Abstract

Russia has access to unique port locations and routes, one of them is North Sea route, which have been a major debate topic for last several decades. In order to handle any shipments along the route, an adequate and capable port system must be present. This study aims to identify development and competition patterns from 2007 to 2016 of Russian ports in the Arctic basin, concentration trends in particular. The objectives achieved through utilizing the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), concentration ratio (CR), the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve, and shift-share analysis. Results demonstrate concentration trend, positive overall growth and lack of real competition. Originality of this study lies in the fact that certain analysis had not been done in previous studies, but importance of it may be found in several papers. Findings of this paper may assist policy-makers, port authorities and other researchers in understanding and further study on the region.

러시아는 북극의 항로와 항만을 소유하고 접근할 수 있는 권한을 가지고 있다. 북극항로는 지난 수십 년간 주요 논쟁의 대상이 되었다. 항로상에서 화물처리를 위하여 적합한 항만시스템은 필수적이다. 본 연구는 2007년에서 2016년 사이 북극항로에 위치한 러시아 항만의 개발 및 경쟁에 대한 현상을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 방법은 HHI, CR, Gini Coefficient, Lorenz Curve, Shift-Share Analysis를 사용하였다. 연구결과, 집중화현상과 약한 성장 및 작은 규모의 항만경쟁이 있음을 밝혔다. 본 연구는 북극항로에 위치한 항만 관련 연구가 미진한 현재 상황에서 의미가 있으며, 연구결과는 항만정책 담당자, PA 담당자 및 연구자에게 시사점을 제공한다.
