Owing to a violent competition, the flag of convenience （FOC） ship become the operation strategy in shipping company in the international shipping market. FOC has already become the main stream in shipping, which is also one of the important ways to increase the shipping company competition ability. The FOC develops quickly in the international marine transportation, it brought many operational conveniences and the advantage on the economy for the FOC ship owner; however, the FOC bring some problems, ie, the control of FOC ships, the economy influence of our country and ships security control etc. The study utilized the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory （DEMATEL） and Fuzzy Structural Modeling （FSM） to analyze the key influence factors of ship register and construct a cognition map of these factors. The result of the study found the main influence factors of ship owner flagging out in Taiwan including “Hiring Foreign Seafarers”, “Crew Cost” and “Crew Quality Limit”. This result reminds the related operator-authorities should pay more attention to the interrelation of each factor. Besides, DEMATEL method and FSM method should be combined when setting up related strategies in future research.
