낚시선박 안전관리를 위한 법제 개선방안

Abstract

Recently, the interest in water-related leisure activities has increased along with an income increase including the settlement of a 52-hour workweek system and breakthrough of $30,000 per capita income. In particular, the fishing population rapidly increased as the TV program with the theme of sea and fishing such as "Urban Fishermen" and "Three Meals a Day" became popular. As of 2020, the fishing population reached 6.2 million, and the number of users of fishing boats was increased from 2.24 million in 2010 to 5.07 million in 2020, making it a representative leisure activity for the people. However, along with the increase in the number of anglers using boats, marine accidents of the fishing boats have been repeated, with many casualties caused by capsize of the fishing boat ‘Dolgorae’ in 2015 and collision of the fishing boat ‘No. 1 Sunchang’ in 2017. Accordingly, the government is making efforts to reduce marine accidents of fishing boats, but no clear results have been made yet. In order to improve the safety management system of fishing boats, this study attempted to propose improvement measures by reviewing related laws and standards. If the safety management criteria of multiple-boarding vessels including fishing boats is continuously improved, not only will it be able to reduce the damage to users' lives and property caused by marine accidents, but it will also be a driving force for more and more people to enjoy marine leisure activities and develop into a powerful nation of the marine field.
