Abstract
The shipowner"s status is a legally and practically important factor in the Seafarers Act because it is the party responsible for hiring and aboard the seafarers and carrying out various protective measures relating to the seafarers. In this paper, I would like analyze and review the legal status of ship owners and seafarers management companies by the Korean Maritime law and review the meaning of the ship owners and the obligations that seafarers recruitment and placement service agencies should provide under the Maritime Labor Convention compares with domestic legislation. Based on the results of the analysis, I would like suggest directions for the establishment of the system, contributing to the development of a sound corporate culture formation and shipping industry as well as the protection of the seafarers’ labour.
