The international sale contract is the central contracts in export-import transactions. A good sale contract or set of general conditions of sale will cover all the principal elements of the transaction, so that uncertainties are avoided. The parties' respective duties as concern the payment mechanism, transport contract and insurance responsibilities, inter alia, will all be clearly detailed in the contract. The following key clauses should be included in international contracts of sale and general conditions of sale: ${\bullet}$ preamble ${\bullet}$ identification of parties ${\bullet}$ description of goods ${\bullet}$ price and payment conditions ${\bullet}$ delivery periods and conditions ${\bullet}$ inspection of the goods - obligations and limitations ${\bullet}$ quantity or quality variations in the products delivered ${\bullet}$ reservation of title and passing of property rights ${\bullet}$ transfer of risk - how accomplished ${\bullet}$ seller's warranties and buyer's complaints ${\bullet}$ assignment of rights ${\bullet}$ force majeure clause and hardship clause ${\bullet}$ requirement that amendments and modifications be in writing ${\bullet}$ choice of law ${\bullet}$ choice of dispute resolution mechanism Under most systems of law, a party can be excused from a failure to perform a contract obligation which is caused by the intervention of a totally unforeseeable event, such as the outbreak of war, or an act of God such as an earthquake or hurricane. Under the American commercial code (UCC) the standard for this relief is one of commercial impracticability. In contrast, many civil law jurisdictions apply the term force majeure to this problem. Under CISG, the standard is based on the concept of impediments to performance. Because of the differences between these standards, parties might be well advised to draft their own force majeure, hardship, or excusable delays clause. The ICC publication, "Force Majeure and Hardship" provides a sample force majeure clause which can be incorporated by reference, as well as a hardship clause which must be expressly integrated in the contract. In addition, the ICC Model provides a similar, somewhat more concise formulation of a force majeure clause. When the seller wishes to devise his own excusable delays clause, he will seek to anticipate in its provision such potential difficulties as those related to obtaining government authorisations, changes in customs duties or regulations, drastic fluctuations in labour, materials, energy, or transportation prices, etc.

This study considered as precautions in light of practical affairs related to a claim for damages focusing on CISG (1980) and PICC (2004). Given summarizing contents of this study, those are as follows. First, when exercising a claim for damages, proving the damages may be difficult and hard. Thus, there is necessity for stating the liquidated damages clause in contract given conclusion of contract. Second, as for the application of interest rate given a claim for interest, CISG is not covered interest rate. PICC is covered interest rate. However, there is possibility that PICC will not be applied as general principles. Thus, to remove this insecurity and uncertainty, there is necessity for stating this in contract by deciding on the detailed standard stipulation after fully discussing about interest payment with the counterpart given sale contract. Third, when a seller delivered non-conformity of the goods for contract, a buyer is desirable to exercise by discreetly judging the exercise method or limitation element on a problem of selecting and exercising remedy favorable to oneself out of a claim for damages and a right to reduce the price. Finally, There was suggestion that the contract parties are desirable to utilize by modifying and supplementing properly this in line with own business-based necessity and situation based on the ICC Model International Sale Contract, and to state CISG and PICC the governing law clause, in preparing contract. This study is expected to possibly become guideline in which the damaged party exercises a claim for damages or aims to cope with the counterpart's exercising a claim for damages.

Making a international contract of sale is not a simple work. International Trade parties(seller and buyer) may choose trade terms such as FOB or CIF to simplify their contracts and avoid misunderstanding of international commercial practice. Incoterms is the international rules for the interpretation of the trade terms, and firstly regulated by the ICC in 1936. The latest version is Incoterms 2010. Incoterms 2010 governs certain responsibilities between the seller and the buyer under the international contract of sale. Moreover, Incoterms 2010 provides the standard of division of costs relating to contract of carriage. But we should note that Incoterms 2010 is not the part of contract of carriage. The writer points out that there is no consistence principle in distributing the special costs under the contract of carriage like unloading cost from the transport vehicle. To avoid the dispute between the parties, it is more safe for international traders to fully and completely understand on the customs and practice of carriage of goods. Incoterms 2010 provides more detailed method of delivery of goods than CISG and RAFTD. Concerning the method of delivery of goods, CISG and RAFTD simply provide that the seller shall place the goods at the discharge of buyers. The writer suggests the basic principles to allocate the special costs of delivery of goods according to the trade terms under Incoterms 2010.

