Abstract

해양사고 조사의 결과는 원인규명은 물론 가해자 및 피해자의 과실여부와 과실정도를 판단하는 중요한 결정기준이 되고 있다. 그러나 해양사고는 해양이라는 특수한 환경에서 발생하기 때문에 사고현장의 보존, 사고 재연 및 목격자 확보 곤란 등 원인규명의 어려움이 있다. 이러한 해양사고의 특징으로 국제해사기구에서는 최근 발달된 전파통신 및 항해기술을 해상인명안전 협약에 도입하여 일정 규모 이상의 선박에 항해자료기록장치와 선박자동식별장치의 설치를 의무화하였고, 국제적으로 통일된 사고조사와 공조를 위해 발효한 새로운 해양사고 조사코드에서는 각 체약국에게 항해자료기록장치의 분석역량을 갖추도록 권고하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 선박용 블랙박스인 항해자료기록장치의 데이터 유형을 분석하고 디지털 포렌식 절차와 기법을 활용하여 사고원인을 효율적으로 조사할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. The results of investigations into marine incidents have become an important basis in determining not only possible causes, but also the extent of negligence between the perpetrator and victim. However, marine incidents occur under special circumstances i.e. the marine environment, and this leads to difficulties in identifying causes due to problems in scene preservation, reenactment and acquisition of witnesses. Given the aforementioned characteristic of marine incidents, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) has adopted mandatory regulations on the carriage of Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs) and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) for ships of a certain gross tonnage and upwards, so as to reflect recent developments in radio communication and marine technology. Adopted to provide an international standard for investigations and to promote cooperation, the Code of the International Standards and Recommended Practices for a Safety Investigation into a Marine Casualty or Marine Incident (Casualty Investigation Code) recommends member states to build capacity for analysis of VDR data. Against this backdrop, this paper presents methods for efficient investigations into the causes behind marine incidents based on data analysis of VDR, which serves as the black box of ships, as well as digital forensic techniques.
