About　three-fourth　of　global　flow　of　cargo　is　currently　transported　through　shipping.　The　boom　of　international　trade,　which　mainly　depends　on　marine　transportation,　in　past　years　has　shipping　industry　become　the　economic　focus　in　coastal　countries.　Along　with　the　economic　development　and　increasing　global　trade,　the　increasing　number　of　ships　and　large-scale　ships,　accidents　at　sea　are　not　eliminated　with　improving　marine　technology.　It　is　therefore　important　for　shipping　industry,　through　management,　establishing　safety　management　mechanism　conforming　to　regulations　and　suitable　for　ships　to　reduce　operational　risks　and　further　eliminate　accidents　caused　by　personal　factors　in　order　to　create　business　performance　of　enterprises.　Shipping　industry　is　the　research　object　in　this　study.　Supervisors　and　employees　of　Fujian　Shipping　Company　are　sampled　for　the　questionnaire　survey.　Total　300　copies　of　questionnaire　are　distributed,　and　256　valid　copies　are　retrieved,　with　the　retrieval　rate　85%.　The　research　results　are　concluded　as　followings.　(1)　From　the　survey,　organizational　planning　was　mostly　emphasized　in　safety　management　in　shipping　industry.　(2)　From　the　overall　weights　of　evaluation　indicators,　tope　five　indicators,　among　17　evaluation　indicators,　are　competent　personnel,　censorship,　regulation　compliance,　sound　system,　and　administrative　support.　Suggestions　are　proposed　according　to　the　results,　expecting　to　analyze　the　critical　factors　in　the　establishment　of　safety　management　systems　in　shipping　industry.　Proper　strategic　suggestions　are　also　proposed　to　solve　the　problems　encountered　in　safety　management　systems　to　enhance　the　effectiveness　of　safety　management.
