중국 경제의 급격하게 성장함에 따라 서해안의 항만들의 중요성 또한 커지고 있다. 중국과 근접한 군산.장항은 지리적 이점과 증가하는 물동량으로 서해 관문항으로서의 역할이 더욱 중요해 지고 있다. 하지만 군장항은 정기항로의 부재, 화주의 특정항 지정 및 타항 대비 물류비 과다 등으로 기업들이 군장항을 이용하지 않고 있으며 이로 인한 국제항로의 부족이 군장항 활성화를 가로막는 저해 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 과거 5년간 발생했던 기종점(O/D)자료를 분석하여 대중국 주요 항만 및 주요 수출입 품목을 살펴보고 군장항 발전 방향을 모색하고자 한다. 여기서 기종점 (Origin-Destination) 분석이라 함은 화물이 어디에서 얼마나 발했는가, 그 화물이 어떤 목적지로 향하는가 또는 어떤 경로를 통해 운송이 되는가를 파악하는 것을 말하다.

A Port is, one of the important infrastructures, the terminal to connect between land and sea and exerts influences on the development of nation and local area. Accordingly government and privates are making an investment in port facilities in order to raise its competitive power. Due to the economic growth of China and the geographic advantage that Gunsan and Janghang port are close to China, recently traffic with China is rapidly increasing and the role of Gunsan & Janghang ports as a gateway port of west costbecame more important. There, however, remains that Gunsan and Janhang port still don't equipped with enough facilities and strategies to handle increasing traffic. The purpose of this paper is to analyze O/D data of Gunsan-Janghang Port and present the result of O/D as preliminary data. O/D data of Gunsan and Janghang had been analyzed by kinds of cargoes and from/to China's ports and this paper suggests to the competitive strategies of Gunsan and Janghang port to attract cargoes from/to China particularly.

Vietnam's sea-port industry has experienced a significant development in recent years. Especially in Northern Vietnam, both the demand and supply of handling services for containerized cargoes have increased at a considerable rates. Accompany with such movement, the competition among container terminals in the area becomes fiercer. In this paper, Hierarchical Cluster Analysis is employed to classify all 11 container terminals in Northern Vietnam by collecting data concerning terminal competitiveness. After the classification, each group will be discussed in order to reveal more details about their competitive characteristics. The paper consists of five sections. Section 1 is the general introduction. Section 2 provides a general literature review about competitiveness and factors to evaluate competitiveness. Section 3 explains variables and methodology applied to do the analysis. Section 4 presents the results with linkage to the current condition. Section 5 summarizes the analysis results. It is shown that container terminals in Northern Vietnam should not only pay attention to their service qualities but also have to find out an appropriate mechanism to avoid unhealthy competition. The paper is expected to contribute a background for further researches in container terminals' competition in the region as well as hints for operators in planning and making decisions.

본 연구는 최근 10여 년간의 한중일 3국간의 무역량 증대 및 관광객 증가 현상과 함께, 한중 및 한일 카페리항로의 시장여건 변화를 고찰하고자 함이 목적이다. 한중 및 한일 카페리항로는 각각 상이한 발전 역사를 가져왔으며 상품 서비스의 라이프싸이클 이론에 있어서 시장여건이 상이하다. 기존 관련 연구들이 개별적인 항로를 대상으로 분절된 시각으로 카페리시장을 연구한 까닭으로, 우리나라 국제카페리 항로의 시장여건에 대한 보다 체계적이고 종합적인 이해가 부족하였다고 보인다. 이러한 배경에서 본 논문은 2000년 이후 2012년 사이의 한중 및 한일 카페리항로의 시장현황을 조사하고 카페리선사의 경영성과를 평가하였으며, 카페리항로별 시장여건 변화에 대한 통계적 분석을 실시하였다. 마지막으로 한중 및 한일 카페리항로의 시장 수명주기별 단계를 진단하고 향후 전망에 대하여 고찰하였다. 연구의 성과로는 카페리항로별로 화물 및 여객 수요의 향후 전망은 다소 상이하였으며, 전반적으로 성장둔화 및 침체가 예상되었고, 경쟁하는 수송수단간의 상관관계분석에서도 항로별 상이한 시장환경에 처한 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만 선사경영 성과분석에서 두 항로 환경은 성장성과 수익성이 나빠졌다는 점이 공통적이었다. 분석결과를 종합적으로 보면 한중항로는 성장기에서 성숙기 단계로 진입하고 한일 항로는 성숙기 심화 중으로 판단되고, 각 항로는 상이한 시장여건에 대응할 발전전략을 구축함이 시급하다고 주장하였다.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the mechanics of price formation in the tramp shipping. For the purpose of this study, the main characteristics of tramp freight rates and the market is examined, and a brief examination of the nature ofthe costs of operation is given which are essential for the understanding of the functioning of shipping firms as well as for the understanding of developments in the tramp freight market. The demand and supply relationships in the market is also analysed in detail. Tramp shipping is an industry that has a market which functions under conditions that are not dissimilar to the theoretical model of perfect competition. However, it does notmean that tramp shipping market is a perfectly competitive market. It is apparent that this realworld competitive system has its imperfections, which means that the market for tramp shipping is near to being a perfectly competitive market on an internaitonal scale and it is freight are therefore subjext to the laws of supply and demand. In theory, the minimum freight rate in the short term is that at which the lowest cost vessels will lay-up in preference to operating, and is equal to the variable costs minus lay-up costs; and this would imply that in all times except those of full employment for ships there is a tendency for newer low-cost, and, probably, faster vessels to be driving the older high-cost vessels in the breaker's yards. In this case, shipowners may be reluctant to lay-up their ships becasue of obligations to crews, or because they would lose credibility with shippers or financiers, or simply because of lost prestige. Mainly, however, the decision is made on strictly economic grounds. When, for example, the total operating costs minus the likely freight earnings are greater than the cost of taking the ship out of service, maintaining it, and recommissioning it, then a ship may be considered for laying-up; shipowners will, in other words, run the ships at freight earnings below operating costs by as much as the cost of laying them up. As described above, the freight rates fixed on the tramp shipping market are subject to the laws of supply and demand. In other words, the basic properties of supply and demand are of significance so far as price or rate fluctuations in the tramp freight market are concerned. In connection with the same of the demand for tramp shipping services, the following points should be brone in mind: (a) That the magnitude of demand for sea transport of dry cargoes in general and for tramp shipping services in particular is increasing in the long run. (b) That owning to external factors, the demand for tramp shipping services is capable of varying sharphy at a given going of time. (c) The demad for the industry's services tends to be price inelastic in the short run. On the other hand the demand for the services offered by the individual shipping firm tends as a rule to be infinitely price elastic. In the meantime, the properties of the supply of the tramp shipping facilities are that it cannot expand or contract in the short run. Also, that in the long run there is a time-lag between entrepreneurs' decision to expand their fleets and the actual time of delivery of the new vessels. Thus, supply is inelastic and not capable of responding to demand and price changes at a given period of time. In conclusion, it can be safely stated that short-run changes in freight rates are a direct result of variations in the magnitude of demand for tramp shipping facilities, whilest the average level of freight rates is brought down to relatively low levels over prolonged periods of time.
