Shipping is a global industry, with 80% of the world's international trade of goods transported by sea. Many countries with large international trade volumes place great importance in developing their shipping industry. Recently changes in the world economy, international trade, world oil prices and other uncertainties have led to increased competition in the world shipping market. This is specially true, along the Pacific coast, where five of the world's major maritime countries, Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore and the United States are located. This paper aims to compare the international competitiveness of Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore and the United States with Port's Diamond Model and AHP analysis. The results of this research give some suggestions for international competitiveness of Chinese shipping industry, is very competitive in quantitative terms but is relatively weak in qualitative terms.

This study aims to analyse the actual conditions of Korean fishing boat being seized in Japan's EEZ and to provide the countermeasures against that problem. According to the analysis of that actual conditions, Korean fishermen are trespassing Japan's EEZ in which fishery resources are abundant because of exhaustion of fishery resources and polluted water in Korean coastal sean. In the past, That behavior was not illegal. Now, however, it became illegal with the effectuation of the United National Conventions on the Law of the Sea(1994) and the Korean-Japanese Fisheries Agreement(1999). In order to resolve that problem on a long-term basis, it is necessary to turn over national fishery policy, to provide fishing people with other means of living, and to establish the Korean-Japanese cooperation system of fishery management. Most of all, it is urgent to mitigate and remit a penalty which was executed in Japan, to amplify personal and material resources need to guide and control fishery, and to construct a close cooperation system between the National Maritime Policy Agency and the Ministry of Maritime and Fisheries Affairs.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, reports and books that compiled the testimonies of the victims were published and the situation of the evacuation at that time became known. However, there is very little information on the evacuation situation of children among these data, and it is not fully known what actions the children took and how they evacuated due to an earthquake or tsunami. The purpose of this study is to analyze and examine children's evacuation behavior in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and to predict children's evacuation behavior for future disasters.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of integrated management strategy between Busan and Gwangyang ports through considering the integrated management strategy of ports in China and Japan. The reason we selected Busan and Gwangyang ports is that these two ports are a major port which is possible to be an Asia hub port by the policy of Korean government, but these two ports are concerned that they are able to lose their competitiveness by excessive competition. Therefore, we attempted to analyze the integrated management strategy of China and Japan and then we examined the effectiveness of integrated management between Busan and Gwangyang ports. For empirical study, we assumed that the co-management of these two ports will enhance the port performances. And a comparative study has been conducted with 25 Asian ports by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. We also tried to compare the efficiency between before integrated management and after integrated management of these two ports. The result of analysis indicates that the port performance of these two ports has been increased slightly in integrated management system, but the efficiency of these two ports is still lower than other competitors such as Chinese and Japanese ports. It means that there exists inefficiency in management of these two Korean ports because Korean ports are already reached into the economies of scale. Therefore, the strategies for improving of port performances are required to survive against competition.

To ensure safe port operations around the world, it is important to solve mooring problems. In particular, the many ports that face open seas have difficulties with long-period waves. As a countermeasure, the installation of a breakwater is proposed for mooring safety. However, this often cannot be put into practice because of financial issues. Instead, port terminals control berthing schedules with weather forecasting. However, mooring problems remain unsolved, because of inaccurate wave forecasting. To quantify the current situation, numerical simulations are presented with ship motions, fender deflections, and rope tensions. In addition, novel simulations for mooring ropes are proposed considering tension, friction, bending fatigue, and temperature. With this novel simulation, the optimal mooring method in terms of safety and economic efficiency was confirmed. In terms of safety, the optimal mooring method is verified to minimize dangerous mooring situations. Moreover, the optimal mooring method shows economic benefits and efficiency. It can help to reinforce the safety of port terminals and improve the efficiency of port operations.

The Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between the Joseon Dynasty and Japan began signing procedures from February 1876. Thus, Busan port became an open port to foreign vessels. This has resulted in Busan port becoming the greatest port in Korea. Because of this, the Superintendent Office (Gamriseo, 監理署) was established at 1883 but was later abolished in 1906. In this thesis, the author explored the opening procedure of Busan Port as an open port, the structure of the positions in the Superintendent Office, and the establishment and abolition, types, and contents of records of Gamriseo that were created or received. Records of the Superintendent Office were classified into diplomatic records, judge records, police records, customs records, administrative records, and the daily records of the institution. Most of the original documents of the Superintendent Office were preserved at the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies while some were published by the National Institute of Korean History and Asiatic Research Institute of Korea University.

Busan port has played a part as the main trade gateway in Korea for several decades. However, due to the rapid integration of China into the global economy and the grand changes in global trade structures, the trade gateway system in Korea and the status of Busan port have been transformed. Busan port's role as a trade gateway toward Japan and U.S. has increased during last two decades but, in cases of China, its importance has relatively decreased. Moreover, Busan port's competitiveness has been undermined in the most part of commodity trade. These phenomena reflect the high competition among trade ports which tend to increase the effectiveness of supply chains. Based on the geographical research tradition which has understood a port as a nexus between hinterland and foreland, this study focuses the changes in characteristics of trade freights and the status as a gateway of Busan port. This approach will contribute to the understandings of dynamics in the comtemporary international logistics.

When designing new marine traffic routes, it is desirable that the congestion due to traffic volume is evaluated by theoretical traffic capacity or by traffic simulation. Most of these techniques are applied to single server which is not considered channel width. Over-taking or paralle sailing of two or more vessels is allowalbe in Dover, Uraga, Gaduk-sudo, etc under their traffic capacity. In this paper, the Bumper Model is introduced to multiple severs in narrow channel and applied to Uraga Channel in Japan. The minimum width of Uraga Channel is 1, 400 m and its design traffic capacity is evaluated 19.26 ~ 19.52% of the basic traffic capacity. The traffic capacity on Gaduk Channel according to Busan New Port Development in 2011 will be estimated 3.59 % of maximum density and equal to 18.6% of that on Uraga Channel in 1992. The channel width Gaduk-sudo is designed 1, 600~2, 460 m and evaluated safe enough.
