Abstract
The major factors that threaten port operation are diversie. Coronavirus disease-19, (COVID-19), which has recently disrupted operations worldwide, is one of them. Port operation was completely stopped due to a confirmed coronavirus involving a Russian sailor in Gamcheon Port, Busan, Korea in 2020, resulting port closure due to the infectious disease outbreak. The port is a national infrastructure facility that controls most of Korea's import and export logistics, and it is absolutely necessary to secure resilience against threats such as infectious diseases. However, due to insufficient data, this study was undertaken to determine a cause-effect relationship of infectious diseases during the container port operation using system dynamics. In addition, the port's resilience against infectious diseases was measured in terms of productivity and cargo volume through simulation. The model built via simulation analysis can actually be used to measure the resilience of a port. In the event of an infectious disease outbreak at a port, a quarantine policy scenario can be implemented and the effect compared, thereby improving the resilience.
