부산 신항 2-3단계 자동화 컨테이너터미널 도입계획 분석을 통한 항만 경쟁력 향상 방안

Abstract

It is expected that Introduction and operation of Automated Container Terminals will be increased according to requiring low-cost and high-performance container terminals. This trends are affected from increasing global container handling volumes and scale-up of container vessels.

Also we are expecting to increase Automated Container Terminals in Korean container ports as well as Worldwide container ports, and first of them are under construction in Busan New Port(Phase 2-3).

The first Automated Container Terminal for Busan port is scheduled to start operation from 2012, and construction for infrastructure and port facilities are in progress.

BNCT(Busan New port Container Terminal Co., Ltd.) who is the operating company for Busan New port Phase 2-3, have executed planning and analysis to introduce Automated Container Terminal in Busan New port. The analysis is focused for Competitiveness, Efficiency and Profitability for introducing Automated Container Terminal.

The major subject of this Study is to analyze as different angle to the Introduction Plans for Automated Container Terminal which is reported by BNCT.

In this study, the analysis for Introduction Plan is executed as wide angle, such as the point of view by Terminal user or Shipping lines as well as Terminal operators.

The purpose of this study is to represent efficient solution for introduction Automated Container Terminal in Korean container ports by analysis through business case.

This study includes theoretical background, the needs of Automated Container Terminals, the comparison between Conventional Container Terminals and Automated Container Terminals, and the consideration factors and operation targets for Automated Container Terminals.

Also the study is carried out to survey operating cases about Automated Container Terminals in Worldwide container ports and introduction plans for Korean container ports.

The results of this study is as follows

Introduction and operation for Automated Container Terminal is needed more circumspect consideration and analysis as point of view by Terminal users or Shipping lines as well as Terminal operators.

Also, it is needed to more obvious verification for technologies, operating systems and information technology.

It is attractive to operate Automated Container Terminal for Terminal operators or Investors, because it has profitabilities and competitiveness by saving operational costs and labor costs.

It is not attractive to operate Automated Container Terminal for Terminal users or Shipping lines, because it is not expecting significant improvement for productivity.

It may expect several beneficial effects, such as prior occupation for new technology and accumulation for operation know-how.

It may expect several potential problems, such as precariousness for stable operation, trials and errors in starting period, lack of certainty for efficiency in Korean container ports, and incomplete verification for operating systems and IT.

The conclusion of this study is as follows
