동남아시아국가연합 지역 내에서의 해상 HNS유출사고에 대한 협력 대응

Abstract

Marine HNS pollution from vessels is a serious issue in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region (Fig. 1). With developing international trade and economic integration among ASEAN countries, the region has undergone significant increase in seaborne transportation. HNS spills have become a common concern to the region, and multilateral cooperations within the region are required for preparedness and response to marine HNS spill incidents. Therefore, a regional program of cooperation in preparedness and response to marine HNS spill incidents should be developed and legal instruments are to be discussed. In this study, the current status of marine HNS spills and multilateral cooperations in ASEAN region will be examined.
