본 연구는 기존의 서비스품질모형에 관한 연구들을 고찰하여 Grönroos의 2차원 모형에 기반을 두고 항만서비스의 과정품질을 환 경품질과 전달품질의 2요인 구조로 분화시키고 거기에 결과품질요소를 추가한 서비스품질 모형의 기본적인 프레임을 구성하였다. 또한 서비 스 품질 각 요소들의 하위 변수들은 항만서비스의 특성 및 변화하는 항만패러다임을 반영한 최신의 실증연구를 바탕으로 서비스 품질 측정에 적합할 뿐 만 아니라 변화하는 항만산업의 특성을 고려한 서비스 품질 측정 요인들을 종합하여 최종적인 서비스품질 모형을 도출하였다. 이 에 따라 도출된 서비스 품질모형의 각 특성이 고객만족과 항만의 이미지에 미치는 영향과, 고객만족이 항만이미지에 미치는 영향 및 고객만 족과 항만이미지가 관계지속의도에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 부산항의 서비스를 이용하는 선사 및 물류업체, 포워더, 화주 등을 대상으 로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 가설검증을 위해서 Smart-PLS 3.0 프로그램이 활용되었다. 분석결과 서비스 품질차원의 각 요소들은 고객만족 에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 항만이미지에는 상품품질과 환경품질이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고객 만족도는 항만의 긍정적인 이미지를 구축하는데 영향을 미치며 고객만족도와 항만의 긍정적인 이미지는 관계지속의도에도 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The main purpose of this study is to design the port marketing strategies for strengthening the competitive power of container terminal. So far many attempts have been made to analyze the international competitiveness of the terminal. Six factors hypothesized by this study come from previous research analyses about customers preference for port selection. Those are Cost Centrality and Intermediacy Free trade port Inland transportation connections Political and Economic institution and Port facilities. this study analyzes the most important factors about hob port and transhipment port separately through questionnaire analysis about users(shipper shipping company and freight forwarder) influencing on port selection. The results of this study were found as follows:

The intensification of the competition among container terminals has led to important affect such as, decision making or aggressive intervention of customers for terminal operation. Therefore, in case of developed ports, the large transition of port operation is composed of the press of terminal customer than decision making of terminal manager. Overall port tariffs for using terminal is made out by the conference of terminal customers than the supreme headquarters of terminal operation, and the related investment of terminal has been made according to requisition or proposal of customers. Therefore, among decision making problems that shippers, shipping companies, and freight forwarder among decision making problems that shippers, shipping companies, and freight forwarder face, the choice of the container terminal is one of the most important problems. So, the decision making of the users seems to have a significant impact on the competitive power of container terminals. The main objective of this study is to design port marketing strategy for strengthening the competitive power of container terminals. The results of this study were found as follows: Firstly, port authority should establish user-oriented operation policy of terminal as the means of activating the opinion window, using terminal monitoring system(TMS). Secondly, terminal planning and development of government should be made to minimize the lead time, to induce the civil capital and to utilize the economies of scale. Thirdly, port authority needs to endeavor to analyze the information of competing foreign terminals as well to promote the concentrated marketing for the terminal on the users, to train the expert and to develop the new port charge system. Fourthly, to improve the competitive power of the container terminal, Port Authority should optimize the subsystems related to port marketing, far more these systems should be joined organically to work effectively. Finally, port authority system should be introduced, Namely, port should have the enterprise inclination as well s the public inclination.
