Abstract

Following the application of Formal Safety Assessment(FSA) to bulk carriers, crude oil tankers and large passenger ships, an urgent need to consider the safety of general cargo ships has recently been raised through the International Maritime Organization(IMO)(IMO, 2006a), and related FSA studies are being carried out by International Association of Classification Societies(IACS) as a preparatory work for the discussion on the issue of general cargo ship safety in the IMO committee. FSA is a structured and systematic methodology which is based on the techniques of risk analysis and cost benefit assessment to assist in the decision-making process, and aims at enhancing maritime safety, including protection of life, health, the marine environment and property. FSA can be used as a tool to facilitate the development of regulatory changes equitable to the various parties, with a view to aiding the achievement of consensus, and to help in the evaluation of new regulations and in making a comparison between existing and possibly improved regulations(IMO, 2007). This study aims at verifying the usefulness of FSA methods as a tool to conduct a safety assessment of general cargo ships flying the Korean flag, and providing useful information on 'the safety of general cargo ships' for IMO committee's discussion on the matter at a future session. FSA comprises five steps, however, steps 1(Hazard identification) and 2 (Risk analysis) from the FSA study for the Korean-flagged general cargo ships are discussed in this paper.

최근 IMO에서는 산적화물선 및 유조선, 대형여객선에 이어 '일반화물선의 안전(general cargo ships safety)'에 대한 논의의 필요성이 제기(IMO, 2006a)되고 있으며, 본격적인 논의를 위한 준비 작업으로 국제선급협회(IACS)를 통한 공식안전성평가(Formal Safety Assessment, 이하 FSA) 작업이 수행되고 있다. FSA란 위험도(risk)분석과 비용-효과 평가(cost-benefit assessment)를 바탕으로 인명, 해양환경 및 재산의 보호를 포함한 해사안전의 향상을 목적으로 한 구조화되고 체계적인 방법론으로서 새로운 법규의 평가, 기존법규와 새로운 (제안) 법규와의 비교, 그리고 여러 이해관계자의 공감대 형성을 통해 법규 변경/개발을 용이하게 하는 수단이다(IMO, 2007). 본 연구는 국적일반화물선의 안전성 평가를 위한 수단으로서 IMO FSA방법론의 유용성을 확인하고, 향후 IMO에서의 '일반화물선 안전'에 대한 논의에 대응하기 위한 기초자료의 확보를 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국적일반화물선에 대한 FSA의 1, 2 단계에 해당하는 위험요소 식별(Hazard identification) 및 사고시나리오에 대한 위험도 분석(Risk analysis) 결과를 중심으로 소개하였다.
