Due to the constant changes of companies' global networks, the expansion of global e-commerce as well as the market-oriented global supply chain management, global enterprises are strategically selecting and entering into viable countries able to become global footholds. Therefore, this study aims to scrutinize the trend of changes in the global networks of Korean companies by analyzing the current overseas countries over the past decade. From the analysis, it has been found that there is a significant difference in the priorities of targeting countries among shipping, manufacturing and logistics companies. Logistics companies preferred to enter Germany first while they attached to a lower priority to Singapore. Manufacturing companies had a lower priority to advance to India, while they preferred to advance to Mexico; however, shipping companies were analyzed to prefer to enter the US. In addition, all of these companies identified the importance of securing volume and network by entering overseas markets to achieve economies of scale and scope and to maintain global competitiveness. Joint overseas expansion of manufacturers with shipping and logistics companies can be recommended to facilitate the entry and thus, enhance global competitiveness and service capabilities and also secure new growth engines.

In order to obtain and maintain competitive advantage, under rapidly changing maritime environment, liners should make efforts to reinforce their logistics service capabilities. Most of all, for this, shipping lines should accurately recognize and evaluate their logistics service attributes. In the present research, various logistics service attributes for ocean carriers were selected from previous studies and the observed data for 6 main service attributes were collected through a questionnaire survey to 31 maritime experts. Moreover, shipping lines' relative logistics service capabilities were measured by an additional survey process. The comparative gravity between core evaluation factors were measured by AHP technique and the relative capability levels of 2 Korean liners and 5 foreign shipping companies were assessed by utilizing a fuzzy model. The empirical result presents that Korean liners are superior at customer service capability but inferior at freight rate competitiveness. This research shows that Korean liners are ranked at high position for overall logistics service capabilities and focusing on the differentiation strategy but not on the cost related strategy.

This study is aming at analysing the current trend of container shipping industry before and after COVID-19 Pandemic circumstances. Also, this study offers the political implications for 'the Korean Shipping Nation Rebuilding'. As a result of this study, the several global shipping lines have decreased their ship capacity in response to International Maritime Organization(IMO)'s environmental regulation. This finding is differ from the media reports, that is many shipping companies increased idling vessel to match the lower demand induced COVID-19 pandemic. This study also provides the two implications of the direction about Korean shipping policy. The first one is that the casual relationship of over-vessels' supply and Korea shipping policy is needed to be thoroughly analyzed. The importance of Koreans shipping industry is generally devaluated by most citizens so as to the Korean government should develop the mass media contents to enlighten the less wellknown people regarding shipping industry.

지난 5월 1일부로 동유럽 10개국이 유럽연합(EU)에 가입했다. 동유럽 10개국이 EU에 가입했다는 것은 두 가지 측면에서 역사적 장애물을 제거하는 계기가 될 것이다. 하나는 사회주의체제를 벗어나 자본주의 체제로 편입되는 체제전환을 추구해왔으니 구소련이 주도하던 바르샤바동맹국으로서 몸에 베었던 의식과 체제의 잔재를 씻어내기 어려웠으며 이러한 잔재들은 동유럽 국가들의 경제$\cdot$사회 발전을 가로막는 역사적 장애요인으로 작용해 왔다. 따라서 EU가입은 이러한 역사적 장애요인을 극복하는 중요한 계기가 될 것으로 예상된다. 동유럽 10개국은 모든 사회$\cdot$경제 거래를 EU기준에 맞춰야 하며, 도로$\cdot$철도$\cdot$해운$\cdot$항공 등 물류부문에서도 EU의 기준을 충족시켜야 하는 ‘EU 공동체 확적영역’을 수용해야 한다. 따라서 동유럽 물류시장은 EU가입 이후 경제 및 교역발전에 따른 양적 팽창이외에 물류관련 기준과 거래관행이 개선되는 질적 발전도 가능하게 될 것이다. 우선 역내 통관절차가 단순해지는 등 사람, 자본, 화물의 이동이 자유화됨으로써 물동량이 크게 늘어날 것으로 예상되고 또한 동유럽 국가들은 EU로부터 운송 인프라 개발 및 현대화에 필요한 경제적 지원도 받게 된다. 한국해양수산개발원(KMI)은 ‘EU 가입 동유럽 물류시장의 특징과 시사점’이라는 현안분석을 통해 이같이 밝히고 우리나라 물류기업이 동유럽 시장에 진출하는 경우 제조업과 동반진출하고 현지업체와의 제휴관계를 모색하는 것이 바람직하다는 대응방향을 제시했다. 동 현안분석 내용을 요약$\cdot$정리한다.

This study analyzes the major factors affecting the freight rates of Very Large Crude-Oil Carriers (VLCC) using co-integration and vector error correction models (VECM). Particularly, we estimate the long-term equilibrium function that determines the VLCC freight rate by conducting difference conversion. In the VECM regression analysis, the error term converges toward long-term balance irrespective of whether the previous period's freight rate is bigger or smaller than the long-term equilibrium rate. Thus, even if the current rate is different from the long-term rate, it eventually converges to the long-term balance irrespective of a boom or recession. This study follows Ko and Ahn (2018), which analyzed the factors affecting the chemical carrier freight rate and was published in the Journal of Shipping and Logistics (Vol. 34, No. 2). It is expected that an academic comparison of the results of each study will be possible if further research is conducted on other vessel types, such as container ships and dry cargo vessels.

Maritime transportation is one of the oldest means of transportation utilized by mankind, and it has significantly contributed to the advancement of civilization by efficiently transporting bulk cargo at a low cost. The study aim to identify the factors influencing the selection of shipping companies in the bulk shipping market and provide insights for improving the competitiveness of shipping-related companies. To achieve this goal, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed. For the empirical analysis, previous research, interviews, and a pilot test were conducted to identify five top-level factors such as companies, vessels, operations, services, and transaction factors. Each top-level factor has four sub-factors. The results of the analysis, based on 80 valid questionnaires, are as follows: Firstly, in the selection of shipping companies, the priority of factors influencing the choice of shipping companies was as follows: vessel factors were the most important, followed by company, operations, relationship, and service factors. Secondly, when investigating the priority of sub-factors, the availability/appropriateness of vessels was the most crucial factor, followed by company characteristics, financial soundness, and the company's reputation in order. The implications of these findings suggest that shipowners should focus on securing more suitable vessels and enhancing their reputation in response to shippers' demand. Shippers, on the other hand, should consider maintaining a healthy financial structure as a crucial task in securing competitive shipping service providers.

The results of this paper show that strategic and technical factors in the integration of logistics between shipping and logistics companies act as a synchronizing factor for internal and external logistics integration. In addition, internal integration of logistics is expanded to external integration, and internal and external logistics integration is shown to enhance the logistics performance of companies. In other words, the greater the strategic need for logistics integration and the higher the utilization of logistics technology, the stronger the motivation for logistics integration. Furthermore, both internal and external integration of logistics have a positive impact on companies' logistics costs and improvement of logistics services.
