우리나라 선박관리기업의 시장규모추정과 경영분석에 SWOT 분석

The purpose of this study is to forecast the ship-management market size and to propose a management improvement scheme to support Korean ship management companies in the stagnating world shipping market. Recently, global shipping companies have begun outsourcing all ship management activities. However, the Korean ship-management market represents just 3.75% of ocean shipping companies’ sales, making it necessary to enlarge this market. This study performs a business analysis of ship management companies in Korea. The findings show that these companies’ profitability and financial structures are not very good, mainly because of insufficient management ability and small firm sizes. Therefore, we propose that the Korean government supports crew training programs and shipping financial systems.
