent to Korean Peninsula are not readily available. The cargo residues may be discharged to the sea according to MARPOL 73/78; however, its marine environmental consequences can be significant depending upon the characteristics and amounts of wastes to be discharged. Also the public tolerance of the environmental consequences would be widely different among nations. Multilateral environmental agreements, in general, more strictly apply their rules if there are other options to disposal at sea, i.e. port reception facility in this case. Therefore, port reception facilities for the wastes generated by ships are recommended to be further constructed in major national ports in order to reduce the risk of environmental damages during the operations of ships.

  • As U.S. congress and I.M.O. have recently adopted strengthened MARPOL73/78 regulations on marine pollution, it is necessary to develope a new type of tankers such as Double hull tanker(D/H Tanker) and Mid-deck tanker(M/D Tanker) and so on. Because most of researches are concentrated on the volume of oil spill due to collision of ships, in this paper, a structural design program for D/H Tankers and M/D Tankers is developed to suggest the effective type of tankers by comparing structural characteristics between their types. By this program, minimum hull weight designs of D/H tankers and M/D tankers considering tank arrangement are performed and the design results are compared each other. The efficient types of hull structure for the minimum weight design between D/H tankers and M/D tankers is proposed.

  • The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ship, 1973, as modified by the Proto-col of 1978 relating thereto, well known as MARPOL 73/78, is probably the most important international agreement on the subject of marine pollution. The main purpose of the Convention is to reduce the total oil remaining on board vessel to minimum. MARPOL is a combination of different sets of rules on oil, chemicals, noxious substances in package forms, sewage and garbage as shown on each Annex. Since the Convention has globally set forth in 1973, it has amended so often whenever reasonable articles are requi-red by contracting states under guidelines of IMO. The amendments, for instance, have continuously perfo-rmed more than 8 times regarding articles, protocols, and five annexes because the original text was badly drafted as the control measures were expressed in general way. This paper, therefore, is intend to summa-rize a main point relating to each amendment, so that persons who have an interest in the Convention would be completely understand for practical implementation. Especially, for legislative purpose or annen-dement of domestic law, it could timely be contributable if specific consolidation and unified interpretations are followed with this paper. Consequently it is much more worth to study for preventing marine pollution from ship with tracing every moment whenever the Convention formally adopted through amending up-to-data.