Purpose - This research empirically proves that global shipbuilding industry leadership has moved to China from Korea. Design/Methodology - Competitiveness is measured by AHP for the weights of comprehensive competitiveness, which is the output mixture of three attributive factors: shipbuilding technology, shipbuilding contract price, and export credit. Findings - China is far ahead of Korea for standard vessels such as bulkers and containerships with competitiveness weights of 0.762 and 0.612, respectively, against 0.238 and 0.388 of Korea. Korea is maintaining its competitiveness only in LNG carriers (174k CBM) with a competitiveness weight 0.621. China and Korea have similar competitiveness for chemical carriers, complex vessels with a small hull size. The sources of Chinese competitiveness are shipbuilding contract price and export credit. With the majority share of standard vessel types in the world fleet, China will hold a bigger market share than Korea in the global shipbuilding industry in the forthcoming years. Implications - The swing factors of market power are shipbuilding technology and contract price. If China fails to further develop shipbuilding technology for shipowners worried about the reliability of the Chinese-built vessels, shipowners may swing back to Korea. The rising Chinese labor cost will expedite this swing in the forthcoming competition. Originality/value - To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first paper that quantitatively examines the competitiveness of shipbuilding between China and Korea by comparing attributive factors for competitiveness.

In consideration of current circumstances which management activities for safety performance on construction sites are mostly controlled by safety personnel, it is necessary to maintain qualified safety personnel those who are experienced and have adequate ability. This is a major factor in order to prevent any of work related incident in the construction site. However, the existing standard which enforces certain number of safety personnel in the construction site aligning with respective contract amount could lead to difficulties for proactive safety management. So, it is required to get improvement on the existing standard. In nominating the proper number of safety personnel, it would be more efficient to consider the level of risk for characteristic of work itself and the total number of manpower mobilized in respective construction work, rather than to follow the existing standard of manpower ratio as per the contract amount. Hence, this study aims to propose several plans which enable to improve the existing standard for assignment of safety personnel on construction sites.

해외건설공사와 관련된 리스크에 대해서는 많은 연구들이 있었으나, 계약조건의 내용을 토대로 한 리스크 인자도출이나 분석은 없었다. 건설공사에서의 권리와 의무가 계약내용에 따라 발생한다는 가장 기본적인 사실을 고려할 때 계약적 권리와 의무를 규정하고 있는 계약조건의 내용에 따른 리스크의 인식과 대응은 해외건설공사의 성공적인 수행에 필수적인 요소이며 따라서 계약조건을 기반으로 한 리스크 인자도출은 중요하고도 핵심적인 가치를 가질 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구를 통해 계약시 유념하여야 할 핵심 계약적 리스크 인자들을 발굴함으로써 해외건설공사 입찰이나 계약시 많은 실무적인 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 EPC/턴키 프로젝트에서 발생 가능한 클레임의 주요 원인들을 발주자와 건설사의 관점에서 분석하였다. 그 원인들은 EPC/턴키 프로젝트의 표준 계약서인 FIDIC 실버 북을 기반으로 도출하였다. 발생 빈도가 가장 높은 클레임의 유형은 공기지연으로 분석되었다. 그 후, 가장 발생 빈도가 높은 클레임에 대한 책임이 계약 당사자간에 누구에게 있는지를 분석하는 프로세스를 제안하였다. 제안된 프로세스는 2010년에 수행한 2건의 대규모 EPC/턴키 프로젝트들과 FIDIC 실버 북의 공기지연 클레임에 관련된 계약 조항들을 기반으로 제안되었다. 제안된 프로세스는 발주자가 공사기간 지연에 대해 배상금을 설정하는지에 대한 의도에 따라 분류된다. 본 연구의 주요 기여도는 사례 프로젝트의 계약 조건을 기반으로 다양한 계약 유형에 적용할 수 있는 프로세스를 제안한 것이다. 뿐만 아니라, 계약서 작성 전에 발생 가능한 클레임의 유형을 확인할 수 있고, 공사기간 지연 클레임이 발생할 경우에 책임 당사자를 예측할 수 있으므로, 명확한 계약서 작성에도 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

공공건설사업을 수행하기 위해서는 건설 하도급은 필수적인 사항이다. 건설공사의 하수급인은 발주자와 직접 계약을 체결하지 않고 원수급인과 계약을 체결하기 때문에 발주자와 원수급인의 계약에 큰 영향을 받고 있다. 하수급인을 보호하기 위해 공정거래법이 제정되고 건설공사의 표준하도급계약서가 운용되고 있지만 발주자와 원수급인과의 관계를 다루는 국가계약법령체계에서는 하도급계약이 제대로 반영되어 있지 못하다. 특히 하도급계약에서 설계변경이 발생할 경우 금액에 따라 다양한 절차를 거쳐야 하지만 이러한 절차 등이 건설공사 표준하도급계약서에 제대로 반영되지 않고 있으므로 공공건설현장에서는 어려움을 호소하는 경우가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공공건설사업현장에서 설계변경이 이루어질 경우 하도급계약의 제도개선 방향을 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 첫째, 국가계약에서 하수급인의 원수급인에 대한 권리를 강화해야 한다. 둘째, 정보비대칭성을 해소하기 위해 하수급인이 하도급계약과 관련한 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 셋째, 공공공사의 원도급계약체결시에는 하도급계약의 특성을 반영하여 하수급인의 지위를 보장해야 한다. 넷째, 하도급거래 공정화를 위해 분쟁처리방법을 소송보다 조정이나 중재를 우선하도록 해야 한다.
