摘要

虽然广泛的研究探讨了空间活动对航空公司和飞机运营者的经济和业务影响,但在空间活动对海事运营者的影响以及不遵守海事安全议定书对商业空间运营者的影响方面存在明显的差距。这项研究审查了商业空间活动与海事业务之间的动态关系所产生的复杂挑战。安全区的有效性受到质疑,因为不遵守规定导致取消或推迟发射,给空间运营商带来了巨大的成本。商业空间活动造成的干扰日益频繁,空间和船舶运营者之间可能发生利益冲突,这突出表明有必要进行监管和法律探索。对发射中断和推迟等中断的经济影响以及空间运营者的相关成本进行了审查,并对破坏海事实体的正常业务以促进盈利的私人空间公司的公平性提出了质疑。违规者对清理和延迟成本的潜在责任,海事安全和安保机构(如美国海岸警卫队(USCG))面临的管辖权挑战,以及需要监管或法律机制来执行安全区和监督责任问题是本研究探讨的关键方面。本文旨在促进在海洋和太空领域之间实现微妙平衡的对话,确保商业太空冒险的持续成功和安全,并扩大空间交通管理的复杂性和细微差别,以包括受影响的海上行动。提出了政策和监管建议,以加强进一步讨论和确定解决方案。

Commercial space launches and maritime activities: Issues and challenges
While extensive research has explored the economic and operational impacts on airlines and aircraft operators, there is a notable gap regarding the effects of space activities on maritime operators and the repercussions of non-compliance with maritime safety protocols for commercial space operators. This study examines the intricate challenges arising from the dynamic relationship between commercial space activities and maritime operations. The effectiveness of safety zones is questioned, given instances of non-compliance leading to scrubbed or postponed launches, incurring substantial costs for space operators. The escalating frequency of disruptions caused by commercial space activities and potential conflicts of interest between space and vessel operators underscore the need for regulatory and legal exploration. The economic repercussions of disruptions, such as launch scrubs and postponements, and the associated costs for space operators are examined, and the fairness of disrupting regular operations of maritime entities to facilitate profit-making private space companies is questioned. The potential liability of violators for scrub and postponement costs, jurisdictional challenges faced by maritime safety and security agencies such as United States Coast Guard (USCG), and the need for regulatory or legal mechanisms to enforce safety zones and oversee liability issues are critical aspects explored in this research. This paper intends to prompt dialogue on achieving a delicate balance between maritime and space domains, ensuring the continued success and safety of commercial space ventures, and to expand the complexity and nuances of space traffic management to include impacted maritime operations. Policy and regulation recommendations are proposed to enhance further discussion and identify solutions.

期刊介绍: Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
