Abstract
In Korea there are Passenger ships on 106 routes running out of 10 port cities. These cities, such as Mokpo, Masan, Incheon, are the main transportation hubs the island residents today. But most passenger ship companies in Korea are limited in income and mostly small in size. These small companies have many challenges to overcome and are slow to improve services. Frequent service cancellations, aging sailors and a decline in service are contributing factors.
