Marine Accidents in East Sea and Forging of Maritime Risk Governance

The ‘risk community’ not only emerges as an imperative around the world, but also tells us that there are also pervasive disasters or dangers. As shown in the large marine accident, Sewol Ferry in Korea, the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan, and the recent Corona 19 transmission in Diamond Princess, it is an imminent event both in Korea and around the world. Notwithstanding, there are few studies of peripheral risks or disasters. From this point of view, it is necessary not only to compare between Japan and Korea, but also to grasp the trend of changes in various marine accidents in the East Sea, the surrounding waters of these countries, and actively respond to them. Moreover, marine accidents are not only limited to one country s problems, but there is also a need for a careful comparative analysis and consideration as there are multiple and complex elements that require international cooperation, that is‘Maritime Risk Governance’ in East Sea Rim. This will serve as a catalyst for the sociological theory and practice of the ‘risk society’. In Japan, marine accidents of small ships for fishing and leisure boats occupy a large number, and in Korea, marine accidents of fishing boats are also frequent. In the case of Japan, so as to prevent marine accidents in the Sea of Japan(East Sea) in advance, while a detailed survey by sub-region has been conducted, the marine guard in Japan encourages to install an automatic identification system(AIS) in small vessels. Korea still does not consider introducing the AIS for small vessels. Safety regulations for small ships in Korea need to be thoroughly investigated, as there are exceptions to the regulations on safety management for small ships in each maritime law, so that safety management loopholes can be found.
