Although ports play one of the most important roles in international trade, little research has been done on the influence of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) on maritime transport and port volume. While the quantity of goods transported is a great indicator for composing ship groups that can lead to an expansion of port infrastructure, routes, ships, and processing abilities; previous research has focused only on the amount of money involved. Even though it is essential to understand the expected economic effects that FTAs will bring in the future, this study analyzes the current influences of FTAs, that have been already contracted, using existing experimental data. Study results show how FTA affects the volume of transported goods in South Korea with the example of the FTA between South Korea and India. Finally, we provide a network model based on the existing experiment data.

It is very important to salvage the vessel and seafarer rapidly and efficiently when maritime accident occurred, as maritime accident has a bad effect on vessel, seafarer and shipping industry as well as the whole community itself. Especially, marine salvage in relation to the accident involving huge marine pollution and loss of life will be regarded as a more important process because the accident would result more severe damages. However, domestic marine salvage forces are weaker than other country's, and private marine salvage company has poor technical and commercial base even though the Korea Coast Guard and Navy have relatively more modernized equipments and squad. Thus, it is very important to promote marine salvage operation capacity because it is related with the national security as well as the national economy. In this regard, this study examines the promoting method of marine salvage including its public and private section from the perspectives of law and systemic revision.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the social costs induced by various transport modes such as truck, rail and sea vessel. For this purpose, we introduce the damage function of each transport modes, and estimate social costs for 10 items using Meta Analysis. As a results, this study can find that shipping is the most efficient transport mode because it gives the lowest social costs among them. This study also find that the iso-cost transport distance that gives the equal social costs between the transport modes. Our methodology can be thought somewhat inferior to the Contingent Valuation Methods, however the advantage of this methodology is that we can decomposite the total social costs into item by item and can apply it to other researches.

This paper aims to analyse the relative efficiency of logistics facilities and suggest the policy alternatives for exploring and activating them. This study also divides the logistics facilities into airport terminals, logistics complexes, container terminals, and trucking freight terminals. For this purpose, the CCR-DEA as well as the BCC-DEA techniques are employed to show which part explains the primary cause of inefficiencies of each DMU(Decision Making Unit). The empirical results indicate that the efficiency of logistics complex is the lowest of all, while freight trucking terminal has the highest efficiency. This study also reveals that operation inefficiency is greater than scale inefficiency in most of DMUs, showing that much more effort be done for alleviating the cost resulting from irrational management.

The Port Logistics Information System (Port-MIS) is the system that processes all of port management such as entry and departure of ships, using facilities within ports, port traffic control, cargo entering and carrying and tax collection in 31 trade ports over the whole country. Lately, The Port Logistics Information System (Port-MIS) has been reformed as a WEB-based system and established basis to provide real time information support structure, diversification of civil complaint system, and optimized civil complaint service by using wire and wireless internet. The typical study on the Port Logistics Information System was C/S program and EDI-centered. But it has significance to study on service quality measurement of WEB Port-MIS that has been served as a new web-based platform since April 2010, for there was no such a study until now.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the business performance difference based on the ownership structure type in the aspect of profitability and stability. In order to conduct this analysis in two aspects, the ship financial institutions have been classified into two groups: state-owned banks and private-owned banks. First of all, the difference of ROE and ROA between private and public ship financial institutions is statistically significant, but no difference has been shown in terms of stability measured through BIS capital adequacy ratio. Second, to test the business performance difference according to the ownership structure types before and after the global financial crisis, we examined the outcome difference in the ship financial institutions in terms of profitability and stability. However, in the event that the analysis was conducted with public and private financial institutions, the business outcome difference before and after the global financial crisis has been shown in the sector of private financial institutions, but has not been shown in the sector of public financial institutions. It is meaningful that this study is the first work which examined the difference of the operating performance by the ownership structure types of ship financial institutions. However, it is noted that small sample for this empirical study is a limitation of this thesis.

