Abstract

According to a Mayan belief, in order to relax
and strengthen the spirit after a certain period of rapid living, it is
necessary to occasionally think about, analyze and evaluate the past. This was
believed to be beneficial both for the rest of the soul and for the development
of the mind. In order to understand and evaluate the maritime sector better and
to be able to make strategic decisions for the future, we have to get rid of the
effects of actual happenings in maritime markets and calmly evaluate the events
from a wide perspective.

In this study, we will try to address the recent
economic developments in the industry and find out the implications of these
developments in the global maritime market and shipbuilding industry and their
reflections on Turkey. Moreover, we will examine in particular shipbuilding, container,
tanker and bulk markets on a global basis in the light of current data and
finally we will refer to some precautions that can be taken in Turkey.
