EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Background BEPA - the Busan Economic Promotion Agency – has a mandate to develop Busan, already a major port city in South Korea, into a maritime finance cluster. BEPA asked Z/Yen to conduct some research to help guide their strategy to develop a maritime finance cluster. This brief report examines the features of maritime finance clusters, the factors that promote their existence, the importance of a maritime finance cluster to Busan, the strengths and weaknesses of Busan as a host for a maritime finance cluster and measures that Busan might adopt to encourage the development of a cluster. 1.2 Methodology Our research findings are based on extensive desk research, the use of Global Financial Centres Index1 data, twelve structured interviews with maritime finance professionals and some less formal discussions with experts in the field. Details of the interviews can be found in the Appendix. 1.3 Main Findings We define a maritime finance cluster as ‘a geographical grouping of organisations specialising in the financing and management of seagoing activities.’ The activities within a maritime finance cluster include: 1 http://www.longfinance.net/programmes/financial-centre-futures/fcf-gfci.html 3 Maritime Finance Clusters Features of maritime finance clusters include: maritime finance clusters are often but not always located near a major port; successful maritime finance clusters tend to be successful at attracting ship owners or those who exert commercial control of ships; the main established maritime finance centres have subsidiaries or branch offices of the world’s major global banks present; some of the most successful maritime finance clusters have become successful by offering advantageous tax environments to certain sectors; top maritime finance clusters generally have a strong representation of firms in the professional services sector – law firms, accountants, brokers, advisers; the presence of a ship building industry is not a pre-requisite of a maritime finance cluster but is often present in these clusters; top maritime finance clusters often have strong educational and training organisations; top maritime finance clusters often have the same attributes as successful financial centres: Clusters bring well recognised benefits and these benefits are why developing a maritime finance cluster is important to Busan. The main benefits can be summarised: clusters increase the productivity of the companies in the cluster, by driving innovation in the field, and by stimulating new businesses; significantly more innovation takes place in communities which have stronger inter- personal networks; clusters usually reduce costs; clusters increase the pool of relevantly skilled labour; clusters generate trust. Busan’s performance in the key factors of successful maritime finance clusters are summarised below: 4 Maritime Finance Clusters Factors often Present in Busan’s Performance in these Factors Successful Maritime Finance Clusters A broad range of maritime A strong and broad mix of activities is present activities and a need for people that understand the industry Proximity to a large port (although The existing port facilities and size are a great not a pre-requisite) strength of Busan Success in attracting ship owners or Very limited number of ship owners at those who exert commercial control present, hence the cluster has no reason to of ships (the support functions of develop in Busan maritime finance follow the business – i.e. the ship owners) A good representation of the large Limited at present – most big banks are global banks represented in Seoul A strong representation of service Korea has a very limited number of domestic firms - law firms, accountants, professional service firms and few brokers, advisers international ones are present in Busan A presence of a ship building There is ship building and maintenance industry (although not a pre- capability in Busan requisite) Financial centre attributes – Busan has a generally strong business business environment, environment and strong infrastructure. It infrastructure, human capital and rates less well for reputation and financial reputation sector development Strong training and educational Limited at present facilities Based on the research conducted, we believe that the following seven objectives should be prioritised by Busan’s policy makers: increase the number of ship owners based in Busan; increase the number of global banks with representation in Busan; increase the number of international professional service providers working in Busan; develop business environment attributes; develop human capital; develop Busan as an outward looking and connected city; develop the Busan city brand. Other maritime clusters have gone to great lengths to attract ship owners and Busan is advised to do the same. Currently Seoul is a major location of ship owners and yet Busan is 5 Maritime Finance Clusters a much bigger port. There are a number of strategies that have been pursued by other clusters to attract ship owners. Many of these have relied on offering short to medium cost reductions. Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo have all invested significantly in tax incentives or other cost facilitators to attract ship owners. Ship owners are fairly flexible about their locations and will tend to operate from places that offer reasonable costs, are easy places in which to do business and offer a good quality of life. Large international banks are becoming increasingly involved in maritime finance. They generally have an established presence in the large maritime centres such as London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. The vast majority of these banks also have a presence in Seoul. If Busan is to host a maritime finance cluster it should try to find a way of getting these institutions to have a representation in Busan. A good approach might be to contact the banks with subsidiaries or branches in Seoul and offer them an incentive to open an office in Busan for their maritime division or their maritime specialists. If owners and banks can be persuaded to have a presence in Busan then specialist marine service providers will want to follow the clients and have a presence in Busan. These service providers are often part of large international law firms and accounting practices. They may already have offices in Seoul and may be attracted to having a presence in Busan in the same way as the banks. Busan should try to engender an institutional framework as transparent and efficient as possible. If Busan wants to host a maritime finance cluster then it needs to position itself as an international financial centre and a great place in which to do business. Effective and transparent institutions are a necessity in a modern business cluster. Improvements in the city and country institutions to speed up decision making could also be a positive step towards enhancing Busan’s reputation as a business centre. There are certainly other areas in which Busan could claim thought leadership by holding conferences, workshop programmes, sponsoring publications

