This is a study for international competitiveness analysis if korea ship management service using the collected data from the fields in industry. making a comparison if ship management company between domestic ones in Korea and mutinational ones in international market is more suitable for it's purpose. but competitiveness level of korean ship management companies are too low to compare. Therefore in this study, ship management devision in Korea overseas shipping companies are selected as a target of camparision and the representative of Korea ship management industry. The analysis of competitiveness is divided by price competition and non-price competition. The former is consist of element likes as crew management cost, dry-docking cost, repair cos, stores & spares cost, lubricants cost and management free cost, The later os consist of element like as quality of sea & shore personnel, efficiency of company's organization, ability of management system. qualifications & certifications, know -hoe for the ship management, structure of control & support ship and office automation & IT system. According to this analysis the ship management division in korean shipping companied are superior to the foreign specialized ship management companies generally. So, it is necessary that korea ship management industry attempt level-up continously and expand into international ship management market positively.

The objective of this study is to describe and determine how and to what extent size of firm, operating vessels and interest cost, leverage, debit maturity, growth opportunity and cash flow affect the cash holdings of Korean shipping companies. A sample of 38 Korean shipping firms for a period of 9 years(from 2005 to 2013) was selected. In panel data regression, this study finds that cash holdings are negatively affected by firm size, operating vessel size and debit maturity, and positively affected by volume of interest costs. In firm's group of relatively large volume of operating vessel, it's cash holdings are affected by debit maturity, cash flows and growth opportunity but in firm's group of small volume of it, interest cost, debit maturity and operating vessel's size are related with cash holdings. It proved that determinants of cash holdings in a high interest costing group are size of operating vessel, interest cost and debt maturity. On the other hand, debit maturity, growth opportunity, firm size and extent volume of vessels are associated with cash holdings in relatively row interest costing group.

The time cost of ship end cargoes is one of the most important data for decision-making of port investment and operational efficiency. Studies in this area were initiated internationally by Goss and Mann in late 70's and also done in Korea 10 years ago using the same methodology as Goss. The main purpose of this paper is to revisit to estimate the time cost using updated data. The estimation was undertaken sampling data on various investment and operating costs by vessel from 205 vessels, comprising 47.5％ of the notional fleet in Korea as well as on cargoes from international trade statistics. Compared with the study of 10 years ago, major finding of this research is that time costs of liquid and dry bulk carriers have increased, in case of the former type, showing almost doubled cost increase. The increase is deemed to be caused by very expensive LNG carriers. Lowered social discount rate in this study compared with 10 years ago, in general, has mused the costs to stay at similar level to the previous study. Sensitivity tests were conducted using various social discount rates.

In line with the transformation of the shipping industry, the number of mixed-manning ships is on the rise - bringing foreign sailors aboard with their local sailors. During on-board work, a culture is formed according to mixed-manning, which leads to changes in on-board living environment. This causes various problems such as communication problems, and lack of education and training. In order to identify and solve problems caused by mixed-manning, this study presented a plan for systematic education of foreign seafarers. The officials in charge of the affairs of foreign sailors conducted questionnaire surveys at various shipping lines. The questionnaire survey results were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistic 26 program. Three improvement measures were proposed to solve the problems after identification of the types of education, education methods, and problems of foreign employees. This study revealed that it is imperative to systematize related education of foreign seafarers based on the results of the survey.

In this study, the rate of return on investment used as a proxy variable for the entity's value and financial structure (liability ratio) is related to positive balance. This is consistent with the Static Tradeoff Theory (STT) that the entity's value and financial structure are related to a positive balance because the capital expense of a debt (tax-saving effects) that is less than its equity cost before it is in financial difficulty. Also, operating profitability (EBITDA/Sales), investment safety, total asset growth, net working capital and depreciation expenses are related to negative (-) with financial structure (liability ratio). This is the result of an analysis consistent with the Pecking Order Theory (POT). Fuel costs, borrowing, total asset turnover, financial costs, and tangible asset ratios have a significant positive relationship with the debt ratio. This is consistent with the agency theory and confirms that excessive chartering expenses, such as the bankrupt H company, are the main factors that pressure the financial structure of Korean ocean carriers.

1992년 전반기에 우리나라에 근해해운기업 3개사가 도산하였으며, 많은 그해해운기업이 심한 경영상의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 그러한 도산이유를 대별하면 기업 내적요인과 기업 외적요인으로 나눌 수 있을 것이다. 이 논문에서는 기업외적 요인의 하나로서 근해지역에 있어서의 선박의 과잉공급과 운임의 덤핑을 상정하고서 최근 소련의 연방해체 이후 극동지역에서 생성되기 시작한 러시아의 해운사기업의 생성배경 및 경영형태를 분석하고, 그러한 러시아의 해운사기업이 보유하고 있는 선박이 우리나라의 근해해운시장에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 뒤 이에 대처하기 위한 우리나라 해운정책의 기본방향을 제시한다. 이 논문의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 사용된 연구방법은 문헌조사, 현장조사, 그리고 면접법이다. 본 연구는 러시아 해운사기업의 생성근원이 되는 국영해운기업, 실제로 극동지역에서 경영되고 있는 러시아의 해운 기업 및 러시아 연방정부의 교통부산하 해운국을 방문하여 각 조직의 최고 책임자 및 주요 인사를 대상으로 면접과 현장조사를 실시하였으며, 일본 및 러시아의 해운연구기관의 주요인사와 우리 나라의 해운기업의 최고경영자들도 본 연구의 면접대상에 포함되었다. 이 연구에서 도출된 주요 결과로서는 첫째, 러시아의 해운사기업은 소련연방산하에 이었던 국영해운기업에서 제공된 매운 낮은 용선료의 선박과 우리나라의 근해선사 또는 대리점과의 노우 하우(know-how) 의 결합에 의해 생성되었으며 둘째, 그러한 매커니즘에 의해서 우리나라 근해지역에 영업활동중인 러시아 선박은 재화중량톤수 약 4천 내지 5천톤에 해당하는 하천.해상형태(river sea type)의 살물선으로서 총 40여척에 달하고 있으며, 셋째, 그러한선박의 용선료는 1992년 3월에 현재 우리나라 근해해운시장에서 형성된 용선료 수준의 50% - 60%에 해당하며, 넷째, 우리나라의 근해화물을 원활하게 확보.수송하기 위하여 일부의 선박은 편의치적국의 선적을 이용하여 운항되기도 한다. 이 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 한 정책적 제언은 경영기술, 자본력, 선박의 질적수준 및 경쟁의 측면에서 일본보다도 취약한 상태에 있는 우리나라의 근해해운을 성장.발전시키기 위해서는 정부는 먼저 연안해운에 적용시키고 잇는 면허제도를 점진적으로 개방화시켜 우리나라의 연안해운의 자본력을 증강시키고 경쟁원리에 의한 경쟁력을 제고시켜야 하며, 제 2선적제도의 발달과 해운경영의 국제성에 맞추어 근해해역에서 활동하는 우리나라의 선박에대해서 부분적으로 선박의 국적을 점차 개방시켜 나가는 정책을 검토해야 할 단계라는 것이다. 이러한 점에 있어서 지난 30여년간 외항해운부문에 중점을 두어온 우리나라의 해운정책은 이제 근해해운정책의 개발에도 관심을 기울여야 하는 전환점에 있다고 할 수있다.
