지역 컨테이너항만 발전 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

There has been a great concern on the development of container ports in excess of demand in Korea. The main point so far on the debate has been so-called 'Two-port System' which is to boost both Busan Port and Kwangyang Port as hub ports in the Northeast Asia. The far legging volume of container traffic and the resulting under utilisation of container terminal facilities in Kwangyang Port seems to lessen the debate. In other aspect, however, local ports raises a similar problem as many container ports have been opened. This study, therefore, aims at analysing local container ports, Ulsan and Phohwang and providing some directions for the boosting of local ports.
