Abstract

Abstract This study investigates whether the International Safety Management (ISM) Code remains an effective regulatory tool for the shipping industry by analysing maritime accident statistics published for the last 32 years by the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal, 24 years by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and seven years by the European Maritime Safety Agency. For this purpose, the data were divided into four groups: pre-ISM Code, in-transit, post-1 and post-2 periods, and tested by multilateral comparative analysis. The results show that the Korean merchant fleet has no improvement over the periods, whereas the world merchant fleet has a continual decrease in serious casualties. This study confirmed a trend of maritime accidents in recent years: fewer in number but heavier in damage. Conclusively, the results suggest that IMO and decision-makers in the maritime industry must review the ISM Code again and seek solutions to achieve the goal of continual improvement, as specified in the code.

通过对韩国水域海事事故的多边比较分析对ISM规则持续有效性的验证研究

摘要本研究通过分析韩国海事安全法庭(Korea maritime Safety Tribunal)过去32年、国际海事组织(IMO)过去24年以及欧洲海事安全局(European maritime Safety Agency)过去7年发布的海上事故统计数据，调查了《国际安全管理规则》(ISM Code)是否仍然是航运业的有效监管工具。为此，将数据分为ism Code前、在途、1期后和2期后四组，通过多边比较分析进行检验。结果表明，韩国商船队在这段时间内没有任何改善，而世界商船队的严重伤亡人数持续下降。这项研究证实了近年来海上事故的趋势:数量减少，但损失更大。最后，结果表明，海事组织和海运业的决策者必须再次审查ISM规则，并寻求解决方案，以实现规则中规定的持续改进的目标。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
