유럽연합(EU)의 집행위원회(European Commission)가 국제 화물운송료를 담합한 글로벌 물류기업에 대규모 과징금을 부과했다. EU 경쟁당국은 쿠네&네이젤(Khune+Nagel), 판알피나(Panalpina), 유피에스(UPS) 등에 총 1억 6,900만 유로의 과징금을 부과했다. EC는 총 14개의 회사가 화물운송 가격 담합에 가담하여, 미국 유럽 아시아 등으로 운송되는 화물의 운송비를 불법적으로 책정한 것으로 판단하였다. 한편 DHL은 자진신고를 통해 리니언시(liniency) 적용으로 과징금을 부과 받지 않았다. 유럽연합은 이러한 국제카르텔에 대한 법집행 차원에서 과징금 부과 및 당해행위에 대한 금지명령 등 행정적 제재를 강화하며, 세계 경쟁정책 및 법집행을 주도하고 있다. 또한 유럽연합은 해운동맹 폐지를 비롯한 해운업계의 반경쟁적 행위에 대한 제한도 강화하고 있다. EU는 2008년 10월부터 해운동맹의 공동가격설정 및 선복량 조절 행위를 금지하고 있다. 유럽집행위원회는 지난해 5월 초 13개 컨테이너 선사의 유럽 사무소를 기습 감사, 조사하였다. 현재 EU는 자료조사 중이며 결과는 아직까지 확인되지 않고 있다. EU의 조사는 상당히 지체되는 경향이 있는데, 향후 추가 질의서 요구가 예상되며 불법행위가 밝혀질 경우 개별 기업 글로벌 수익의 10%에 해당하는 벌금 부과가 가능하며, 영국에서는 형사고발도 가능하다. 다음은 한국해양수산개발원 최영석 전문연구원이 발표한 "국제해운의 해운동맹 폐지 및 담합행위 제한 강화"의 주요 내용을 요약정리한 것이다.

The shipping industry has experienced significantly fluctuated while decline in long-term and boom in short-term period due to the continuous recession of the shipping industry since the 2010s and during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to suggest implications for securing manpower and personnel policy by analyzing the effects of job environmental factors of a liner shipping company on job satisfaction and turnover intention and differences between land and marine workers. For the analysis, the job environmental factors of a liner shipping company were divided into work character, relational factors, personnel characters, and remuneration factors, and then structural equation model and t-test were conducted to test the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. As a result of the study, it was found that job environmental factors, such as work, relationship, personnel, and remuneration, had a positive (+) effect on job satisfaction, and job satisfaction had a negative (-) effect on turnover intention. In a comparative analysis between groups such as land and sea workers, it was found that the maritime workers group had higher job satisfaction and lower turnover intention than the land workers.

The 2008 global financial crisis was triggered by the Lehman Brothers crisis caused by the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States This crisis has had an impact on the globe's dry bulk shipping market by reducing dry bulk cargo volume. An oversupply of dry bulk carriers caused a serious recession in the globe's dry-bulk shipping industry and shipbuilding industry. In this situation, the Korean dry-bulk shipping companies were victims of the quagmire of a long recession since the global financial crisis and could not overcome this crisis. This condition forced them into severe financial risk Thus, it caused many shipping companies to file for bankruptcy. In this study, we classified Korean ocean-going dry-bulk shipping companies into two groups, that is, the solvent group and the insolvent group. We also separated the research period before and after the 2008 global financial crisis. Then we investigated the differences in the major financial ratios of the two groups by t-test and found that some financial ratios such as profitability ratios and growth ratios showed the difference between the two groups with statistical significance. The significance of this study is as follow. First, the shipping company management is also crucial for the systematic management of financial strength and business strategy, it is crucial to manage cargo which a high profitable freight. Second, the shipping company should be managed as a company with continued growth through efficient operation and management of ships.

경제의 글로벌화로 항만과 해운산업은 경쟁이 가장 치열한 대표적인 산업분야로 자리매김하고 있다. 이에 따라 과거 항만간, 선사간 경쟁에서 최근들어서는 이들이 속한 전체 logistics chain 간의 경쟁으로 확대되고 있다. 이같은 항만과 해운의 경쟁구조 변화로 logistics chain 참여자들(터미널운영사, 정기선사 등)의 성공은 자신만의 경쟁력에 좌우되지 않고 오히려 이들이 속한 전체 logistics chain의 경쟁력에 달려 있다. 특히 logistics chain 참여자들은 새로운 경쟁환경에 대응하여 경쟁력을 제고하고자 상호 수평적 또는 수직적 협력관계를 강화하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 항만의 경쟁구조 변화를 검토한 후 우리 항만의 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In Korea-China shipping route, the level of freight rate has been maintained very low for last two decades not only because supply of shipping capacity is higher than its demand but also because the route was regulated by the two governments. An examination is made of the effects of openness of Korea-China Liner Shipping Route on competitiveness of Korean-flag Liner Shipping companies. This task is undertaken by detailing the development of the cargo sharing respectively by shipping companies of each country. Then it is suggested the ways to cope with the new environmental changes in Korea-China liner shipping route for the future by examining the future strategies for Korean-flag companies by in-depth interviews with major shipping companies.

