A Study on the Roles of Korea Ocean Business Corporation to Promote Cooperation between Shipping Companies and Shippers

It is generally admitted that adversarial relationships between shipping companies and shippers have existed. Nevertheless, this study attempts to reveal how the Korea Ocean Business Corporation plays a pivotal role to increase cooperation between shipping companies and shippers. Although classification of vessel types vary according to nations and international organizations such as UNCTAD and IMO, the types of vessels are simply re-classified according to UK criterion to categorize shippers by the different kinds of ships. This study underpins that shippers can vary according to vessel types. The shippers of a container ship, a bulk carrier, and a tanker are presented and how to improve the registration system of marine cargo transportation services is supplementally suggested. Examining the reasons why shipping industry of South Korea is in peril, the importance and necessity of the cooperation between shipping companies and shippers are also proposed. Finally, three stepwise roles of Korea Ocean Business Corporation which was established on 5th July 2018 for the enhancement of the cooperation between the parties are discussed. Additionally, this study can be a fundamental research for revealing differences of cooperative attitudes of shippers according to different vessel types. Further researches regarding cooperation between a shipping company and shippers are expected.
