Encouraged by government, the Shipping Industry has grown very fast, hence the foundation of domestic Shipping Industry also established. However, the blooming economy of Mainland China in recent years has threatened Taiwan shipping industry. Secondly, because the worldwide shipping companies have estimated economic cycle optimistically since 2002, they competed for building new ships. That results in the capacity of global logistics increasing rapidly and fierce price competition among shipping companies. Furthermore, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) including Mainland China, Japan and Korea will establish a Free Trade Area officially in 2010, forming an alliance “New Asia”, the largest potential market in the world. The direct cross-strait charter flights will not only bring new opportunities, but also bring uncertain risks.
