국립대 실습선 안전운항을 위한 법제도적 개선방안

Abstract

The purpose of training ships at national universities is to acquire certification of each ship’s officers by demanding an international convention on STCW. Training ships tend to sail around the world in order to educate students with hundreds of crews and cadets. Therefore, there is a need for a strict safety management system similar to those ships such as bulk carriers, chemical ships and passenger ships. However, there are no regulations or safety management systems specifically for training ships related to the Ministry of Education so that they may operate under their own rules. Moreover, there is no legal standing with respect to training ships in any international conventions. In addition, training ships are excluded from international regulations pertaining to human resources, as they are regarded as non-commercial and government ships. In particular, training ships are excluded ISM Code and ISPS Code. It is clear that the need for a safety management system specifically for training ships is serious in Korea. In order to solve this issue, this paper seeks to understand the problem of safety management systems for training ships and to suggest legal regime to improve the safety management of training ships.