1. 철도, 도로, 항공, 해운 등 교통수단별 현황을 조사한 결과, 현재까지의 교통정책이 도로교통 우선 위주였기 때문에 철도는 뛰어난 환경성 및 경제성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 수송분담율이 비교적 저조한 편이었다. 그러나, 향후 정부의 사회기반시설 구축에 있어서 국가 기간 철도망 확대와 대도시 지하철 및 경량전철 건설을 통한 도심철도망과 간선철도망의 연결 등을 통하여 철도의 이용이 훨씬 용이해질 것으로 보이며 이에 따라 철도의 이용률도 크게 상승할 것으로 예상된다. 2. 교통수단별 일반현황은 다음과 같다. 1) 철도교통은 여객수송량이 다소 증가하고 있는 추세였는데, 2004년 KTX의 개통으로 인하여 여객수송량이 급증하였으나, 화물수송은 약간 감소하는 추세이다. 2) 도로교통은 공로의 경우 이용량이 크게 감소하고 있으나, 자가용의 경우에는 승용차의 급증에 의하여 도로의 분담률이 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 도로망의 확충이 자동차의 증가량을 따르지 못하는 것과 자동차가 도시에 밀집됨에 따른 교통체증에 따라 자가용 차량의 1일 평균 주행거리가 짧아지는 등 수송량이 크게 증가하지는 않고 있다. 3. 각 교통수단별 환경경제성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1) 단위수송량당 에너지 소비율은 여객의 경우 철도가 75.97kcal/인 km에 불과한 반면에 버스는 415.43, 택시는 1,192.24kcal/인 km에 달하여 각각 철도의 5.5배 및 15.7배나 많은 에너지를 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 화물의 경우에도 철도는 105.98kcal/톤 km에 불과한 반면에 도로는 1,674.21kcal/톤 km에 달하여 철도의 무려 15.8배의 에너지를 사용하는 것으로 나타나, 철도가 에너지 효율성 면에서 도로 교통수단보다 월등히 앞서는 친환경적이면서 경제적인 교통수단임을 알 수 있다. 2) 도로와 철도의 단위수송량 당 CO의 배출량은 도로가 1,531.2kg/백만인 km로 철도의 167.4kg/백만인 km에 비하여 9배나 되었다. 그러나, 탄화수소의 경우는 도로가 216.5kg/백만인 km으로 철도의 68.0kg/백만인 km의 3배를 넘는다. 미세먼지의 경우는 도로가 철도보다 약간 더 많은 수준이었으나, NOx와 $SO_2$는 오히려 철도가 오히려 약간 더 높게 나타났다.

Because of operating and ordering vessels over 10,000 TEU, the strategic alliance between liner shipping companies will be diversified and activated more briskly to secure cargo quantities, minimize costs, secure profits, improve service quality and manage stable business. Many of prior studies concerning strategic alliance are carried out to clarify success factors, motives or to explain how to select a good partner for success. But over 70% of strategic alliance has been resulted in failure. Because failures of strategic alliance occur much more frequently than success, negative effect factors in strategic alliance have to be measured and be adapted to changing conditions in the shipping market. To improve negative effect factors, shipping companies should make an effort to establish reliable relationships between partners and suppress claims by clearing off imprecise contract terms. And it is necessary to increase satisfaction of each individuals and minimize complexity occurred due to the exterior relationships for the successful strategic alliance.

The goal of this study is to forecast the scales of seaborne trade of iron ore and coal. It is assumed that the seaborne trade of iron ore is the function of two independent variables(crude steel production, world GDP) and the seaborne trade of coal is the function of two independent variables(crude steel production, world electricity generation). The result shows that the regressions of two functions are statistically significant respectively. As the results of forecasting, the seaborne trade of iron ore in 2010 may be 892 million tons which is increased 5.1% compare to the level of 2009. Also the seaborne trade of coal in 2010 may be 827 million tons which is increased 6.1% compare to the level of 2009. In terms of the compound annual growth rate, it is forecasted that the iron ore may show 4.7% of increasing rate from 2009 to 2015 and the seaborne trade of coal may be increased 6.1% annually for the same period.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the prospects and problems in the study of geography related to the concept of commodity, transport, and supply chains. The geography studies related to commodity chains are expanded to each field of industry focusing on the subjects and economic difference which lead the commodity chain in core and periphery regions. These vertical connection are studied with the political economy approach that gives attention to geographical pattern of agricultural products and foods. But in viewpoint of commodity circuit and commodity network, the culture or subjects of micro regions and interaction are also studied. The contents of these study are to clarify the importance of cultural turn and local. And the study of chain standpoint appears that the series of transport process by transportation modes can be understood by transport chains and the physical distribution process of sea freight is to be grasped by supply chains.
