试论航运低谷时期我国外派船员的核心竞争力

美国次贷危机引发的全球金融风暴正在向实体经济加速传导,航运业也受到严重影响,滑入了低谷,这对于我国船员来说既是挑战又是机遇。文中针对当前形势,分析了我国航海专业毕业生的现状及未来供求状况,结合目前国际航运市场状况及对全球船员供求关系的影响,指出航运低谷时船员要想提高就业竞争力,就必须提高自身的英语技能、职业道德、服从意识和团队精神及管理能力等诸方面的综合素养.     

中国籍非国际航行船舶安全检查选船机制

长期以来,中国籍非国际航行船舶的安全检查没有系统的选船机制。为了填补这一项空白,提高上海港以及我国的船舶监督管理水平,文中研究了我国非国际航行船舶安全检查的选船因素,并建立评价指标体系,同时引入模糊综合评价的方法。建立我国非国际航行船舶安全检查的选船机制。最后,还将选船的数学模型转化为简单易用的选船软件,为日常的安检工作提供了有力支持。     

金融危机时期上海海事促进航运发展的思考

金融危机来势汹汹,作为与航运业息息相关的海事部门,如何深入实践科学发展观,帮助航运单位度过这场危机,有许多值得我们思考的问题。文中从对科学发展观基本内涵的认识逐步深入,运用科学发展观的世界观和方法论,分析了金融危机对上海航运经济发展可能带来的影响,提出了着力解决金融危机时期影响经济的突出问题,以及上海海事促进航运可持续发展的一些思考。

How do the new shipping routes affect Asian liquefied natural gas markets and economy? Case of the Northern Sea Route and Panama Canal expansion

This study focuses on the expected impact of Northern Sea Route (NSR) usage and the Panama Canal (PC) expansion on liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports of Asian countries, from not only the macroeconomic viewpoint but also diversification of the supplying countries. First, the amounts saved from shipping costs due to these events are estimated, based on scenarios on the navigable period of the NSR, transit fee of the NSR considering the exchange rate between the Russian ruble and US dollar, and bunker fuel price. Second, a spatial general equilibrium model based on macroeconomic theory is applied to predict changes in LNG trade patterns and measure economic impacts due to the reduction of shipping costs. Finally, the impacts of NSR usage as well as the PC expansion on LNG imports of Asian countries are discussed based on the calculations. The results show that diversification of supplying countries for LNG imports can be observed, especially in Japan, the largest LNG importer in the world, and other Asian countries are secondarily affected by changes in Japan’s import pattern, with limited impacts on these countries’ national economies.     

Examining the theoretical–empirical inconsistency on stationarity of shipping freight rate

As market price, shipping freight rates should in theory be stationary, but most empirical tests have found them to be non-stationary. To examine the causes of this theoretical–empirical inconsistency, we investigate the sensitivities of the stationarity of shipping freight rates from two perspectives: sample length and sample window. Longer samples are found not sufficient to make them stationary. Instead, sample windows separated by structural breaks are tested as stationary. Moreover, freight rates are found to have entered into a new phase since the 2008 financial crisis. This study contributes to the literature on the stationarity of shipping freight rates by providing an explanation for the theoretical–empirical inconsistency.
