From the Paper:
''National governments naturally have a stake in ensuring that their national shipping industries are effective and competitive against those of other countries. In countries where shipping acts as a particularly large industry then there are obvious benefits both in terms of economic output and employment (Laydman; 2005) Some countries such as China have shipping industries which are subject to various directional efforts on the part of the state. Others such as Britain are free from direct state direction however government investment is often an essential component for effective market competition (Ladyman; 2005).''Multinational political organisations also figure highly in the shipping industry. For example, various roles and responsibilities for ensuring effective and safe shipping techniques in Europe are now undertaken by the European Union and not member states (PTI [2]; 2008).
Furthermore, given the global nature of the shipping industry, the United Nations has taken an active role in formulating rules and guidelines with which to organise the global shipping industry. For example, the United Nations International Maritime Organisation often works in close collaboration with the international shipping industry on issues pertaining to environmental factors and carbon emissions (Bergesen; 1999).''
