Description
Summary:This study aims to establish an enhanced ship inspection system to support the commercialization of eco-friendly and digital technologies in advanced ships. The research focuses on analyzing the normative effects and institutional applications of Article 73 of the current Ship Safety Act, comparing it with related laws and systems in major countries. The objective is to identify inefficiencies in the current inspection system and propose improvements for greater efficiency. Additionally, this study seeks to optimize the use of classification rules while minimizing overlap with government inspections. Through this research, we aim to ensure the safety of advanced ships and enhance the competitiveness of the maritime industry. The proposed improvements are designed to align with international maritime safety standards and regulations. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of a more effective ship inspection system, facilitating the seamless introduction of advanced technologies in the maritime sector.
