Abstract

In Korea a crew employment right is only allowed to shipowners and cooperative business between ship management and crew management company is not allowed. It is anticipated that overseas ship management companies' entry into Korean ship management markets will weaken Korean ship management companies' competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to amend crew management regulation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation of Korean ship management industry and to suggest the scheme for strengthening its competitiveness. The result of this study will contribute to the growth of the Korean ship management industry and enhance their business scope internationally.
