Abstract
It is essential and right time reform the maritime and port system in Taiwan to enhance its operating efficiency and international competitiveness. Since the former harbor bureau’s functions had many issues under the vague system of public administration and enterprise operation; they were not only the local maritime administrator but the port businessmen; and moreover, the 10 largest ports in the advanced countries have already adopted the separation of public administration from enterprise operation for globalization. In 1996, to promote economy development, the government made some plans to construct Taiwan to be an Asia-Pacific Reginal Operations Center to begin the maritime and port reform. Then the reform successively went through some unsatisfied changes: privatization, city-port unification, public corporation, and corporatization. They were not successful due to the conflicts between the people, the politicians, and the enterprises involved. Soon afterward, in view of the successful cases of Taoyuan International Air Station and some foreign corporations, the separation of public administration from enterprise operation was established on March 1, 2012. Examining the new system, it still has a number of things to be improved, such as the limited external investment for the nationalized ports corporation, the role playing, the enterprise mission and developing strategies, the personnel deployment, and the departmental functions and duties. Therefore some proposals are made here as follows: 1.The developing strategy for operating the shipping industry with high professionalism, high efficiency, and high competitiveness should become the core creed of every staff member in both bodies of government and enterprise. 2.Both bodies of government and enterprise should be active in training and developing high quality international rofessionals. 3.The functions and duties of both bodies of government and enterprise should be located clearly and definitely. 4.To increase foreign markets and people’s profit should be the developing strategy of Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC). 5.The branches of TIPC should be delegated more functions to increase their operation efficiency and benefit. 6.The organization and functions of the Maritime and port Bureau could be improved better.
