Abstract

There has always been needs for a system to respond instantly and accurately in response to major marine accidents. In analyzing the marine accident response actors in Korea, it seems that the governance system has been changed from the nation-centered to the social-volunteers organizations after M/V Hebei-Spirit marine pollution accident. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of marine accident response actor in the context of the marine accident response structure and its course of construction. The author agrees with the contention that the structure and the actor are interconnected, and then proposes the possibility of cooperative governance as being the effective marine accident response. the Cooperative governance is analyzed by three framework as government-centered governance, social organization-centered governance, and volunteer-centered governance to be suitable for analysis of marine accident response system in Korea. The Passengerships Safety Operating Management System was established due to the Namyoung-Ho accident on Dec.30 1972, and the West-sea ferries sinking accident on Oct. 1996 caused that the passenger ship safety operating manager’s supervisory authority was transferred from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to the Korean Coast Guard. In Apr. 2014, The Selwol-Ho sinking accident also caused that the passenger ship safety operating manager belonging to the KSA(Korea Shipping Assocition) was transferred to the KST(Korea Ship Safety Technology Authority) as semi-government agency(a public corporate) in order to strengthen its independence. As research implications, this paper raises the necessity to establish a cooperative governance system for the marine accident response. and suggests a working model of cooperative governance system for marine accident response. Finally, this paper proposes to establish a cooperative governance system for marine accident response, in order to minimize the damage of marine accidents by the instants and effective response.
