This study focuses on systematic structure of factors, which affect commercialization of ocean science and technology (OST), applying both grounded theory methodology (GTM) and semantic network analysis methodology (SNAM) by using in-depth interviews with 8 specialists previously experienced in the same field. This study further focuses on clarification of the distinctiveness and universality of commercialization factors on OST by comparatively analyzing on the commercialization factors of general sciences and technologies. Using SNAM, it was determined that commercialization success required connected support system, government support, technology marketing, technology power and characteristics of commercialized entities, which were identified as dominant factors. GTM presented an outcome that connected support systems among participants in commercialization and found that research institute strategies are significant factors in the core phenomenon of commercialization, while technology marketing, technology power and market-oriented technology are important conditions. In addition, the factors of technology, market, connection of participants and government support of commercialized entities are shown as equally important factors for commercialization of ocean science and technology. Secondly, SNAM results indicate that ocean science characteristics depend on a network of government support, research institute strategy, organization and manpower, capital power, and technology marketing, as these ocean science characteristics have been identified as significant factors in the GTM study. It has been determined that technology, market and government support should be connected in order for commercialization of ocean science and technology (OST). Moreover, commercialization methods, applied to the marketing of commercialization of ocean science and technology is differentiated from others since commercialization success is more relevant to these factors.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the substitution among production factors of Korean distant water longline fisheries in IATTC waters. In the analysis, the translog function which have one output variable of total cost and input variables of labor, fuel, fishing gear, and capital was established and it was transformed into simultaneous equations by each cost. Then, variables of equations were estimated by SUR (seemingly unrelated regression) model. Since distant water longline fisheries is a fishing type with high fuel usage, substitution of fuel with other factors was mainly analyzed. Results showed a substitute relation between fuel and labor as well as fuel and fishing gear, while a complementary relation between fuel and capital. In addition, it was analyzed that magnitude of fuel elasticity with other factors would be inelastic.

Given the cyclicality, seasonality, and capital-intensiveness, the development of the shipping industry has long been contingent on corporate financing activities. As such, there have been a growing number of cities in East Asia pursuing a global maritime financial center in order to support their domestic shipping industry. However, it is widely accepted that financial services relevant to shipping in East Asia are quite under-developed compared to those of other leading maritime financial centers in Europe and North America. In this regard, this paper aimed to construct an evaluation index of maritime financial centers in terms of financial ecological environment for the purpose of highlighting the current status of development and suggesting future directions. Furthermore, this paper examined the development of shipping finance in Qingdao as a numerical example using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and compared results with those of Shanghai.

이익조정은 사적인 목적을 가지고 재무보고과정에 의도적으로 개입하거나, 이해관계자들에게 기업성과를 호도하는 일련의 과정 또는 선택을 의미한다. 해운기업의 경우 선박확보와 결부된 자본구조로 인해 부채계약을 위반할 가능성이 높고, 이에 따른 이익조정 동기 또한 타 산업에 비해 높은 특징을 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문은 2007년 이후 87개 해운기업을 대상으로 해운기업의 이익관리여부를 확인함과 동시에 수정 Jones모형을 통해 도출된 재량적발생액과 자본구조변수와의 관계 및 해운기업의 이익조정행태를 알아보고자 하였다. 해운기업의 이익관리 가능성을 확인하기 위해 분포도와 차이분석 및 FGLS분석을 실시하였으며, 분석결과 0에 근접하여 손실을 본 기업들의 이익조정 즉, 이익관리 가능성을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 자본구조관련 변수와 재량적발생액에는 부(-)의 관련성이 관찰되어 국내 많은 연구들과 유사한 결과를 보여주었다. 현금흐름변수 또한 유의한 것으로 나타나, 국내기업의 현금흐름중시 경향이 자본구조와 재량적발생액사이에 부(-)의 관련성을 발생시킬 수 있다는 기존 연구를 뒷받침해 주었다. 해운기업의 이익관리행태에 대한 추가분석에서는 전기부채만기구조가 이익조정과 부(-)의 관련성을 보였으며, 부채비율이 급격히 증가한 집단에서 이익조정의 가능성이 더 큼을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, there has been an increase in the demand for natural gas as a source of clean energy, which has increased the demand for LNG carriers. However, LNG carriers require a capital investment to obtain equipment for the regasification process, which prevents fires and explosions. Thus, on account of NIMBY, a CNG carrier is suggested that eliminates the need for regasification equipment. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide emissions are more and more regulated by international conventions such as the Kyoto Protocol. Because of this, $CO_2$ carriers have also received international attention as a methodology to transport and store $CO_2$ cargoes. Several vessels or tanks to transport and store $CO_2$ gas have been studied in various countries. This paper proposes a conceptual design for a 20ft container shaped tank to effectively transport small cargoes of $CO_2$ and CNG. The proposed pressure vessel or tank will be carried by a conventional containership or special cargo ship. The influences of the design parameters for proposed pressure vessel or tank. Including the materials, scantlings, and shape of the pressure vessel, are studied theoretically and computationally.

