    abstract = {The main objective of this research is to design and introduce the organizational agility model of
marine transportation of Iran in order to heighten the market share and marine transportation industry position
of Iran. The basic framework and also the needs and requirements of marine transportation industry business
of Iran were designed with the study and use of former agility theories and models. In this context, seventeen
structural agility variables were identified and classified as four main components: the agility of human
resources agility of technology, agility of organizational factors and finally marine transport chain agility
components. Based on this, there are seventeen hypotheses designed for the evaluation test of the studied
industry. In this study, questionnaire was used for the needed and requirement data and the statistical
population was considered to be the experts and managers of marine transportation industry organizations of
Iran. The amount of the sample was estimated based on the ideas of the structural equation analysis scholars
for each seventeen test variables which is 255 totally. The factor-confirmatory analysis method was used to test
the hypotheses and well-being of model evaluation. The results of the analysis indicate that the seventeen
identified variables have a good correlation with the four main factors and eventually with the marine shipping
industry agility of Iran. Although, structure agility and strategy were a top priority, other factors are also at a
