인간이 환경을 보전 복원하고자 하는 목적은 자연이 인간에게 제공하는 환경서비스를 지속적으로 공급받기 위함이다. 이러한 측면에서 유류오염에 대응하고 복원하는 근본적인 목적은 인간의 생활 및 생산환경의 지속성을 유지하기 위한 것이라 할 수 있다. 즉, 유류유출의 사회경제적 피해영향 및 복원정도 모니터링은 손상된 자연환경의 기능 회복에 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 사회경제적 영향평가는 직간접적 관련자들의 이해와 직결되어 있어 적절한 조사 및 평가 방법을 선택하는 것이 어렵고 결과를 해석하는 것도 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 허베이 스피리트호 유류유출 사고를 대상으로 생활 및 생산환경 피해 모니터링의 주요 지표인 수산, 관광부문의 영향평가를 위해 기존의 문헌 및 통계자료조사 외에 지역주민 체감조사를 병행하였다. 조사 결과, 복원의 수준은 40~50 % 수준이고, 복원정도는 둔화 혹은 감소하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 체감조사결과가 문헌 및 통계자료 조사결과 보다 2~10 점 정도 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 결론적으로 기존의 사회경제적 영향평가를 위해 기본적으로 수행하여 왔던 문헌 및 통계자료를 통한 분석이 피해영향 복원의 지표로 삼기에는 한계가 있음을 보여주었고, 실제 피해지역 주민들이 체감하는 영향과 복원정도에 대한 분석의 필요성을 제기하였다.

To find characteristics and areas of greater risk of oil spill at the coastal waters in Korea, some of risk factors were analyzed with historical data of oil spill and marine traffic. As a result, it is characterized that frequency of oil spill is increasing year by year and greatest percentage of spill source is fishing boat. It is proposed that the ports of Ulsan, Yeosu, Incheon and Pusan will be designated as primary area of risk as they have a higher risk of oil spills and its response authority is required to maintain appropriate regional response capability for prompt and effective response to a future spill incident. In addition, the regional response equipments at Ulsan are examined under a assumption of a medium size spill and it is found that the use of chemical dispersant can be an alternative when mechanical containment and recovery is not feasible in this area, and the existing response equipments may be appropriate to address that size of spill. However, the response authority is required to maintain more numbers of stronger boom for unsheltered waters and more quantity of concentrate dispersant to disperse all spilled oils on the water, furthermore the response authority should be prepared for a possible future catastrophic spill with sufficient equipments.

Removal of spilled oil over the sea and the river has become one of the urgent problems in these days. Removing oil using mechanical devices was recommended because chemical dispersion could cause the secondary contamination in the environment. In the present study a series of experiments were carried out to study the effect of operating conditions, especially, the angle between the belt and the fluid surface on the rate of recovery for the spilled oil using a belt skimmer. Three different types of operation, namely, upward pickup, downward pickup and up-and-downward pickup situations have been investigated for various contact angles, belt speeds and oil thicknesses to find the effects on the recovery rate. The highest rate of oil recovery was found in the case of a contact angle of $45^{\circ}$ and downward pickup. Furthermore, an optimal belt speed was found to reach the saturated recovery rate for a given oil thickness.

We reviewed various oil-spill models and condensed the integrated information into a prediction model, “Green Sea Ranger”which is applicable to Korean coastal area. The developed software consists of pre- and post-modules for environment setup and display of results and main module for the prediction of oil\`s fate. In the pre-module target areas can be selected from the included geographic information system and various environmental and optional numerical data for the prediction can be input through easy GUI or imported from the database we established. For the fate of the spilt oil we included effects of spreading, advection, evaporation, and emulsification. Preliminary numerical experiment has proved that the developed oil-spill prediction system can be easily utilized in on-site oil recovery operations which usually require a quick and reasonable prediction.

In Korea for 20 years(1993-2012), total number and average annual number of oil spills were 6,608 cases and total volume and average annual volume of oils spilt were $57,328k{\ell}$ and nearly $2,866k{\ell}/year$, respectively. The annual number of oil spills and annual amount of oil spilt tended to decrease with the lapse of year in Korea. As oil transportation worldwide continues to increase, many communities are at risk of oil spill disasters and must anticipate and prepare for them. Factors that influence oil spill consequences are myriad and rage from the biophysical to the social. In this paper, we analysed the emergency response systems and recovery apparatuses for oil spill accident in marine and proposed a developed oil diffusion apparatus which can be used to initial response stage by crew, and to extend golden times. This system can be minimized casualties for rescued people in disaster.

