해양시설 용어 정의 및 분류 체계에 관한 일고찰

Abstract

Abstract In recent offshore industries, various ambiguous terms have been used without clear definition or classification, causing difficulties in legal, technical, and educational understanding and usage. For an example, the commonly used term ofOffshore Plantin Korea is not an universal word technically. There has been no clear technical or legal definition about theOffshore Plantand its classification is also very ambiguous; sometimes it is used to refer offshore oil and gas production platform or it is used to mean offshore renewable power generation plant in some cases. To build a conceptual framework, therefore, this paper suggests a classification of offshore units ① using internationally agreed terms, ② agreed with the technical classification used by the ship classification society and ③ being able to include not only the current but also future concepts of offshore units.