The probability of T/S cargo volume to decrease is the most notable problem associated with inappropriate mix of terminal operators in Busan port. Other problems include, the deterioration of the national carriers' competitiveness from non-operation of own terminal, excessively high proportion of financial operators in the engagement of operation which may result in their passiveness in timely investment, additional cost burden to carriers' in the handling inter-terminal T/S cargo transportation and inefficiency in terminal operation by the multiplicity of operators proved to be same recognized as so through the analysis. Therefore, in order to provide solutions for the problems and to strengthen Busan port's competitiveness, this research suggests the restructuring of operators mix as follows. To achieve sustainable growth of T/S cargo, global carriers' participation in terminal operation should be of utmost priority. To enhance the operational efficiency, the operators should be integrated. Similarly, the integration of operators will play a key role in verifying that national carriers' own terminal operation is an important factor in raising its competence. Finally, BPA's active engagement in the entire operation of port is also critical in public-oriented operation of the port. Whereas in the interactive analysis by taking the merits of Busan port into consideraion, global carrier's participation in operation, integration of operators and BPA's engagement in operation proved to contribute to the increase of T/S cargo and strengthening of operational efficiencies of Busan port.

The shipping industry is cyclically impacted by complex variables such as various economic indicators, social events, and supply and demand. The purpose of this study was to analyze the operating profit of 13 Korean liner companies over 30 years, including the financial crisis of the late 1990s, the global financial crisis of the late 2000s, and the COVID-19 global pandemic. This study was conducted to also identify factors that impacted the profit ratio of Korea's liner shipping companies according to economic conditions. It was divided into ocean-going and short-sea shipping, reflecting the characteristics of liner shipping companies, and was analyzed by hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The time series data are based on the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS) and comprise seaborne trade volume, fleet evolution, and macroeconomic indicators. The outliers representing the economic downturn due to social events were separately analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the China Container Freight Index (CCFI) positively impacted ocean-going as well as short-sea liner shipping companies. However, the Korean container shipping volume only impacted ocean-going liners positively. Additionally, world and Korea's GDP, world seaborne trade volume, and fuel price are factored in the operating profit of short sea liner shipping. Also, the GDP growth rate of China, exchange rate, and interest rate did not significantly impact both groups. Notably, the operating profitability of Korea's liner shipping shows an exceptionally high rate during the recessions of 1998 and 2020. It is paradoxical, and not correlated with the classical economic indicators. Unlike other studies, this paper focused on the operating profit before financial expenses, considering the complexity as well as difficulty in forecasting the shipping cycle, and rendered conclusions using relatively long-term empirical analysis, including three economic shocks.

전 세계 국제무역거래의 80%가 해상운송으로 이루어지고 있음에 따라, 연 6%로 세계 컨테이너 물동량의 증가가 전망됨에 따라 선박기인 온실가스의 증가에 대한 관심과 규제가 강화되고 있다. 즉 IMO 제62차 해양환경보호위원회에서 선박기인 온실가스 규제방안으로 EEDI와 SEEMP를 도입, 현재 발효 중에 있으며, 각 국의 항만당국 또한 대기오염 등의 환경규제 정책의 일환으로 그린 또는 에코포트 정책을 수립하여 이행 중에 있다. 이러한 해운환경의 변화로 인하여 해운선사는 글로벌 경쟁력 강화와 환경규제에 대응하기 위하여, 선박의 대형화를 통한 규모의 경제 실현은 물론, 급등하는 유가와 환경규제에 대비하여 고 에너지효율 및 저탄소 선박에 대한 수요가 늘어나고 있다. 이에 일본, 싱가폴, 노르웨이 등 EU 국가 등의 해운 선진국들은 1990년대 후반부터 친환경 선박의 개발에 대한 국가적 프로젝트를 체계적으로 이행해 오고 있으며, 이를 통한 친환경 선박기술의 확보와 친환경 선박시장의 점유율을 높이고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 본 논문은 선진 해운국가들이 수행중인 친환경 선박개발의 현황에 대한 벤치마킹을 통하여 상대적으로 뒤쳐져 있는 우리나라 친환경 선박개발 방안을 위한 여러 정책적 제안을 하고자 한다.
