컨테이너 선사들은 세계경제의 불황과 고유가가 지속되고 있는 상황에서 선박운영비용을 낮추기 위한 다각적인 노력들을 전개하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서, Grand Alliance는 극동 북미서안 서비스인 CCX와 극동 북미동안 서비스인 NCE에 서비스별 선박추가 투입대신에 Dedicated Feeder 투입을 하기로 결정하였다. 즉, 기간항로의 선박이 북중국항만에 기항하지 않고 환적항인 부산항에서 Feeder선을 통하여 환적 운송하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 전용피더 서비스 도입을 통한 환적의 경제성 효과를 확인하기 위하여 Grand Alliance 컨테이너 서비스의 실제 운영 자료에 대해 분석하였다. 이와 같은 전략을 통해 Grand Alliance의 'NCE, 'CCX'항로는 기간항로에 투입되는 선박의 감속운항이 가능하게 되어 선박 운영비의 절감 효과를 보이고 있다.

In recent years, shipping and ports industries are faced with enormous changes like globalization, market liberalization and borderless businesses. To cope with this competitive environment, a certain form of cooperation among ports is necessary to provide high quality of services and lower costs to establish their market power against shipping companies. The purpose of this study is to identify the motivation of the strategic alliances between ports and demonstrate the level of importance using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Among four motivations of the strategic alliances which are strategic motivation, economic motivation, operational motivation and marketing motivation, economic motivation is the most important factor for ports alliances than other factors. This is because economic motivation among strategic alliances allow ports in the same market to rationalize supply and demand, thus avoiding unnecessary over-supply and over-competition and also can reduce service costs by using comparative advantages of each partner which make costs cheaper.

This study analyzes how the port connectivity network has changed with the restructuring of the liner shipping alliance and explores the impact of these changes on network characteristics using social network analysis (SNA). While due to economies of scale, the scale of ports and liner shipping has expanded, the goal of shipping companies has changed to achieve cost-effectiveness due to the diseconomies of scale. Such changes in the environment have greatly affected ports according to the strategies of major liner alliances, and port centrality has shifted in response to restructuring in strategic alliances. This research confirmed that port centrality has continuously changed, and the reason for this phenomenon was analyzed through the derived main network centrality indices. This finding provides significant implications for port authorities and terminal operators to consider different perspectives when planning for sustainable growth and management.

문화는 그 사회를 구성하는 구성원의 행동과 판단의 준거가 되기 때문에 전략적 제휴에도 많은 영향을 미친다. 정기선사간의 전략적 제휴의 실패는 재무적인 요인이나 영업적인 요인들보다도 문화적인 요인의 영향을 더 많이 받는다. 문화적인 요인에 영향에 의한 전략적 제휴의 실패는 파트너에 대한 문화적인 차이를 간과한 결과이므로 다른 요인들보다도 문화적인 요인에 대한 우선적으로 고려해야 한다. 문화에 대한 개방성을 통해 파트너를 이해하고, 전략적 제휴를 수행하는 구성원들의 만족을 고려해야 전략적 제휴를 성공적으로 이끌 수 있다.

동일 항로를 운항하는 해운사들 간의 전략적 제휴는 과당 경쟁을 피하고 운송합리화를 통한 비용 절감 목적으로 다양한 형태와 방식으로 진행되어 왔다. 특히 컨테이너 정기선 선사들 간의 전략적 제휴 형태로 가장 활발하게 시도되고 있는 것이 공동배선을 통한 컨테이너 수송이다. 동일 항로를 운항하는 제휴사들 간에 이와 같이 공동배선을 통해 수송하게 되면 제휴를 맺은 선사들 공히 비용을 줄이고 수익을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 전략적 제휴를 맺고 공동배선을 하는 경우 총 비용을 최소화하는 수학적 모형을 제시하였고, 이를 풀기 위한 해법으로서 엑셀의 최적화 도구를 사용하는 방법을 제시하였다. 기존 논문들에서도 동일한 문제를 대상으로 수학적 모형을 제시하고 있으나, 이들 모형은 비선형계획법 모형으로서 해법을 적용하여 풀기에 한계가 있다는 단점이 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 모형은 선형계획법 모형으로서, 기존 논문들에서 제시하고 있는 비선형계획법 모형에 비해 개선된 모형이라고 할 수 있다. 기존 비선형계획법 모형을 이용하여 항로별 컨테이너 수송 할당 방법을 찾고자 할 경우 현실적인 문제를 대상으로 풀기가 까다로워 현실 적용가능성 측면에서 상당히 많은 제약이 따르게 되지만, 본 연구에서 제시하는 모형을 적용하면 현실적인 문제에 대해서 쉽게 해결할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 모형의 현실 적용가능성을 테스트하기 위해 기존 논문에서 사용한 예제 문제와 동일한 문제를 대상으로 적용해 보았다. 추가기능 프로그램인 Premium Solver Platform을 엑셀 최적화 도구에 연동하여 풀어 본 결과, 자사 선박 및 제휴사 선박에 대한 최적 할당방법을 아주 쉽게 찾을 수 있었다. 그리고 자사 단독으로 컨테이너 수송하는 경우의 모형도 제시하여 동일한 문제를 대상으로 적용해 본 결과, 제휴 선사와 공동배선을 하는 경우가 자사 단독으로 컨테이너 수송하는 경우보다는 총비용 측면에서 많은 절감이 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

