- Title
QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN COASTAL CONTAINER LINER SHIPPING FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF COST MANAGEMENT.
- Authors
Bukša, Juraj; Bukša, Tomislav
- Abstract
In order to improve quality and safety management in maritime transport the International Maritime Organization has brought in a large number of regulations and standards. Those rules and standards have lately become stricter in order to remove sub-standard vessels and shipping operators from the market. Application of the new regulations and standards regarding quality and safety management on board a vessel has incurred additional costs on shipping operators. Quality management costs are an increasingly important part of a shipping operator's business costs. For that reason the common division of vessel costs into fixed costs, commercial costs and fuelling costs should be added quality management costs. Thanks to such a division of costs shipping operators can have more efficient business cost management and more accurate business plans.
