A firm's position on its competitive priorities is determined by its four long-term structural decisions: facility, capacity, technology and vertical integration. However, maritime sector is quite different. Maritime transportation is the oldest economic mode of transportation and is still a viable part of the total transportation system. Competition among shipping carriers is limited as long as there are sufficient commodities to transport by using this method. The maritime transportation competes with many diverse economic factors such as commodity rates, petroleum prices and existing of other transportation types such as railroads and pipelines. In this study, qualitative methodology has been used and latest condition of shipping market including bulk, container and tanker segments has been descriptively reviewed within combination of different market reports and ship owners/managers' comments. Traders need a transportation service by chartering a vessel while performing the carriage step. This paper is aimed to reflect how shipper's and receiver's conduct decision-making process of chartering a vessel as per specifications of the vessels such as type, tonnage, flag, gearing condition, seaworthiness status and fuel consumption. Competition in maritime transport cannot be only described with supply and demand of shipping market, particularly the diverse fleets of different owners will become more important as the technologic developments increase. Evaluating the volatility of current shipping market will provide a new perspective to ship owners, managers and operators so that they can survive by changing the traditional mentality to trade benefit conjecture.

In maritime trade, ports are placed at the most strategic and significant points of logistics where being opened to international transactions. Liner Ship Connectivity Index (LSCI) has been generated by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in order to increase contribution of countries into international trade by developing ports' effectiveness either or to measure the connectivity of countries' ports to global maritime logistics activities where keep significant role on international trade. In this study, simple regression analysis has been used between LSCI and total merchant fleet capacities of 127 countries in order to estimate tendency of ship investment participation into port investment and development. It is aimed by this research to indicate new strategies for development of emerging countries between maritime advanced countries within an analysis based on economic structure and maritime trade activities. This study reveals a one-way model to develop own economy in the scope that seaborne trade activity is one of the easiest path to survive against market's uncertainty. Increasing of cargo handling capacities in current ports and more strategic investments on port development will be a bridge to provide countries' competitive advantage in global trade market. In near future, improvement of logistic networks and researches on maritime and port development will pave way to " Must " instead of " Should " in order to maintain developments in maritime sector and economic stabilization of own country. Global success will become possible with only a global thought strategy.