  • It's Not You, It's Me? an Inquiry Into the Problems of Philippine-Korean
    It’s Not You, It’s Me? An Inquiry into the Problems of Philippine-Korean Cooperation for Metro Manila’s Rail-based Mass Transit Systems Miguel Paolo P. Reyes University Research Associate Third World Studies Center College of Social Sciences and Philosophy University of the Philippines Diliman Email address: [email protected] Abstract Japan, Belgium, and the Czech Republic are the countries typically associated with rail-based mass transit systems in Metro Manila. Recently, South Korea has joined their ranks. However, at least in the Philippines, South Korean involvement in Metro Manila's Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT) systems has received bad press. Hyundai Adtranz provided the first air-conditioned rolling stock for LRT line 1 in 1999; of the twenty-eight cars that were delivered, only eight remain in service. Manila-based Busan Universal Rail, Inc., which, until recently, held the maintenance contract for the MRT with the Busan Transportation Corporation of Korea, was often blamed for the MRT's frequent breakdowns of late. South Korea's involvement in the rehabilitation of the Philippine National Railways (PNR), particularly the Metro Manila South Commuter Line, has seemingly yielded little fruit; even after purchasing Korean rolling stock (diesel multiple units) as well as granting loans for rehabilitation purposes via the Korean Exim Bank, the PNR remains moribund. This paper asks, "Why have Korean companies seemingly failed to transfer their knowledge or experience of providing for or operating and maintaining some of the world's best urban rail-based mass transit systems to Manila?" An answer thereto is attempted via constructing a historical narrative based on primary sources (e.g., published first-hand accounts, data from the Light Rail Transit Authority and PNR) and secondary sources (e.g., opinion pieces in newspapers).

  • Busan, Republic of Korea
    OECD/IMHE project Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Self-Evaluation Report: Busan, Republic of Korea Jang-soo Ryu, Sung-joon Paik, Dae-shik Lee, Hyun-joong Jun, Eui-soo Cho and Jong-han Kim January 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This self-evaluation report has been created with the help and support of regional partners such as universities in the Busan region, the central government, the regional government, and businesses. There are a total of six authors to this report including a regional co-ordinator and their expertise cover a wide range of fields including economics, education, and sociology. This report would not have been possible without the active help from our regional partners. In preparing the questionnaire the authors referred to many materials, including past OECD reports, and at the same time reflected Busan’s regional characteristics. Questionnaires were distributed to twelve universities in the Busan region to research and analyze each university’s role in regional development. Representatives from all twelve universities participated in the questionnaire review meeting and gave outstanding opinions, and the researchers actively reflected those opinions in creating the final questionnaire. Everybody from the Busan region universities gave sincere answers to the question and provided much data. After creating the self-evaluation report, the authors collected opinions from the regional steering committee, and the regional steering committee authorized the report as Busan’s self-evaluation report. The Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MOE) and Busan Metropolitan City gave unreserved support in creating this report. Not only did the MOE judge this project as a means to accurately identify university’s roles for regional development so far, but had plans to promote similar researches in other regions, based on this report.

