해상법상 어선의 법적 지위에 관한 연구

Fishing vessel personnel responsible for the navigation and operation of fishing vessels should possess sufficient knowledge of the rules and regulations or agreements affecting fishing in the fishing vessel's area of operation, particular attention should be paid to the 8(f) of International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 in 1987 revision. A vessel engaged in fishing, whether underway or at anchor, shall exhibit only the lights and shapes prescribed in 1972 COLREG. And the term ‘vessel engaged in fishing’ means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls or other fishing apparatus which restrict manoeuverability, but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which do not restrict manoeuverability. A vessel which, by any of these rules, is required not to impede the passage or safe passage of another vessel shall, when required by the circumstances of the case, take early action to allow sufficient sea room for the safe passage of the other. A vessel proceeding along the course of a narrow channel or traffic separation schemes shall keep as near to the outer limit or the channel or fairway of traffic separation schemes which lies on her starboard side as is safe and practicable.
