Abstract

In recent years, the hub and spoke strategy has been strengthened in accordance with the enlargement of ships. As the needs of the port users change, the ports are also becoming larger and modernized. Under these circumstances, changes in existing port operations are expected. One example is the movement to promote economic and operational effectiveness through the joint operation of small and medium-sized operators. This study analyzed the effect of the association of small and medium-sized operators on Busan New Port in terms of economy. Additionally, the issue of cost allocation within the association of operators was presented through the game theory. As a result, in the case of operating jointly rather than divided into five operating companies as of the present, it has been shown to have a cost reduction effect in terms of operating companies. Considering the use of the Proportional method, the Shapley Value, and the Nucleus method in allocating the costs among the operators participating in the coalition, the Shapley Value method was the most suitable method in this study.

현대의 항만은 선박 대형화가 진행됨에 따라 허브 & 스포크 방식의 전략이 강화 되었다. 이러한 항만 이용자의 니즈 변화에 따라 항만 역시 대형화 및 현대화 되는 추세이다. 이 같은 상황 하에서 기존 항만 운영의 변화가 예상된다. 중, 소규모의 운영사 연합 운영을 통해 경제적, 운영적 효과를 도모하는 움직임은 하나의 예로 들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 부산항 신항을 대상으로 중, 소규모의 운영사 연합이 경제적 측면에서 어떠한 효과를 내는지에 대해 분석하였다. 더불어 운영사 연합 내에서 비용배분의 문제를 게임이론을 통해 제시하였다. 결과적으로 현재와 같이 5개의 운영사로 나뉘어 운영되는 것보다 연합하여 운영할 경우 운영사 측면에서 비용 감소의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연합에 참여한 운영사 간에 비용을 배분하는데 있어 비례배분법, 샤플리밸류, 중핵 방법을 사용하는 것을 고려하였으며, 본 연구에서는 샤플리밸류 방법이 가장 적합한 방법으로 나타났다.
