According to one aspect of the present invention, provided is a marine waste collection system for collecting marine wastes from an inaccessible shore. The marine waste collection system includes: a collection vessel floated on the sea to be adjacent to an inaccessible shore and including a marine waste storage part; a multi-joint conveyor having flexibility due to a plurality of unit conveyors sequentially connected through a plurality of joint connectors, and having a base end connected to the collection vessel and having a front end located in the inaccessible shore; a plurality of floaters having buoyancy to be floated on the sea, and placed to support the multi-joint conveyor between the collection vessel and the inaccessible shore; and collection equipment placed in the inaccessible shore, and lifting marine wastes in the inaccessible shore to load the same into the multi-joint conveyor. The marine wastes loaded in the multi-joint conveyor are sequentially transferred along the unit conveyors, and then, loaded into the collection vessel. 본 발명의 일측면에 따라, 난접해안으로부터 해양쓰레기를 수거하기 위한 해양쓰레기 수거시스템이 제공되며, 상기 해양쓰레기 수거 시스템은, 난접해안과 인접하도록 바다에 떠 있고 해양쓰레기 저장부가 구비된 수거선; 복수개의 단위 컨베이어들이 복수개의 관절 연결부들에 의해 차례대로 연결되어 유연성을 가지며, 기단은 상기 수거선에 연결되고 선단은 상기 난접해안에 위치하는, 다관절 컨베이어; 및 바다에 떠 있을 수 있도록 부력을 가지며, 상기 수거선과 상기 난접해안 사이에서 상기 다관절 컨베이어를 받쳐주도록 배치되는 복수개의 부유장치; 및 상기 난접해안에 배치되며, 상기 난접해안의 해양쓰레기를 들어올려 상기 다관절 컨베이어에 싣는 수거장비를 포함하며, 상기 다관절 컨베이어에 실린 해양쓰레기는 상기 단위 컨베이어들을 따라 차례로 이송된 후 상기 수거선 내로 수거된다.
