Abstract

The purpose of this study is to give a guiding implications to strengthen the competitiveness of port policy in Philippines, considering the inefficiencies in the port infrastructures and management systems in the country, despite its average economic growth of 5-6% and subsequent increment in passenger and trading volumes. These growth figures imply a compelling need for a systemic development plan and impellent actions. This study used the analytic hierarchy process for conducting a port competitiveness analysis and the data on deterrent factors were collected through literature and internal government documents including on-site interviews of the parties involved. The implications of the analysis led the study to conclude the need for adopting an enhanced centralized management, a separate investment and management for ports, a grade classification of nationwide small-, medium, and large-sized ports, efficient incoming systems for port dues, and an advanced mode of financing and investment inducement, among others.

본 연구의 목적은 필리핀의 항만정책 수립의 경쟁력 제고를 위한 정책적 시사점을 도출하기 위한 것이다. 필리핀은 개발도상국으로서 연 평균 5-6%의 꾸준한 경제성장을 유지하고 있으며, 이에 따라 대외무역거래량과 국내 인적 물적 유통량도 급격하게 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 그러나 이러한 물동량의 증가에도 불구하고 항만 등 인프라 시설은 매우 열악한 실정에 있으므로 이에 대한 보다 체계적인 개발계획과 추진실행이 시급한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 AHP 기법을 적용하여 설문을 통한 항만경쟁력을 분석하고, 선행 문헌연구와 현지 각 관련 기관들로부터 획득된 내부자료 및 관계자들의 인터뷰를 통해 수집된 자료를 분석하여 항만발전 저해요인을 도출하였다. 그 결과 항만발전에 필요한 정책적 시사점으로서 보다 강화된 중앙 집중적 관리방식 도입, 항만의 투자와 운영에 관한 분리방안채택, 전국적으로 산재한 대소항만들의 목적에 따른 등급화, 효율적인 항비부과에 따른 수입원 확보 및 시설확충을 위한 선진 금융기법 및 투자유치 등의 정책이 필요하다는 결론과 시사점을 제시할 수 있었다.
