Acknowledgments
Quite obviously, without the contributions of the authors this book would
never have happened and so it is to them that many thanks must go. In
addition there has been considerable support from my co-editors -
Professor Tae-Woo Lee in Pusan, Dr Mingnan Shen in Dalian and Dr
Richard Gray in Plymouth. Many thanks to them as well. Marie Bendell at
the Institute of Marine Studies has provided her usual blend of
encouragement and discipline which has been essential to the task in hand.
In addition I am delighted to mention someone whom this last year has
proved to be the closest of friends, a delightful personality and as open and
warm as can be imagined - Lina Selkou - who has just spent an interesting
year in Rotterdam and now has escaped back to Athens. She has provided
more academic stimulus and social strength than I have ever met before
and her sense of humour is both infectious and unrivalled. Wherever her
next stopping point may be, I look forward to seeing her there one day.
And finally, as always, my family - Liz, Joe and Sian - deserve a
special mention for their patience particularly with respect to the continued
intrusion of football into their lives. Charlton Athletic, you all will be
pleased to hear, remain successful, at least for the moment.

1 Introduction
Michael Roe
Institute of Marine Studies
University of Plymouth, United Kingdom
This book emerged from a long-standing close collaboration between the
Institute of marine Studies, University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom
and Korea Maritime University in Pusan, Korea which was first established
in 1991 and since then has blossomed into a series of regular and frequent
exchange visits of staff, joint research projects and collaborative
publications. In addition to this, links between the two universities have led
to a series of visits by Korean government officials from the Ministries of
Transport and Maritime Affairs in Seoul along with an increasing number
from allied institutions in China and in particular Dalian Maritime
University.
This volume attempts to fill a yawning gap in the literature, which
centres on the development of the maritime sector in China - a highly
dynamic environment where the growth in the shipping and ports sectors
has been nothing short of remarkable in the last 30 years. The papers
presented here represent a cross-section of current views from experts in
China, Hong Kong, Korea and Plymouth about the Chinese shipping
industry and its links worldwide. Clearly the issues are too wide to be
comprehensively discussed in one volume but it is hoped that within the
text, there is sufficient discussion to give the reader a taste of the dynamism
that characterises the market at the beginning of the new millennium.
The opening paper by Sun presents a discussion of the development of
Chinese shipping policy and its wider impact and as such, provides a basis
for many of the papers that follow. Work at Dalian University has been
focussed on these issues for many years and this initial discussion provides
a detailed and authoritative statement from an expert central to maritime
policy-making in China.
This is followed by a more specific paper analysing the role of the sea-
going labour market in China and its importance in the past with a closer
look at its role as the industry develops. This is a particularly pertinent
discussion given the problems that the developed countries are facing in