In recent years, floating offshore wind turbines have attracted more attention as a new renewable energy resource while bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines reach their limit of water depth. Various projects have been proposed with the rapid increase in installed floating wind power capacity, but the economic aspect remains as a biggest issue. To figure out sensible approaches for saving costs, a comparison analysis of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) between floating and bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines was carried out. The LCOE was reviewed from a social perspective and a cost breakdown and a literature review analysis were used to itemize the costs into its various components in each level of power plant and system integration. The results show that the highest proportion in capital expenditure of a floating offshore wind turbine results in the substructure part, which is the main difference from a bottom-fixed wind turbine. A floating offshore wind turbine was found to have several advantages over a bottom-fixed wind turbine. Although a similarity in operation and maintenance cost structure is revealed, a floating wind turbine still has the benefit of being able to be maintained at a seaport. After emphasizing the cost-reduction advantages of a floating wind turbine, its LCOE outlook is provided to give a brief overview in the following years. Finally, some estimated cost drivers, such as economics of scale, wind turbine rating, a floater with mooring system, and grid connection cost, are outlined as proposals for floating wind LCOE reduction.

본 연구에서 기업가치의 대용변수로 활용된 투하자산수익률과 재무구조(부채비율)은 정(+)의 관련성을 보이고 있다. 이는 재무적 곤경에 처하기 이전에는 자기자본비용보다 절세효과가 있는 부채의 자본비용이 저렴하기 때문에 기업가치와 재무구조는 정(+)의 관련이 있다는 정태적 절충이론과 부합되는 결과이다. 또한, 영업수익성(EBITDA/매출), 투자안전성, 총자산 성장률, 순운전자본 그리고 감가상각비는 재무구조(부채비율)와 부(-)의 관련성을 띠고 있다. 이는 성장률이 낮을수록 부채비율이 높다는 Jensen의 부채의 통제가설과 수익성과 현금흐름이 높은 기업은 내부자금조달이 원활하므로 부채비율이 낮다는 자금순위이론에 부합되는 연구결과이다. 연료비, 차입금, 총자산회전율, 금융비용, 용선료, 유형자산율은 부채비율과 유의적인 정(+)의 관련성을 띠고 있다. 이는 대리이론과 부합되는 결과이며 파산한 H선사처럼 과도한 용선료가 우리나라 외항선사의 재무구조를 압박하는 요인으로 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, through case studies, the usefulness of utilizing local R&D centers under science and technology ODA programs. For the past few decades, advanced countries have supported ODA projects of developing countries, but there have been negative opinions regarding the results. Through a case study of the black pearl cultivation project between the Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology and Micronesia, this study explains the usefulness of actively utilizing Korean R&D centers established and operational in recipient countries. Although black pearl cultivation is not an ODA project, the case study offers valuable insights as it is operated in a similar form and thus highly applicable to future projects. Based on the case study, four implications were derived to ensure the successful operations of science and technology ODA projects in the future. First, there is a need to improve relevance by making use of the technological capacities of local R&D institutes to develop projects that reflect the needs of recipient and donor countries. Second, trust must be established with local communities over the long term in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of project operations. Third, the proportion of science and technology ODA projects must be expanded to acquire sustainability, and more support should be granted to ODA projects involving marine resources, which are an advantage for countries of Micronesia. Lastly, the locals should be offered employment opportunities and regular training programs to allow for the actual transfer of knowledge instead of mere techniques. The implications derived in this study will prove useful in pursuing science and technology ODA projects, especially with Micronesia.
