The partnerships in maritime industry are being made in many different forms. The business relationship between CY operating companies and liners, includes a variety of logistics services. All container cargos must pass through CY and it is nearly impossible to manage the containers by CY operators only. Actually, most liners have been outsourcing an administration of their containers in the inland, by contracting with CY operating companies. The purpose of this study is to help understanding the relationship between CY operating companies and liners, and suggesting implications that affect the involved companies and maritime industry through the various phenomena derived from the relationship. To ensure this study, we reformulated the arranged variables from the precedent studies through the interview of seniors in the field. The results of study are listed below:
First, in case the CY operating companies have been unfairly treated by the liners, treatment has an influence on opportunism of CY operating companies. And the business capability, alliance capability and competition among companies in the same line of business have been negatively affected by the opportunism. Second, the relative dependency and uncertainty of market have an influence on a long term orientation. The business capability, alliance capability and competition among companies in the same line of business have been positively affected by the long term orientation. Third, the competition among CY operating companies has an influence on strategies and the long term orientation of the partner companies.
