Abstract

For smooth implementation of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention that is to come into effect in the near future, IMO and Member States are working on the development of various technologies and establishment of legislative action. Ballast water treatment systems are essential, yet difficult technologies, as they need not only to treat living organisms, but also define whether they are viable or not, count the number of viable organisms, and present quantitative results of the concentration of active substances. Despite the fact that the Convention is looming in the near future, the issues mentioned above obstruct the setup of consensual technologies for performance reliability of the treatment system and analysis method of efficacy test results. This paper considers the unsolved issues of the ballast water treatment technologies, and presents guidelines to solve these issues.

IMO와 회원국들은 곧 발효가 될 IMO 선박평형수 관리협약의 원활한 이행을 위하여 각종 기술을 개발하고 법적 제도를 구축하고 있다. 선박평형수 처리장치는 살아있는 생물의 처리 뿐만 아니라, 처리된 생물의 생존 여부, 생존 생물의 개체수 그리고 활성물질의 농도 등을 정량적으로 제시해야 하기 때문에 매우 중요하고도 매우 어려운 기술이다. 이러한 문제들로 인하여 협약이 발효를 앞두고 있음에도 불구하고 처리장치 성능의 신뢰성과 효능시험 결과의 분석 방법에 대한 합의된 기술이 아직 완전히 구축되지 않았다. 본 고에서는 선박평형수 처리장치 기술의 미해결 문제를 고찰하고, 이들 문제를 해결하기 위한 기술 개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
