국내 선박평형수처리설비 산업 육성을 위한 효과적인 지원정책 분석

Abstract

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) enacted the "Ballast Water Management Convention" in 2004 to reduce marine pollution, and after it came into effect in 2017, vessels operating between nations are obliged to equip BWMS. It was decided to install a water treatment device. Due to global climate change, emission regulations for water used on ships are being tightened every year. Since the market was formed in 2004, domestic manufacturer who makes Ballast water management system(BWMS) have maintained a market share of over 50%, but recently, fierce competition has continued due to the growth of multinational companies such as China and Europe. Most of the domestic companies concerned are composed of relatively small and medium-sized enterprises and carry out economic activities, so the environmental conditions are insufficient compared to large enterprises, and many support policies at the national level to make up for this. In this study, in order to explore the case of support policy for companies in the domestic BWMS market and to present the direction of policy development, theoretical research and empirical research based on previous research were constructed in parallel. In the empirical analysis, AHP analysis was conducted by dividing companies that sell BWMS, small-scale companies that supply accessories to the BWMS companies, research institutes related to the industry, and classification. Among BWMS sales companies, technology development support is the most weighted, followed by financial support, sales channel support, productivity improvement support, and human resources support. In the case of small-scale companies that supply accessories to the BWMS companies, financial support is the largest weighted value, followed by technology development support, human resources support, sales channel support, and productivity improvement support. Research institutes related to the industry show weighted results in the same order as small-scale companies that supply accessories to the BWMS companies, and it is judged that policy research that can reduce the difference between BWMS sales companies and policy research institutes is necessary. The purpose of this study is to present the policy direction of efficient cultivation of the Korean ship ballast water treatment equipment industry. Reflecting the policy recommendations presented based on the results of this analysis, it is expected that more efficient development policies will be established.