우리나라는 대규모 유류오염사고가 발생한 경우 방제자원이 충분하지 않아 방제에 어려움을 겪었으며, 또한 방제에 동원된 어선이 효과적인 방제를 수행하지 못해 작업비용이 거부되는 사례도 이전 사고에서 경험하였다. 이에 대규모 유류오염사고 등을 대비하여 방제자원을 사전에 확보하고 또한 유류오염으로 인하여 많은 피해를 입게 되는 오염지역의 어선을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 방안의 일환으로 소형 선박에 장착하여 기름을 회수할 수 있는 효율적 장비를 개발하고 이를 정책화하는 것이 중요한 대안이 될 수 있다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서 국내 실정에 맞는 소형선박 장착용 기름회수장비 개발을 위한 예비 단계로서 이러한 장비의 장착에 적합한 대상 선박의 선정을 위한 연구를 수행하였다.

After the Sea Prince oil spill accident in 1995, the korean government has taken a measure to establish an emergency response system and equip clean-up capacity against large spill, major contents of which are as follows: First, Korea Marine Pollution Response Corporation has been established as a non-government organization for recovery of spilled oil in order to improve private response capabilities. Second, clean-up equipments, such as large clean-up vessels and oil fences for the open sea operation has been expanded. Third, a national contingency plan on the large spill accidents has been established compliance with the provisions of Article 6 of the OPRC 1990. However, there exist some problems in the national response system, such as clearly roles definition between government and private agencies; propel amendment of the Marine Pollution Prevention Act to incorporate major contents of the OPRC 1990; and training and exercises of clean-up personnel. With the above problems in mind, this paper reviews the current issues on the national oil pollution response system and recommends policy-making to tackle to those problems.

2007년 12월 7일 발생한 허베이 스피리트호 유류오염사고는 약 $12,547k{\ell}$의 원유를 유출하였으며, 한반도 서해안 약 370km의 오염을 발생시켰다. 이 사고는 우리나라에서 발생한 유류오염사고 중 최악의 유출사고로 기록되고 있으며, 해양 생태계와 인근 주민에 막대한 피해를 야기하였다. 사고 이후 10년 가까이 지난 현재 사고에 대한 보상과 복원이 진행되고 있으나, 사고의 영향이 완전히 해소되진 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 허베이 스피리트 유류오염사고를 두가지 측면에서 분석하였다. 먼저 사고 당시의 기록에 근거하여 사고의 근본 원인을 분석하고, 사고의 재발 방지를 위한 법적 제도적 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 또한, 사고로 인한 피해 복구와 주민 피해 보상 과정을 검토하고, 피해 복구와 보상과정의 현황과 이로 인한 영향을 분석하였다. 특히 피해 복구와 보상과 관련해서는 손해배상의 수준, 법적 인정 사례, 피해 보상 영향 등을 검토하였으며, 이를 통해 사고의 피해와 복구 과정에서 나타난 사고 영향을 분석하였다. 아울러 이를 근거로 허베이 스피리트호 사고 피해와 복구의 사회경제적, 환경 생태학적 타당성을 포괄적으로 검토하였다.

The ocean is now increasingly suffering from pollution mainly caused by oil spill accidents roil increasing marine transportation. It cause not only the deterioration of ocean resources but also critical damage on the ocean ecosystem. Present study is an experimental one for the development of the oil skimmer which can collect spilled-oil actively and effectively from the sea surface. As an effort of achieving it, a new type of water wheel attached nil skimmer was devised, based upon the concept of orifice. The shapes of the water wheel, blades and oil storing tank are found to be very important factors on the oil skimming performance through systematic experimental analysis. Real oil recovery test was also carried out in square tank using the oil skimmer with their optimal shapes. Quite satisfactory result are obtained from the test which showed 99% and 98% recovery rates for light oil and heavy oil in still water condition, respectively.

Removal of spilled oil over the sea and the river has become one of the urgent problem in these days. Removing oil using mechanical devices are recommended because chemical dispersion can cause the secondary contamination in the environment. In the present study a series of experiments were carried out to study the effect of working conditions of a belt type skimmer on the rate of recovery for the spilled oil. The oil chosen for the present experiment was diesel oil. Three different situations, namely, upward, downward, up-and-downward pickup have been investigated for various contact angles, belt speeds and oil thicknesses. The results show that the rate of oil recovery for the case of downward pickup with a contact angle of 45.deg. shows the highest among all the conditions. For the removal of spilled diesel oil the optimal belt speed can be found as the critical value to reach the saturated pickup rate for a given oil thickness. The recovery rate of bunker C oil shows 4-6 times higher than that for diesel oil. And the optimal belt speed for bunker C oil can be found less than that for diesel oil for the same slick thickness.
