총 운송비용 평가를 통한 전대사용료 산정

Abstract

Lately, China has experienced the big increase of import and export goods owing to its economic development, on the other hand Korea has shown relatively low increase in the volume of import and export cargoes. Therefore, the logistics industry of Korea has to depend on the domestic cargo volume.

In this view, ports in Korea have to seek how to attract transshipment cargoes of China and offer competitive port charges to shipping lines and shippers to help them cut down their operation cost. Among all port charges including pilotage, towage, port entrance fee, stevedorage, and so on, shipping lines can get direct benefit from lower stevedorage rate according to their cargo volume changes. However, the reduction of stevedorage should not impact revenue of terminal. This means port authority has to adjust terminal facilities leasing fee which is collected from terminals, eventually from shipping lines and shipper, included in stevedorage.

This thesis suggested a couple of vessel operation scenarios according to the current vessel operation patterns in the industry and analyzed vessel operation cost of each scenario. The study is aimed to provide ports in Korea with the competitive position against ports in adjacent countries, specially China, by suggesting how to calculate the appropriate terminal facilities leasing fee.
