To increase port productivity and efficiency and also to avoid disadvantages of public port management, a port authority system h1s been introduced worldwide. The Korea Port Authority Act was enacted in 2003 and Incheon Port Authority was established in July 2005. The objective of this paper is to develop a strategy of Incheon Port Authority using SWOT/AHP method Research findings show that possibilities of business expansion and growth as well as geographical advantages of Incheon Port are identified as its strength The opportunities of Incheon Port Authority are continuous increase of cargo handling volumes in the Yellow sea rim and expansion of Free Trade Zone. A government two-port policy and growing its dependence on China and rapid growth of more competitors in domestic and overseas are considered to be threat. Its weaknesses include superannuated Incheon port facilities and port hinterland shortages. Based on SWOT analysis combined with AHP method this paper suggests S/O strategy, W/O strategy, S/T strategy, and W/T strategy as a strategic development plan of Incheon Port Authority.

국내 항만공사는 항만공사법이 2003년 제정되고 부산항만공사가 2004년 설립된 이후 인천항만공사, 울산항만공사, 여수광양항만공사가 설립되어 운영되고 있다. 그러나 항만공사의 운영이 비효율적인 방향으로 흘러감에 따라 정부를 중심으로 공기업 통 폐합 등의 조직 개편 움직임의 목소리가 나오고 있다. 정부에서 구상하는 개편 방안 중 항만관리에 대해 통합적 운영이 적절한지, 분권적 운영이 바람직한지에 대해 보다 심층적인 논의가 필요하다. 본 연구는 항만공사 운영방식 개혁에 대한 논의에 대비하여 이러한 통합적인 접근방식과 분권적인 접근방식에 대한 비교분석을 하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 항만공사제도의 도입배경과 현황, 조직의 통합운영과 분산운영에 대한 이론적 배경, 국내 공기업 통합 사례 및 해외항만 운영 사례, 항만공사 운영 방식의 대안별 비교를 실시하였다. 이를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 항만공사제도는 기존의 항만관리제도 개선을 위한 노력이라는 역사적 맥락을 기반으로 하여 기존 관리제도의 문제점을 개선하기 위한 대안으로 도입된 제도이며, 이러한 제도적 목적을 기반으로 항만공사 운영개선방안 논의가 되어야 한다는 것이다. 둘째, 공공기관 운영에 있어 내재되어 있는 문제점을 개선하기 위해 기관통합, 기능 조정, 부분통합 등 다양한 방식으로 개선이 가능하며 반드시 하나의 방법으로 이루어 질 수는 없다는 것이다. 셋째, 해외 주요 항만의 경우 개별 항만에 항만공사를 운영하는 개별적 운영방식을 택하고 있으며 대만이 유일하게 통합 운영하는 방식으로 개편하였으나 그 통합으로 인해 기대하는 효과가 실현되고 있지 않아 통합운영 방식의 근거가 되기는 어렵다. 넷째, 항만의 운영 자료를 분석한 결과 항만별로 처리하는 화물과 선대의 특성이 차이가 나고 운영방식과 대상이 되는 시장이 다름을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 항만별 운영과 고객의 차이를 감안하면 개별적 운영방식이 바람직하다고 판단된다. 결과적으로 통합 운영방식의 운영 효율성 개선 효과가 있을 수 있음에도 불구하고 항만공사제도의 목적과 취지를 감안할 때 현행 개별운영 방식을 유지하는 것이 바람직하다는 결론을 제시한다.

This study uses Conjoint Analysis to study optimal port operations at the newly built International P assenger Terminal (IPT) at Inchon Port, Korea. The perceptions of users, operators, and the Incheon Port Authority are compared and analyzed. The results of user Conjoint Analysis showed that rent calculation method was the most important factor in the NIPT operation plan, followed by establishing automation and the size of the site area. For the Incheon Port Authority and operators, the rent calculation method turned out to be the most important factor for NIPT operation plans. It was followed by establishing automation and the site area. Utility results showed the "investment cost preservation method" to have the highest rent calculation utility, "yard automation" as the priority, and "43,000 pyeong-48,000 pyeong" as the optimal site area.

When comparing the port management type between the both countries, there are some differences at some aspects. And also Korea is to move forward a hub port and logistics center in Northeast Asia while Japan is to pursue providing the port logistics service necessary for the Japanese economy. Major findings and implications are as follows. first, Port authority system should be extended to Gwangyang and Pyeongtaek port step by step. Second, any port which did not introducing a port authority system should enhance cooperating with its own local administration. Third, a port marketing strategy must be established and implemented by a port authority.

This study estimated the regional economic effects by development of the logistics complex in Incheon New Port, applying the regional Input-Output tables in Incheon. And thereby, we tried to find some strategic implications on the priority to induce more effective industries for activated operation of the logistics complex in ports. According to the results, development of Incheon New Port will generate 2,579 billion KRWs(2.2 billion USDs) of production and 1,783 KRWs(1.5 billion USDs) of value-added annually. And we expect it to induce 38.8 thousand jobs, which is over the national average on the input-output table. By the business type, port logistics industry will contribute to develop regional economy more than any other ones in Incheon. We suggest business firms in port logistics industry to be induced to the logistics complex in Incheon New Port strategically. Until now, development of the logistics complex in Incheon New Port are planned to be postponed to 2015 when construction of the berth facilities, the access sea routes and the hinterland highways are completed. We suggest to invest more public fund, to induce the private capital, and then, to develop the logistics complex in Incheon New Port earlier in an appropriate scale.

This study is aimed to extract the key role of port operation organizations for the development of region ports and identify the operating efficiency priorities of three ports such as Busan, Incheon and UIsan port operated by PA(port authority). The Factor Analysis(FA) and Fuzzy Method were used as the analysis methodes. As an important role of port authority and regional maritime affairs & port office, thirteen sub-evaluation factors and four top-level evaluation factors were selected using the FA. Among the top-level evaluation factors i.e. 'port security, information management', service for regional society and customers', 'port marketing' and 'customer attraction', the most important factor was identified as 'port marketing'. The total port efficiency was evaluated using these factors and Fuzzy Method. As a result, Busan ranked 1st, followed by Incheon and Ulsan.

In order to improve inefficient and unproductive factors and in response to criticisms of the failure in harbor privatization introduced in 1997, the Korean government introduced the Port Authority system, which is commonly adopted in advanced harbors in the world. This research examined the theoretical background of harbor management system and various cases of harbor management in foreign countries. The desirable introduction of Port Authority system must be preceded by the settlement of problems in harbor structure and operation. In addition, the Port Authority Act, which restricts the autonomy of harbor corporations, should be improved for user-centered Port Authority system. Strategies for the successful introduction of Incheon Port Authority are as follows. Firstly it is required to establish consumer-centered harbor operation system. The second requirement is to activate the harbor logistics industry through the development of nearby logistic complexes led by Port Authority and, by doing so, to promote the development of local economy. Thirdly it is essential to lay the foundation of mutual prosperity through developing profitable businesses by linking localities and harbors, and to suggest a crisis control network for Port Authority and local self-governing bodies to cope jointly with crises in logistics and natural disasters.
