This study aims to inform seafarers to prepare their retired life by researching the life style of ex-seafarers. These information will also help seafarers to increase job satisfaction and government to establish national policy. 217 retirees who have several educational background responded the research questionnaire. Research results are as follows; First, Korean seafarers' retired ages are faster than shore employee due to the isolation from their families and society. Second, life satisfaction of retired seafarers depends on the level of life expenses regardless the educational background or length of sea life. Third, the level of retired life expenses of shore based, higher education background or short sea-life seafarers is higher than the sea based, lower education background or long sea-life seafarers. Forth, life style of retired seafarers is staying at home regardless their expectation during career period. Finally special seafarers' social security is needed and education to the ex-seafarers will help re-enter for sea-life.

The shipping industry has experienced significantly fluctuated while decline in long-term and boom in short-term period due to the continuous recession of the shipping industry since the 2010s and during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to suggest implications for securing manpower and personnel policy by analyzing the effects of job environmental factors of a liner shipping company on job satisfaction and turnover intention and differences between land and marine workers. For the analysis, the job environmental factors of a liner shipping company were divided into work character, relational factors, personnel characters, and remuneration factors, and then structural equation model and t-test were conducted to test the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. As a result of the study, it was found that job environmental factors, such as work, relationship, personnel, and remuneration, had a positive (+) effect on job satisfaction, and job satisfaction had a negative (-) effect on turnover intention. In a comparative analysis between groups such as land and sea workers, it was found that the maritime workers group had higher job satisfaction and lower turnover intention than the land workers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the wages of workers in the logistics industry and to identify the current status of employment and wages in the logistics industry. Based on this, it sought to find analytical factors on the wages of workers in the logistics industry and explain their impact on the wage gap. The analysis data were interpreted as cross-sectional data from the National Statistical Office over the past decade and the analysis data were set to three types. The results of the analysis could be explained that three factors understood as wage discrimination factors that do not directly affect productivity generally have a significant impact on wage gap among workers in the logistics industry. Air and water transport industries received high salaries due to factors in the industry. The very low-paid sector for that was the land transport industry, and the courier industry as a detailed sector. Due to the nature of job factors, technicians and assistants received lower wages than other jobs. Due to the nature of the company's size factors, companies with 51 or more employees received higher wages than companies with 50 or less employees. In testing the effectiveness of multiple sources of ANOVA, the common 'industry × enterprise size' variable was explained to have a significant effect on gaps in wages for workers in the logistics industry. In addition, the comparison of the influence of the main effects of the three factors put into the analysis model shows that the industry has the most influence.

The quantitative increase in maritime transport for domestic and foreign trade is one of the main reasons for the increase in marine pollution accidents. Despite the implementation of relevant laws in each country to prevent and mitigate marine pollution accidents caused by ships, human negligence (carelessness, intention, etc.) by ship workers has been reported as the biggest cause of marine pollution accidents. One of the most effective ways to reduce marine pollution accidents caused by ships is to reduce human negligence through systematic education and training of ship workers. Therefore, this study aimed to review the appropriateness of the statutory education and training curriculum for ship marine pollution prevention managers in accordance with domestic laws and regulations such as the 「Marine Environment Management Act」 and suggest improvement measures. To this end, we compared and analyzed the legal training·general education courses related to the prevention of marine pollution and marine disasters in Japan, where the laws and systems are similar to Korea, and investigated the cases of legal training for experts in land pollution prevention in Korea.

Road transportation accounts for the largest share of cargo transport in Korea. Inland transportation is not only the beginning and completion point of container transportation, but it is also very complex and has many workers. The main job of container drivers, who play a key role in inland logistics, is to transport containers from ports and terminals to destinations. However, in addition to the main role, various container management obligations, such as cleaning containers and managing damaged containers during the transportation process, are implicitly transferred to container drivers. However, little research has been conducted on this issue. This study identified the working environment of container drivers and empirically analyzed the current status of container management responsibilities by drivers. Furthermore, it analyzed whether there was a difference in the degree of container management requirements by shipping company, terminal, and shipper. Differences in requirements for region(Busan, Kwangyang, Pohang) were analyzed, and improvement measures for the problem of transferring container management were also presented.

The port is a space where maritime transport and land transport intersect and is an essential industrial infrastructure for international trade. Therefore, it has a very important function in the national economy. Although the space and the physical facilities of a port are important, it is also very important to efficiently manage and operate these port infrastructures. The government introduced the Port Authority System to strengthen the efficiency and professionalism of port management operations. Since the port authority systemis based on port autonomy, the independence and autonomy of the port authority are very important in port management and operation. Nevertheless, the Port Authority is not functioning properly because the government interferes excessively with the operations of the Port Authority. Therefore, it is suggested that the legal system should be improved to strengthen the autonomy of the Port Authority (PA). This study examines the perception of the legal system that needs to be improved to strengthen the autonomy of the Port Authority, and suggests policy measures for Port Authority workers, civil servants, port companies, and civic groups.
