The decreasing number of import and export containers is causing a problem with container circulation. In particular, this problem has reached a serious level in the Gyeongin area. Empty containers are accumulating in the Gyeongin container yard, where most of the returned containers are stored. In order to improve the empty container return problem at Gyeonhin, this study analyzes the actual situation and the empty container return process. A preference survey was conducted to suggest solutions from the perspective of users rather than shippers. A logistics company's data was analyzed to identify the inefficient cost structure in the Gyeongin area. The results show that the empty container return problem in Gyeongin is becoming more and more serious. To solve this problem, this paper proposes reestablishing functions at the Incheon Port, and securing a third new storage terminal in the Gyeongin area. Finally, an efficient empty container circulation system is presented. It will also be necessary to prepare laws and institutions to ensure these solutions.
