Abstract

In this study, the precise shapes of sunken ships and information on seafloor topography were analyzed using data obtained from a multi-beam echo sounder. The state of each sunken ship was analyzed by processing diverse imagery data which was compared with data obtained from past investigations to determine changes in the state and circumjacent seafloor topography. Apparent changes in the seafloor topography around one sunken ship, the "Pacific Friend", were found from stern to bow as a result of continued submarine erosion and sedimentation. In the case of sunken ship "No. 7 Haeseong", the partial collapse of the bow was revealed in the seabed images captured in 2015, though it had still been intact in images captured during the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency's investigation in 2011. This partial collapse was presumed to have resulted from the effects of continued tidal currents, the cargo load of the ship and continued corrosion of the ship over a long time on the seabed. Continuous monitoring of residual fuel inside the ship is necessary to avoid leakage and potential marine pollution. By conducting image analysis on these sunken ships, it has been determined that the structural safety of the ships is seriously influenced by tidal currents and seafloor topography, while the hulls will be continuously changed by corrosion. As a result, it can be concluded that the development of prediction and response techniques that take into consideration residual fuel leakage and environmental changes according to the geological characteristics of sunken ships is necessary.

본 연구는 다중빔 음향측심 자료를 바탕으로 침몰선박의 정확한 형상 및 해저지형에 대한 정보를 분석하였다. 다양한 영상 자료처리를 통해 현재 침몰선박의 상태를 분석하였다. 해당 자료와 과거 조사 자료의 비교를 통하여 침몰선박 상태 변화 및 주변지형의 변화를 해석하였다. 분석대상 선박 중 퍼시픽프랜드호의 경우 조류에 의한 침 퇴적으로 인해 선수-선미의 지형변화가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 특징을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 제7해성호의 경우 2011년 국립해양조사원 영상자료에서는 선수 일부가 유지된 상태였으나, 2015년 조사 영상에서는 선수 일부가 붕괴된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 오랜 기간 선박이 해저에 방치되면서 조류 및 화물의 하중 등과 지속적인 부식으로 선체가 붕괴된 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 잔존연료 유출 및 주변 해양오염이 발생할 수 있어 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 침몰선박의 영상분석을 통해 침몰선박이 수심과 조류에 의한 영향을 많이 받은 지역일 경우 지질학적 특성과 퇴적물의 침 퇴적 양상에 따라 침몰선박의 구조 안전성에 상당한 영향을 줄 것으로 판단되며, 부식으로 인한 선체의 변화는 계속적으로 변화될 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 지질학적 특성을 고려한 잔존연료 유출 및 주변 환경 변화에 대하여 침몰선박의 변화에 따라 예측 대응하는 기술의 개발이 필요하다.
