Terminal operators have provided special services such as loading, discharging, stowage of cargo to the owner, and carriers of the sea, which contribute the domestic and international logistics. For smooth flow of logistics, container terminal should reserve spaces for inbound and outbound logistics. However, if it is unable to provide the spaces, which can be caused by labour strikes or terminal lockouts and so on, national logistic system and financial management of terminal operators can be seriously affected. In order to minimize these kinds of problems, terminal operators impose high rate of charges ("overstorage charge") to the accumulated cargoes and/or containers, which are stipulated in terminal service agreement. Nevertheless, if there is no terminal service agreement with an owner of cargo and/or container, any kind of charge can cause legal problems (conflict ??) between the cargo and terminal operator. In this regard, I would like to study on the definition of overstorage charge and the legal issue of it based on the Busan district court's judgment. In particular, I will propose a special right of commercial lien and public auction for terminal operators to settle accumulated cargoes in container terminal.

인천항은 동북아 경제권의 중심항만으로 경인공업지대 및 수도권지역에 각종 원자재를 공급하며 수도권 일대에서 필요로 하는 소비물자의 적기공급등 국가경제발전에 중추적 역할을 담당하고 있다. 또한 인천항은 대 중국화물, 장래 남북화물을 유치하는데 아주 유리한 여건에 있어 인천지역의 물동량은 해마다 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 하지만 인천항의 처리능력의 한계를 이미 넘어섰고 이로 인해 만성적인 체선 · 체화현상이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 항만시설의 부족은 항만시설의 신규건설을 통한 항만공급 능력의 확대가 장기적으로 바람직하나 현실적으로는 항만시설의 기능재배치를 통한 운영효율화로 시설능력을 증대해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 시설소요 화물량과 하역능력을 비교하여 하역능력이 절대적으로 낮은 화물과 하역능력이 높은 화물을 부두별로 재배치함으로써 시설능력의 증대를 도모하고자 한다. 특히 인천항의 기능재배치의 시뮬레이션을 위한 본 시스템은 화물의 이동이나 화물량의 변화, 선석의 배정규칙을 변경하여 여러 가지의 시나리오를 설정할 수 있고, 이에 대한 결과를 하역사, 화물군, 부두별로 분석하여 영향을 검토함으로써 항만운영계획에 대한 의사결정을 지원할 수 있을 것이다.

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.
