博士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 105 / International bulk shipping industry really belongs to a perfectly competitive market. At the current stage, due to the pernicious influence of the continued recession state of the world economy, the global shipping market is taking a downturn, and this influence has also spread to the international bulk shipping market. According to the latest data collected from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics, and Clarkson Research Services, we find that the excess capacity supply of international bulk ships appears in the global bulk shipping market. The current situation, which also puts pressure on the bulk transportation industry in Taiwan, leads to the freight market of international bulk shipping industry continues to be slump. In order to help the bulk transportation operators to overcome the pressure in the global competitive market at the present stage, and provide an aid to evaluate their operating performance to effectively control their transportation cost. We further hopes to explore the potential waste of resources. Therefore, the two main purposes of this study can be described as the following:
(1)Construct a suitable performance evaluation model, and evaluate theperformance on bulk shipping industry in Taiwan. According to the evaluation results, this study provides the appropriate optimum improvement analysis for each inefficient listed company.
(2) In order to control the transportation cost, this study takes the performance evaluation on coal transportation which is one business category of bulk shipping industry in Taiwan for example. Further, this study explores the appropriate optimum improvement on the aspects of input and output resources based upon the evaluation results.
Simultaneously, our research data set is collected from the market observation system of Taiwan stock exchange and the operating data of one famous bulk coal carrier company in Taiwan. Based on a new additive super-efficiency model proposed by Guo et al. (2016), this study evaluates the operating performances of the listed companies of bulk shipping industry in Taiwan. Further, seven main international bulk coal transportation routes, depart from Taiwan to Australia or Indonesia, are evaluated by the new additive super-efficiency model. Then, the research results can be presented as following:
(1) In 2015, Sincere Navigation Corporation (SNC) and Wisdom Marine Group are efficient under the evaluation based upon the selected varibales. For most of the listed companies of bulk shipping industry in Taiwan, it’s urgent to control the investment resources on the aspect of the operating expenses.
(2) At the current stage, the bulk coal transportation route between Taiwan and the Samarinda port in Indonesia has the most efficient and satisfactory performance. It could be viewed as a benchmarking transportation route. Further, if the coal quality or other factors need to be taken into account to determine that the destination port must belong to Australia, the bulk coal transportation route between Taiwan and the Newcastle port in Australia could be the highest priority option.
(3) For the overall operating performance of Taiwan’s main bulk coal transportation routes, it’s urgent to reduce the investment resource of harbor charges. However, this investment item is controlled by non-commercial authorities. In terms of Australia's transportation routes, the cost of materials during the transportation need to be more effectively controlled. Meanwhile, for the transportation routes of Indonesia, the waiting time spent in outer harbor has become a major obstacle to improve the operating performance.