  • 24 the Evolution of Labour Relations in the South Korean Shipbuilding Industry
    24 The evolution of labour relations in the South Korean shipbuilding industry A case study of Hanjin Heavy Industries, 1950-2014 Wonchul Shin Introduction The latter half of the twentieth century witnessed rapid changes in the leadership of the global shipbuilding industry. South Korean shipbuilders entered the world shipbuilding market in the early 1970s and within two decades, almost from a standing start, its shipbuilding industry became the world’s second-largest producer of ships, after Japan.1 Along with the rapid expansion of the industry under the military dictatorships of Park Chung-hee (1961-1979) and Chun Doo-hwan (1980-1987), a workers’ move- ment emerged, albeit slowly. Shipbuilding workers took the lead in the 1987 “Great Workers’ Struggles”, which followed the “June Struggle” for democratisation in South Korea. They succeeded in organising themselves into labour unions, and achieved impressive advancements in wages and working conditions. However, as directly hired regular workers in the major shipyards, they formed a distinct group from increasingly used sub-contract workers, and latterly from migrant workers.2 1 For the evolution of the South Korean shipbuilding industry, see Amsden, Asia’s Next Giant; Amsden concentrates on the growth of Hyundai Heavy Industries. See also Jonsson, Shipbuilding in South Korea; Jonsson compares the South Korean experience with developments in Japan, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. A more recent treatment is Bruno and Tenold, “The Basis for South Korea’s Ascent in the Shipbuilding Industry”. Bruno and Tenold argue that the post-OPEC shipping crisis, which led to a dramatic decline in demand for new tonnage from the mid-1970s onwards, may have boosted the ascendancy of South Korean shipyards.

A flat global economy, a financial sector in crisis and rock-bottom freight rates have led to much change in the maritime sector. Uncertainty has touched every aspect of shipping including the shipyards. For many years, Korean shipyards have enjoyed a dominant and market leading position but now they must recognize challenges from other nations as well as a reorganization of the dynamics of the entire ship- building sector. The yards in Korea have responded with greater innovation, enhanced technology and more efficient production processes to maintain their market leading position. Leveraging their expertise and strong customer partnerships, Korean shipyards continue to satisfy customers across the world. This booklet is a guide to the “active”Korean shipyards. It provides useful information about each facility to help you make an informed choice. It contains details ranging from dry dock specifications to general management status allowing you to gain a comprehensive overview of Korea’s shipyards at a glance.

  • Building Ships While Breaking Apart Container Economies and the Limits of Chaebol Capitalism
    Building ships while breaking apart Container economies and the limits of chaebol capitalism Elisabeth Schober Abstract: With the center of gravity of the maritime industry over recent decades progressively moving eastwards, South Korea is today a giant in both shipping and shipbuilding. Its largely family-controlled industrial enterprises are nowadays increasingly engaged in risky business experiments abroad, which on occasion fail in a spectacular manner. By following the story of how one family-run economic actor invested unsuccessfully in the Philippines, I combine an exploration of the political-economic factors involved in this failure with an investigation of how these larger structures are entangled with a complex family story inside a Korean conglomerate. Th e forced separation between family and business that ensued in this case illuminates changing and competing ideals of “waterborne” capitalism in the twenty-fi rst century. Keywords: chaebol, container ships, family business, shipbuilding, South Korea Th e center of gravity of the maritime industry of the Hanjin conglomerate founded by the Cho has progressively moved eastward over recent family, in the 2000s invested in the construction decades.