The core of this research studies the strategic alliance of airlines, container shipping liners, and port operators that have shown successful results through the recent differentiated strategic Alliance Network, although a difference of scale exists between these firms and the small and mid-sized International Logistics firms, but because of the worldwide traditional Alliance Network of International Logistics firms, HTFN's(High Tech Forwarder Network) half hearted attitude and the small scale alliance of the small and mid-sized International Logistics firms organized in 1998 cannot breakthrough the present strenuous situation. And these results, creating an attempt to save our country's International Logistics Industry which have fallen into depression, suggests an awakening of a new strategy based on specialized nationals innovative IT-which does not exist in the world market-by categorizing our country's small and mid-sized International Logistics firms which are active worldwide.

Recently, amount of cargoes from main ports in Northeast Asia have rapidly increased and as well surplus port development in same region corresponded with the boom in external trade that resulted from successful export-oriented economics strategy by China, Japan and South Korea. To cope with this business circumstances, a certain form of port alliance is desperately needed to provide a suitable service to customer and establish their countervailing power against the shipping alliance. Nevertheless, Incheon seaport has not made a definite port alliance system with main ports in Northern China yet. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify the key success factors to form a port alliance through examining previous studies. We have benchmarked previous studies which are related to main ports in global region and the questionnaire on customers of ports. By studying this, we are able to suggest a few strategies for forming successful port alliance to enhance Incheon port's capabilities in the long term plan. As a policy proposal, this study suggests Incheon port and main ports in Northern China should construct a logistics infrastructure through mutual investment and provide an incentive system when the ocean carrier makes port call to both ports.

Purpose - The antecedent to the relationship between the effect of the characteristics of strategic alliances and the performance of container liner shipping companies has been investigated in this study as container liner shipping companies' strategic alliances. It affects positively and negatively home, partner, and the third parties' performance in container liner shipping companies. Extensive literature reviews on shipper's strategic alliances reveal that strategic alliances in financial and non-financial performance of container liner shipping companies show the performance such as economic effects, business performance, global supply chain management performance, customer satisfaction, and forward integration and backward integration performance. The purpose of this study is to test empirically that the relationship between the characteristics of strategic alliances and financial and non-financial performance in container liner shipping companies. Structured equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the hypothesis using AMOS statistics program. Most previous researches focused on the relationship between the characteristics of strategic alliances and alliance types. There are few empirical studies that focus on business performance data because it is difficult to collect data in container liner shipping companies. However, this research measures financial and non-financial performance differently compared with the previous researches focusing on the characteristics of strategic alliances and alliance types measurements. Research design, data, and methodology - The conceptual model for the study is based on the studies of Lim (2010), Chen & Zhen (2009), and Wang & Meng (2014). The model is built around the factors of characteristics of strategic alliances and business performance. Cost, marketing, and service factors are regarded as proxy for the characteristics of strategic alliances. The financial and non-financial performance are regarded as proxy for the performance of strategic alliances. Based on the analysis of one hundred cases such as forwarder, shipper, and liner shipping companies, this study uses structural equation modeling to verify the effects of the characteristics of strategic alliances on business performance. Conclusions - This study provides container liner shipping companies to get some policy and practical implications in terms of the characteristics of strategic alliances and business performance. First, the cost factor for alliances characteristics has a positively significant influence on the financial and non-financial performance of strategic alliances. The cost factor relationship between high and low performance group does not have a significant difference on the performance of strategic alliances. Second, the marketing factor of alliances characteristics has a positively significant influence on the financial and non-financial performance of strategic alliances. The high performance group's marketing factor has a great non-financial performance than low performance group, but the low performance group's marketing factor has a grater financial performance than high performance group factor does. Third, the service factor of alliances characteristics has a negative influence on the non-financial performance of strategic alliances. The high performance group's service factor has a great non-financial performance than low performance group. Based on the findings from this study, related implications and future avenues deserve to be discussed.

Environment of marine transportation market is changing rapidly. Due to globalization of world economy, marine transportation of cargos, especially trade using container boxes, is increasing dramatically. Fierce competition in the global market of container transportation forces the shipping industry to seek the economy of scale to reduce transportation cost, and drives the merge and alliance of liner shipping companies. Mega-sized container ships, having capacity over 10,000 TEU, were introduced, and appeared recently, in order to reduce the unit transportation cost. Korean shipping and shipbuilding companies are competitive, and have considerable market share in the global market. Even though both industries are inter-connected through ships and have many common interests in order to enlarge the global market share, inter-relation between two industries is surprisingly insignificant. In this paper current issues in the process of environmental change of marine cargo transportation are reviewed, and inter-relation of shipping and shipbuilding industries is discussed. Suggestions for inter-related development of Korean shipping and shipbuilding industries are given, and means for mutually beneficial collaboration are suggested.
