Purpose : This study aimed to examine, the majaor measures for developing the direction and competitiveness of the Korean shipping industry from the perspective of restructuring. Research design, data, methodology : The literature from all institutions related to the focus of this paper, apart from various foreign academic journals and books, was reviewed to identify a suitable research method on the restructuring of shipping companies to derive major implications after analyzing the current status of restructuring. Results : Liner shipping companies were found to be much more competitive than tramper ones. The global trend in the liner shipping industry must first have a global network, second, a competitive edge in terms of cost, and third, good service quality without which they e cannot survive in the world market. Global liner carriers also join the Alliance because it is difficult to operate on their own. From the restructuring cases that we examined, it was clear that it would not be easy to divide ownership and operation in a dichotomy, however, this is an essential factor. Conclusions : First, the pending issues and measures should ease the interest burden on shipping companies. Second, the government should suspend repayment of the principal of the shipping company and push for the conversion of its equity investment. Third, it should be possible to repay the principal of domestic shipping companies. Fourth, a win-win structure for shipping and shipbuilding should be established.
