Since service competition among global supply chains became intensified, market-oriented system, instead of the existing cost-based system, for port service pricing has been strongly recommended in order to enhance their long-term viability and competitiveness. The Owen value of cooperative game frameworks allows us to apply a market-oriented pricing theory for the port pricing in the case of Gwangyang port to verify its usefulness. The analytical results of this paper suggested some solutions in the problem of berth-based cost allocation by a characteristic function and also showed the proper relative weights of factors to derive the quay use index by Budescu(1993). We also suggested a favorable port pricing system to major shipping firms as well as a discount port pricing system for their strategic alliance. To put it differently, the results of this study enable the port managers to make out some strategic port pricing system like the reasonable discount in port charge for the larger ship owners using the ports frequently.

The quantity of container transportation of the world harbors is constantly increasing by 8.8％ per year until 2011. present port facilities will not satisfy it. So facility expansion is necessary. Because the processing cost in the harbor becomes to 30％ of total transportation expense, major ports in the world are making an effort in the automation facilities to solve the problems of higher labor costs and insufficient labor and to maximize the efficiency of the work and use of the land. Especially, the automation of the gate, which is the place of cargo's appearance and disappearance, the node which creates the information. is now rising as the important issue. In this study suggests more efficient design for port gate automation.

This paper first tries to analyze total sea transport costs for the transshipment in Busan Port in comparison with direct transport to 4 Chinese Ports, Dalian, Tinajin, Qingdao and Shanghai, based on vessel operation scenarios. The results found that the transshipment in Busan port for the 4 Chinese ports are more expensive than the direct calling to the 4 ports, which implies that Busan port needs to make compensation as an incentive to the carriers providing transshipment service to it in order to keep their royalty. For the compensation, it suggested a method of calculating the Container Terminal Facilities Leasing Fee to levy additional revenue by port authority.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a rational cost allocation method that is efficient and fair. Cost allocation by taking cooperative game theory shows fair allocation considering marginal cost by ship type. Current berth occupancy charging method can not recover quay construction costs. Because it levies charges according to berthing time and tonnage of ships without considering the recovery of quay construction costs. And there are also cross subsidies among ships. This paper suggests the cost allocation method of cooperative game theory as a fair and efficient method.

This research attempts to explore the competitive advantage of the Busan New Port based on the comparative analysis against the major ports. The competitive environment of the global shipping business poses a variety of challenges for the port authorities. Pursuing the hub position in the Northeast Asia, Busan new port needs an in-depth competitive analysis against the major ports in Singapore and China. This research proposes the strategies to exploit the locational advantage of the port while upgrading the operational efficiency. The recent development of the information technology suggests a viable solution for the Busan port.

Mokpo port marked the $131^{st}$ anniversary of its opening in 2018. while the Mokpo has taken the new port development initiatives, it is limited by inefficient port functioning due to the lack of maritime port policy and government investment. Hence, port logistics has not been activated. Additionally, studies on Mokpo port have not been conducted, and knowledge available on the port is declarative in nature. On the other hand, research on port competitiveness focuses on how to analyze the factors that determine port competitiveness. Therefore, this study was intended to expand the existing research on Mokpo port and conduct an analysis of non-competitiveness factors and suggested improvements by considering the operational aspect of Mokpo port. In this regard the importance of non-competitiveness factors was assessed through an analytic hierarchy process(AHP) analysis and the influence of the non-competitiveness factors was analyzed through an fuzzy structural modeling(FSM) analysis. The result of the AHP analysis show ed the important non-competitiveness factors included the deactivation of industrial complexes around Mokpo port, the number of liner route, the cost of the pilot and tug. Accor ding to the FSM analysis, the top level included the non-competitive factors at Mokpo port; the intermediate level included the number of liner routes, cost of pilot and tug, enrance and clearance fee, costs of inland transportation, fee for port facilities, and loading and unloading costs; and the bottom level comprised the most non-competitive factors including the deactivation of industrial complexes around Mokpo port, hinterland connectivity, access to international port, incentives, and cost of transportation and storage. Based on the results of analysis, improvements were suggested for non-competitive factors of Mokpo.

Over the past years, the role of ports in the global network of supply chains has becoming increasingly important, not merely as a physical location for loading and unloading goods, but also as an essential center of economic activity where additional value is added to cargo. Due to the overall growing importance of ports, each country has chosen to adopt hub growth as a primary economic strategy. Northeast Asia in particular, due to its high population density, experiences intense competition between its ports. Busan's port, as a result, has used the establishment of Distripark in order to attract high and stable trade volume, and compete more effectively with other ports in the region. This study estimates the unit cost of the logistic process for the all principal cargos handled at Busan New Port, with the findings revealing that unit cost increases gradually starting with chemical products, LME bulk goods, automobile parts, LME containers, general cargoes, and LME inland transportation goods coming in last. Future research will look more closely at all all categories of cargo handled in the Distrpark of Busan New Port, thereby enabling us to better understand the value created by the port, and how to best implement effective trade volume-attraction strategy.

The aim of this paper is to determine the replacement time of containerships in economical viewpoint. Especially, there was a lot of vagueness to the cost data for calculation of an economical life in a containership. For this, a fuzzy number used to express the vague nature about a cost data. This paper developed the fuzzy cost model using fuzzy numbers, and to analyze more practically than the existing cost model. And the proposal model used to decide the economical life about various kinds of containerships.
