Ports have been facing the adverse impacts of the global recession. In terms of imports, with a vast consumption hinterland, the Incheon Port has developed as the metropolitan's gateway. Additionally, the port's exports to China has been increasing due to a consistent increase in the demand of cold chain foods in the country. Considering the short distance between the Incheon Port and the ports in Northern China, the Incheon Port can serve as a logistics hub and a distribution center for exporting processed foodstuffs to China. The establishment of a cold chain logistics system at the Incheon Port will prove to be a robust strategy. After reviewing studies and interviews from various departments, this study suggested strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) facing the Incheon Port, based on a SWOT analysis; it also recommended competitive strategies for the port. Additionally, the study used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to identify important factors such as the infrastructural, operational, cost, and technology factors. This study identified the infrastructural factor to be highly critical to the activation of the Incheon Port's cold chain system. Based on the results, the study proposed policies and strategy directions.

최근에 세계화, 무역자유화에 따른 컨테이너 물동량이 증가하고 있다. 그에 발맞추어 초대형 컨테이너선이 등장하게 되고 신개념, 고효율의 항만인프라의 도입이 요구되고 있다. 이런 배경에 따라 최근에 국내외에서 부유식 안벽에 관한 기술 개발 및 연구가 더욱 필요한 상황이다. 부유식 안벽은 이동가능한 부유식 구조로 기존 항만의 확장 또는 신규 항만 건설시 환경문제를 최소화하고 기항, 선박수 및 선박의 크기에 따른 안벽 배열을 최적화 할 수 있어 항만 기능을 고도화함으로써 녹색항만을 구현하는데 많은 기여를 하게 될 것이다. 특히 컨테이너선의 양현하역과 환적이 가능하게 되어 컨테이너 터미널의 화물처리능력을 확대할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 기항선박의 체류시간을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한, 우리나라는 삼면이 바다로 크고 작은 항만들이 해안선을 따라 위치하고 있다. 이러한 항만들을 안전하게 보호하기 위한 방파제는 항만 기본시설인 외곽시설 중의 가장 중요한 구조물이다. 국내에 설치된 방파제는 대부분 사석이나 케이슨을 이용한 중력식 방파제로써 해저에 고정되어 해수면상으로 건설되므로 항내 외 해수교환을 차단하여 항내 수질악화를 초래할 뿐만 아니라 수심에 따라 막대한 건설비용이 소요된다. 따라서 친환경적이고 경제적인 새로운 형식의 방파제에 대한 연구 및 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 그 중 하나의 대안인 부유식 방파제는 공사기간이 짧고 비교적 수심에 대한 제약이 없는 것이 특징이다. 또한 해수의 원활한 흐름이 가능하기 때문에 중력식 방파제에 비해 경제적이며, 환경적 측면에서 큰 장점이 있다. 하지만 아직까지 부유식 방파제에 대한 국내 및 해외에서의 연구는 이론적인 해석을 중심으로 이루어져 부유식 방파제 실용화를 위한 많은 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 부유식 안벽 내에서 정온도를 효과적으로 유지하기 위하여 부유식 방파제를 설치하고 소파성능과 부유식 안벽내의 영향성을 수리모형실험을 통해 분석하였다.

Countries in the world make a strategic effort to develop their own ports into hub ports and lure transshipment cargoes. Likewise, the Busan Port tries to become a container hub port in Northeast Asia, but there is lately a gradual decline in the number of transshipment cargoes. The purpose of this study was to examine the influential factors of port transshipment traffic in an effort to identify the determinants of transshipments in the Busan Port. In existing studies, harbor infrastructure, maritime transshipment cost, port cost and port service were primarily presented as the determinants of transshipment traffic after surveys were conducted by experts. In this study, the transshipment traffic in the Busan Port was selected as a dependent variable, and the container traffic and transshipment traffic of ports in adjacent countries and each country's amount of trade and economic growth rate were selected as explanatory variables to analyze what factors determined the transshipment traffic in the port.

Due to the changes of shipping and logistic environment, Asian ports today face severe competition. To be a mega-hub port, Asian ports have achieved a big scale development. For these reasons, it has been widely recognized as an important study to analyze and evaluate characteristics of Asian ports, from the standpoint of Korea where Busan Port is located. Although some previous studies have been reported, most of them have been beyond the scope of Asian ports and analyzed the world's major ports; moreover, the studied ports have been about the ports which are well known from the previous research and reports. So, most studies is unlikely to be used as substantial indicators from the perspective of Busan Port. In addition. most of the existing studies have used hierarchical evaluation algorithm for port ranking, such as AHP (analytical hierarchy process) and clustering analysis. However, these two methods have fundamental weaknesses from the algorithm perspective. The aim of this study is to classify major Asian ports based on competitiveness level. Especially. in order to overcome serious problem of the existing studies, major Asian ports were analyzed by using objective indicators. and Fuzzy C-Means algorithm, which alleviates the weakness of the clustering method. It was found that 10 ports of 16 major Asian ports have their own phases and were classified into 4 port groups. This result implies that some ports have higher potential as ports to lead some zones in Asia. Based on those results. present status and future direction of Busan port were discussed as well.

A relative important analysis was conducted to determine what factors are required for port selection in Mokpo New Port and what needs to be addressed first in order to expand automobile and steel cargo handling. The port selection factors of Mokpo New Port were classified into 4 major and 13 intermediate categories, and AHP analysis was used. As a result, items such as 'port facilities', 'accessibility to international ports', 'port facility usage fees', and 'connectivity with neighboring cities/ports' were evaluated as important. The respondent groups were divided into shipowner and shipper, port operator and stevedore, and public official, and an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to verify if there was a difference in perception between the groups. As a result, shipowner and shipper, port operator and stevedore were similar, but there was a difference from public official group. Shipowner and shipper, port operator and stevedore with similar response characteristics were classified into the 'port practitioner' group, and public official were classified into the 'port policy maker' group, and the difference in perception between the group was tested. Therefore, there were differences in some major category items, and even in the intermediate category items such as 'possession of adjacent hinterland industrial complex', 'cargo equipment', '24-hour port operation', 'inland transportation cost', 'accessibility to international ports', 'marketing and incentives' with statistical. In other words, the 'port practitioner' group evaluated items that can increase cargo creation and handling productivity as important whereas the 'port policy maker' group considers port development and policies such as port infrastructure, connectivity with other ports, and incentive support items are more important.

In the past, regional pilot service is provided by individual pilots directly on board each ship, but it will be difficult to provide this type of service in the near future when autonomous vessels are activated. This can be seen as the need for automation and intelligence of pilot service and provision of remote control system. In this paper, we propose a method, system, and service target that can carry out the electronic pilot service through the intelligence aids to navigation for smart port operation.
