The aim of this study is to identify the difference of the customer satisfaction before and after establishment of Busan Port Authority with focus on container terminals in Busan Port. As a result, the customer satisfaction varies according to customer types, and it has been changed followed by container port environment. Therefore suitable strategies have to establish, i.e. berth number for large shipping company, connectivity for feeder company, and activity of customer attraction for terminal operating company.

The production of larger of ships is a survival strategy for global shipping companies to pursue the economics of scale. According to this strategy, to respond to this situation, many containers are loading/unloading simultaneously in the hub port. Additionally, the container terminals are promoting the introduction of automation to expand the terminal facilities and increase efficiency/productivity of the container yards. European ports have introduced automation to address rising labor costs and shortages of labor. Recently, the construction of fully automated container terminals is increasing in the United States and China to resolve problems such as the slow growth of the global economy, the emergence of large ships, air pollution, and safety accidents. Domestic ports are at an early stage compared to the world's advanced container terminals, and countermeasures are being prepared to respond to the changing ports. However, research on the recognition difference analysis that examines the opinions of stakeholders is insufficient. As a result of analyzing the recognition among the groups, it was found that container terminal operators reduced labor costs, improved shipping services for shipping companies, prevented safety accidents for port union labor, and increased service for port authority and government agencies. Thus, to closely examine the perception among the groups, one-way ANOVA was performed, and then the implications were deduced as the basic data for the smooth introduction of automation.

As the shipping market deteriorates, shipping companies seek to realize economies of scale by promoting the enlargement of container ships. Container terminal operators are increasingly adopting automated equipment and systems in order to quickly provide services and attract traffic. As such, the competition for each terminal to become a hub port is intensifying. Increased automation of advanced container terminals improves productivity and efficiency In the meantime, Korea remains semi-automated. Therefore, the relevant subject survey through SPSS 23.0 program for analysis of recognition difference, We will check the awareness among stakeholders for the smooth introduction.

세계 항만환경은 초대형 컨테이너선의 등장이후, 허브 & 스포크(Hub & Spoke)의 형태로 급속히 변화하고 있다. 이에 해외 선진항만들은 중심항만으로서 자리매김하기 위해 자동화 컨테이너터미널을 구축하는 등 생산성 향상을 위한 노력을 하고 있으나, 국내의 경우 자동화 컨테이너터미널에 관한 연구, 그중 자동화 게이트시스템에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 자동화 게이트시스템을 구축 시, 최적 기술 대안을 선정하기 위해 국내 외 게이트 운영현황과 관련 기술들의 분석함으로써 자동화 게이트시스템 구축 시 필요한 기술을 도출하다. 그 결과를 컨테이너터미널 운영사의 기술 담당자들을 대상으로 현재 게이트시스템의 만족도와 문제점 그리고 향후 게이트시스템 구축 시 사용하고자 하는 기술과 기대효과를 찾고자 하였다. 하지만 1차 설문결과 내용만으로는 어떤 요소 기술이 사용자가 요구하는 기대효과를 만족시킬 수 있는 최적 기술 대안인지 제시하기 힘들었다. 이를 보완하기 위한 방법으로 정성적인 주관적 평가요소를 객관화하여 각 평가기준에서 나타나는 적용상의 한계를 해결할 수 있는 방법인 AHP 기법을 활용하였으며, 최종적으로 생산성 보안성, 경제성 3가지 평가 기준을 고려하여 최적 기술 대안을 선정한 결과 RFID가 최적의 기술대안으로 평가되었다.

This paper is concerned about applying the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) for a priority analysis of equipment operation plan to improve productivity of the container terminal in Gwangyang port. In this study, main elements of container terminal are assumed as into yard equipment area, transport equipment area, berth equipment area and C/Center area. A questionnaire is used to collect the opinions of equipment operating department and operational planning department. On the whole, the result of the analyses reveals that the most important area is yard equipment area. Examining each department is responses, equipment operating department preferred the C/Center area to other areas, on the other hand, operational planning department preferred yard equipment area. The result of this study suggests some guidelines for deciding priority of operation plan in the container terminal.

In this study, we compared the efficiency of container terminals using DEA. To do this, we designed an AHP/DEA hybrid model using AHP and DEA, and evaluated the efficiency by comparing the container terminal operation company in Gwangyang(KEC, KIT, GICT) and Busan(HBCT, DPCT, KBCT, UPT, Gamman, PNC, PNIT, HJNC, HPNT). The proposed model can control the number of selected promising container terminal by applying DEA-AR model. This model can also improve the credibility of analysis by using objective weights through the AHP application to efficiency evaluation data and normalizing the evaluation data to apply AHP and DEA. The model assumes inputs to be container crane, transfer crane, yard tractor, and reach stacker and output as container traffic. The result shows that DPCT was an efficient DMU.

Today, the competition for hub-port is getting fierce and the shipping liners have enjoyed the increased bargaining power over the terminal operators through the mergers & acquisitions (M&A) and strategic alliances. This result leads the competition among terminal operators to attract liner companies and cargoes in their terminals. In demand side, however, there is a limited container cargo volume to handle because of a steady growth of cargo traffic. While, in supply side, continuous development of port terminals increased more competition among ports or terminals for cargoes. In particular the terminal operating market of Busan port is distorted because of the cargo competition between Busan North-port and Newport. The main purpose of this study is to suggest the stabilization measures of container terminal operating market in Busan port through analysis of the terminal operation market structures and market survey analysis method. For stabilizing the container terminal market, this study suggests the improvement of the legal and institutional system such as improvement in determining and reporting system of stevedoring tariff, establishment of fair competition rules etc., the introduction of port pooling system and adoption of volume-linked terminal lease system with cargo volume ceiling system for each terminal operator.

In order to improve the productivity and continuous competitiveness of container terminals, it is necessary to make efforts to reduce operational losses at each terminal. As a study on this, it is necessary to study the non-productivity movement based on the shuffle(re-handling) in the yard analysis is needed. In this study, non - productive activity factors were classified by prefecture, transporter, shippers and terminal based on operation data of domestic A terminal. As a result, 14.7% is due to the causes of shipping companies and shipping companies, and in addition, 85.3% of the respondents indicated that they were responsible for the terminal operation. In order to minimize the above factors, it is necessary to reduce the non-productive activity through rapid information processing and pre-information acquisition from shipping companies, and minimize the influence of bulge-out through installation of concrete blocks in the equipment field.

Following the introduction of containerized sea transportation, the size of container ships has progressively increased. While the primary objective of this enlargement is to achieve economies of scale, it significantly affects the operational environment of ports where these ships dock, raising concerns about the validity of efficiency gains from ultra large container vessels from a port operational perspective. This study evaluates the efficiency of various ship sizes from January to December 2022, utilizing internal data from the container terminals A and B located in the Busan New Port. The analysis encompasses ships affiliated with The Alliance at Container Terminal A and those associated with 2M at Container Terminal B. Key input variables considered for the study include ship size (TEU), total berth time, and loading/unloading time, with cargo handling performance serving as the only output variable. The findings indicate that larger ship sizes exhibit higher efficiency compared to smaller container ships.
