Abstract

International attention on the Northern Sea Route has been increased as the decreased sea-ice extents in Northern Sea raise the possibility to develop new sea routes and natural resources. However, to protect ships' safety and pristine environments in polar waters, International Maritime Organization(IMO) has been developing the Polar Code to regulate polar shipping. The marine navigation supporting system is essential for ships traveling long distance in the Northern Sea as they are affected by ocean weather and sea-ice. Therefore, to cope with the IMO Polar Code, this research proposes the functional requirements to develop the marine navigation supporting system for the Northern Sea Route. The functional requirements derived from the IMO Polar code consist of arctic voyage risk map, arctic voyage planning and MSI(Marine Safety Information) methods, based on which the navigation supporting system is able to provide dynamic and safe-economical sea route service using the sea-ice observation and prediction technologies. Also, a requirement of the system application is derived to apply the marine navigation supporting system for authorizing ships operating in the Northern Sea. To reflect the proposed system in the Polar Code, continual international exchange and policy proposals are necessary along with the development of sea-ice observation and prediction technologies.

지구 온난화로 인한 북극해 해빙의 감소로 새로운 항로의 개척과 지하자원 개발에 대한 국제적 관심이 고조되고 있다. 국제해사기구(IMO)는 북극해를 이용하는 선박의 증가로 해양사고와 오염의 가능성이 증대됨에 따라, 폴라코드(Polar Code)를 제정하여 극지역운항매뉴얼(PWOM) 등 북극해 운항선박에 대한 기준요건의 강제화 준비를 진행 중이다. 북극해를 운항하는 선박은 해양기상 이외에도 해빙의 영향을 받으므로 안전하고 경제적인 항로를 지원해 줄 북극해 안전운항 지원시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국제해사기구 폴라코드에 대응하기 위해 북극해 안전운항 지원시스템 개발을 위한 기능적 요구조건을 도출하였다. IMO 폴라코드를 기반으로 도출된 북극해 안전운항 지원시스템의 기능적 요건은 북극해 운항선박에게 해빙관측 및 예측정보를 이용하여 경제적이고 안전한 항로를 동적으로 서비스할 수 있도록 도출되었고, 북극해 항행위험지도 생성 기법, 북극해 항해계획 기법, 해사안전정보(MSI) 생성기법을 개발하기 위한 기술적 요건으로 구성된다. 또한, 북극해 안전운항 지원시스템의 적용을 위한 요구조건을 도출하여 개발될 시스템이 IMO 폴라코드의 북극해 항행선박 인증절차에 적용하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 연구성과를 폴라코드에 반영하기 위해서는 해빙관측 및 예측기술의 개발과 함께, 지속적인 국제적인 교류 및 정책 제안 등이 계속되어야 할 것이다.
