Abstract

The competition between port authorities (PAs) and terminal operating companies (TOCs) in providing port logistics services has gained importance. The PAs enter into leasing contracts with TOCs in various ways. This study aims to model a contract method that maximizes the joint profit between a PA and a TOC. Particularly, this study aims to model the equilibrium by comparing four types of contract schemes in the non-coordination, cooperation, Cournot, and collusion models. The results of the analysis show that the two-part tariff scheme generates a higher joint profit than the fixed and fee contracts. It is understood that risk- and profit-sharing between the PAs and TOCs helps the latter to maximize the throughput and the joint profit. These results are expected to provide an important theoretical basis for decision-making about port rent and freight between the PAs and TOCs.

오늘날 선사 간 제휴 및 기술진보 등 세계 해운환경의 급격한 변화로 항만 간 경쟁이 더욱 치열해지고 있으며, 이에 따라 항만물류서비스를 제공하는 항만공사와 터미널 운영사 간의 협력이 매우 중요하다 하겠다. 항만들은 터미널운영사와 다양한 방식으로 임대 계약을 체결하고 있으며, 터미널 운영사는 산정된 임대료 하에서 최적 운임을 결정하여 수익을 창출하고 있다. 이와 같은 상황에서 본 연구는 항만공사와 터미널운영사의 상호 이익을 극대화하는 계약 방식 도출을 목적으로 하고 있다. 즉, 본 연구는 항만공사의 이익 극대화에 초점을 맞춘 기존 연구들과 달리, 항만공사와 터미널 운영사 간의 공유이익 극대화 측면에서 최적화 계약방식을 도출하고자 한다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 항만공사와 터미널 운영사 간의 네 가지 유형의 계약방식들을 과점시장 모형인 Non-cooperation, Cooperation, Cournot 및 Collusion 모델을 상호 비교하여 각 모형의 균형을 도출하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과 two-part tariff 계약방식이 fixed contract 및 unit contract 계약방식에 비해 항만공사와 터미널운영사간의 공유이익이 많이 창출되는 것으로 분석되고 있다. 이는 two-part tariff 계약방식의 경우 항만공사와 터미널운영사가 수익과 위험을 상호 공유하므로 터미널 운영사는 보다 많은 물동량 확보를 위해 노력을 하게 됨에 따라 공유 이익이 극대화되는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 향후 항만공사와 터미널운영자 간의 항만임대료 및 운임 결정을 위한 의사결정과정에서 중요한 이론적 토대를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
