博士 / 銘傳大學 / 管理科學研究所博士班 / 93 / Taiwan is an island nation so shipping industry development is very important. How to efficiently utilize ocean manpower resources becomes a valuable subject to our nation’s future economic development and shipping industry growth. This research is mainly based on Markov Theory and Grey Theory to construct demand and supply models of manpower of seafarers. Furthermore, this research uses the latest statistics from UNCTAD, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the Ministry of Examination, the Master Association and Chinese Seamen’s Union in Taiwan to analyze and verify demand and supply models of manpower of deck officers and engineering officers, respectively. The most important outcomes of this research are listed below:

1. Construct a demand and supply model of Taiwan seafarers and to forecast their total demand and supply. The supply of seafarers is in shortage every year and the imbalance grows year after year. The gap between seafarer demand and supply forecasted from years 2005 to 2007 are 2,905, 3,038 and 3,134, respectively.

2. The promotion rates of chief officer, ship officer, first engineer and second engineer are 13.45%, 23.29%, 12.50% and 19.61%, respectively. The average length of service of master, chief officer and ship officer on board are 11 years 4.67 months, 4 years 3 months and 2 years 4.26 months, respectively. The average on board length of service for chief engineer, first engineer and second engineer, correspondingly, are 13 years 1.07 months, 4 years 7.58 months and 1 year 7.12 months.
