Off-line ship chartering is done nearly through(by) the brokers. Because of the international scale of chartering marker, brokers spend too much times and costs on searching the most appropriate product which the consumers want. In this research, we propose the on-line Charter Product Categorization Model to search the products efficiently in the Cyber Chartering System. This Model will make concerned parties of the ship chartering to get efficient and unific product information. and to select the most appropriate product. In this research, we classified the ship chartering products into categories of cargo, ship type, and sea routes, and formed the definition of mutual relation of each products. Moreover we verified that this classification is necessary to search the products by the product searching experiment.
