우리나라 기름오염 방제능력 확보기준의 타당성

Abstract

The present study has been carried out to discuss the suitability of the criteria for the determination of the on-water oil removal resource requirement in Korea by comparison with the US's criteria. According to the present criteria in Korea, the on-water response operation against the worst case discharge assuming the oil spillage of 60,000 ton from the accident of DWT 300,000 ton tanker requires the oil recovery capacity of 19,425 ki/hr (on-water recovery volume : 20,000 ton). Under the US's criteria, the recovery capacity of 16,667 ki/hr is required to respond to oil spill accident of the worst case discharge from the DWT 300,000 ton tanker (spillage: 300,000 ton). The result shows that resource requirements from the Korean criteria is 16% higher than in US criteria, indicating that the Korean criteria is reasonable.
