Competition and stabilization policies of the overseas liner shipping market: Between continuation and abolition of the anti-trust law exemption for shipping conferences and route stabilization agreements

鉴于2008年取消了面向欧盟的航运公会，我们讨论了航运公会、航线稳定协议和包括全球联盟在内的财团的海外班轮运输市场政策。到目前为止，还没有发现供应不稳定和过度竞争的显著影响，但这并不能消除其他一些辅助因素带来的中长期潜在影响。主要航线市场将在很大程度上受到欧美双重政策标准的控制，这是由政策制定机构和环境的差异造成的。

In view of the historical 2008 abolition of EU-oriented shipping conferences, we discussed the overseas liner shipping market policies for shipping conferences, route stabilization agreements, and consortia including global alliances. No notable influences of supply instability nor excessive competition so far were not found, but it does not eliminate such medium or long-term potential influences brought by some other co-factors. The main route markets will be largely controlled by the EU-US double policy standards, which stem from the differences in policy making institutions and environments.
