The present study analyzed the railway transport characteristics of bulk cargo flowing in and out of trade ports in South Korea. Bulk cargo transport in freight stations located behind trade ports was examined using actual flow data, and new implications were drawn accordingly. The results showed that bulk cargo volume in freight stations located behind trade ports is gradually decreasing, and it is also failing to secure a competitive edge against road transport. This downfall can be mainly attributed to the decrease in competitiveness of railway transport as well as the emergence of new trade ports that do not have lead-in track for port. Therefore, greater effort is required to strengthen the connection between new trade ports and railway freight stations.

우리나라의 주요 무역항을 입${\cdot}$출항하는 선박의 증가, 대형화${\cdot}$고속화 및 새로운 항만의 건설 등은 해양교통 환경변화에 큰 변화를 가져오고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 항로에 설치된 등부표의 기능을 재검토하는 것이 요구되고 있다. 또한 이용자 중심의 서비스 향상 및 해상교통 안전 확보를 위한 대책 마련이 필요하다. 등부표는 안전항행을 도모하여 해양사고를 미연에 방지하는 역할을 수행 하지만 이의 배치와 관련한 연구가 미진하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 연구의 일환으로서 국내 주요 무역항만을 출입하는 선박의 동부표 이용자들을 대상으로 등부표 배치에 관련한 선호도를 설문조사하여 분석하였다.

This study mainly investigates the port SOC's impact on trade volume. In order to investigate the relationships between port SOC and trade volume, we did the empirical analysis using panel data regression and fixed effects model. The total period of 97 years and 1,082 ports' information were applied to panel data and regression model. According to the results, the coefficients of development of container berth, development of bulk berth, maintenance of port, the jetty facilities like breakwater have positive(+) impact on the dependent variable, the trade volume. Especially, the jetty facilities show a strongly positive impact on trade volume. On the other hand, the development of new port and navigation facilities like lighthouse have a negative(-) impact. In examining Hausman test and LR test, the fixed effect model is statistically more appropriate than the random effect model for this study.

1992년 '제1차 천국무역항 항만기본계획'이 수립된 이후 2001년 제2차 계획이 수립되었고 2010년 3차 계획 수립을 앞두고 있다. 또한 10년 단위의 기본계획과 함께 항만 환경 변화에 능동적으로 대응하기 위한 보완적인 계획으로서 5년 단위의 수정계획이 1999년 및 2006년에 수립되었다. 이러한 계획들은 우리나라 무역항 개발의 근거가 되기 때문에 국내의 환경 변화를 직시하고 미래를 예견하여 현실적인 내용을 담아야 한다. 그러나 그 동안 수립되었던 계획들을 물동량 예측과 항만개발 방향 설정에 있어서 현실과 큰 차이를 보여왔다. 따라서 본 논문은 제 1차 및 2차 전국무역항 항만기본계획 및 수정계획들을 검토하여 항만정책의 실효성을 평가하는 것을 주목적으로 한다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the new port development concepts in relation to the Mokpo port development. To analysis, we examine the relationship between the trade volumes which the port have and the capacities of the port facilities with 8 Korean seaport data. As a result of analysis, the trade volumes of port were found to be the major factors positively influencing the capacities of the port facilities in Korean ports. This findings shows that Mokpo port which trying to increase the trade volumes should have the new alternatives for Mokpo regional development. The new alternatives on the Mokpo Port's development are the model which constructing the Free Trade Zone(FTZ) and port city.

Due to the high importance of foreign trade in the national economy, Korea has a lot of ports designated as trade ports compared to the small land size. However, because of the poor utilization results, some small trade ports have been criticized for wasteful financing due to redundant investment in SOC. This is because the characteristics and comparative advantage of foreign trade in trade ports have not been analyzed in detail by region. Therefore, this study analyzes the patterns and types of change in the size of trade, number of cargo items handled, and the number of trade target countries in the past 20 years for 19 domestic small trade ports using the time-series cluster analysis technique. As a result of analysis, Korean small trade ports were classified into five growth pattern types according to the analysis index, and characteristics and implications for each type could be derived. Today, as the foreign trade environment changes drastically and the importance of balanced regional development is emphasized, it is very important to study the growth types and implications of small trade ports and the results of this study are expected to provide meaningful implications for regional port development and operation in the future.

This paper examines the effect of strategic trade policy on port ownership structures (nationalization or privatization) when two firms compete with each other in reciprocal markets. Furthermore, we analyze firms profits, port charges, ports profits and social welfare when ports are privatized or nationalized under tariff regime and under free trade regime respectively. Thus, we find that (i) under tariff regime, port nationalization is a dominant strategy regardless of transport costs. (ii) the effect of high port charges brings higher port profits than the effect of high trade volume. (iii) irrespective of trade regime, when transport cost is relatively low, port nationalization increases social welfare, while two government prefer free trade agreement to tariff regime when transport cost is sufficiently high regardless of port ownership structures.

Level II AFDA and Level III MCS reliability models are applied to analyze the stability of armor units on trading and coastal harbors in Korea. Hudson's formula and Van der Meer's formula are used in this reliability analysis. Also, probability density functions of reliability index and probability of failure are derived by the additional analysis. In addition, the partial safety factors of all harbors related to armor units can be straightforwardly evaluated by the inverse-reliability method. The upper and lower limits and average level of partial safety factors can be statistically investigated with the results of all cases applied in this paper. Therefore, it may be possible to design armor units of new breakwaters including the uncertainty of random variable and target level by using the present results.

Busan port has played a part as the main trade gateway in Korea for several decades. However, due to the rapid integration of China into the global economy and the grand changes in global trade structures, the trade gateway system in Korea and the status of Busan port have been transformed. Busan port's role as a trade gateway toward Japan and U.S. has increased during last two decades but, in cases of China, its importance has relatively decreased. Moreover, Busan port's competitiveness has been undermined in the most part of commodity trade. These phenomena reflect the high competition among trade ports which tend to increase the effectiveness of supply chains. Based on the geographical research tradition which has understood a port as a nexus between hinterland and foreland, this study focuses the changes in characteristics of trade freights and the status as a gateway of Busan port. This approach will contribute to the understandings of dynamics in the comtemporary international logistics.

Local management trade ports are small-sized trade ports, which require active operation to strengthen the local cities' economic power and enhance the local industries' added value. In addition, local management trade ports should berth ships larger than the existing ships to increase efficiency and keep up with the international trend where ships are becoming larger. Furthermore, they should also prepare operating standards. This study selected Okgye Port among local management trade ports. We performed a mooring safety simulation evaluation according to the scenario where a 50,000 DWT vessel is moored at the current 20,000 DWT class pier. The emergency departure criteria were 27kts at 3.2s of wave period and 22kts at 5.0s of wave period at the existing pier. Results showed that mooring limit condition increased by about 50% to 41kts at 3.2s of wave period and 36kts at 5.0s of wave period. This study can be used for strengthening mooring facilities and setting operational standards for safe port operation when large ships are berthing.
