Looking at the cargo trend of Gwangyang port (GWP) during past decade, petrochemical items grew by 26% and steel item grew by 12%, but container cargo just grew by 4%. Thus, Yeosu-Gwangyang Port Authority (YGPA) sets the port development initiative targeting at industrial core port considering GWP's strength as multi function port and industrial port and GWP's weakness as lower container cargo growth trend. The purpose of this study is proposing the projects about the GWP's industrial core port development. The results of the study is as follows. As a prerequisite for development as an industrial core port, it was suggested to form a consensus on the modification or change of the port performance index of univariate port cargo volume. The following three tasks were presented for GWP to develop as an industrial core port. It can be said that it is most necessary to derive, manage, and monitor GWP industrial core performance indicators. Next, it is necessary to conduct a survey on the satisfaction of industrial support in ports. Finally, it is necessary to measure the added value of the port area of GWP hinterland.

수리조선산업은 기술 및 노동집약적 산업으로 기계, 철강, 전기전자, 화학 등 연관산업에 대한 생산 유발효과 및 고용효과가 높은 산업이다. 또한 연계 산업에 대한 직접적인 생산증가 효과와 선원 체류에 따른 부가가치 증가 등의 부수효과를 함께 고려할 때 지역경제에 대한 기여도가 높은 산업적 역할을 수행하고 있으며, 특히 부산 경남 울산 지역은 세계 5위권 전후에 해당하는 해운물동량을 처리하는 입지조건과 신조선 분야 1위의 우수한 기술 및 노동력을 보유하고 있다. 이러한 긍정적인 측면에도 불구하고 여러 요인들로 인해 수리조선산업이 경쟁력이 확보되지 못하고 있는 실정이며, 2013년 들면서 부산항의 컨테이너 물동량 실적이 7위로 하락하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부산항을 중심으로 수리조선산업 공급망 관리를 위하여 정보화 네트워크 구축사례를 분석하고, 이를 통하여 수리조선산업 정보화 네트워크의 성공적인 구축 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

This study aims to (1) investigate the main factors for the evaluation of port competitiveness through a literature review; (2) compare each terminal's competitiveness in Busan and Shanghai ports using TOPSIS methodology; (3) determine how to improve Busan port competitiveness. TOPSIS analysis of throughput shows that the terminals in Shanghai (SMCT, SGICT) are competitive. Shanghai is ranked first in both the port physical analysis (SMCT) and the financial one (SSICT). Total competitiveness analysis shows that Shanghai terminals (SSICT, SMCT, and SGICT) are more competitive than the ones in the Busan port. In this analysis, the SSICT ranks the top terminal in port physical and financial categories, while the SMCT ranks the first terminal in terms of throughput. The results of this study provide important policy implications for the Busan port, whose international status as a transshipment port and international logistics hub has lowered, and whose recent growth is slower than that of the competing international ports.

The global container terminal market is predicted to see continued future volume growth. According to Drewry, global container shipments rose by 6.3% year-on-year to 750 billion twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2017 and are forecast to experience continued growth to 9.3 billion TEUs in 2022. According to IHS Markit, the global terminal operator (GTO) market is forecast to grow more than 10% annually, up from $2.4 billion in 2017, to exceed $3 billion by 2022. However, Hyundai Merchant Marine is the only real GTO in Korea. In particular, the shipping and port markets are facing drastic changes, both at home and abroad, including a slowdown in the growth of domestic export and import shipments, environmental changes in the container market caused by the trade frictions between the US and China, and increased changes in container shipments caused by the trade frictions between Korea and Japan. In this study, we propose ways for domestic companies to participate in the continuously growing GTO market. After analyzing the current status of the global GTO market, the government expressed a desire to explore ways to establish GTOs through the Port Authority and the Korea Ocean Business Corporation. Therefore, four types of establishment plans were proposed, along with a legal framework for the establishment of GTOs.

This study aims to assess the competitiveness of 30 logistics centers that operate in the hinterland of the North Container Port at Busan New Port. Thirty-two key factors were selected from previous studies to analyze and improve competitiveness and expand business opportunities in the hinterland. Suggestions from logistics experts were also canvassed. These variables were then put through first- and second-factor analysis to verify validity and measure confidence levels; they were later categorized into five factors and 15 sub-factors impacting on competitiveness. The categorized factors were compared using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to assess the importance of each factor and sub-factor in the case of logistics centers in the North Container hinterland of Busan New Port. The findings indicate that factors related to the securing of significant amounts of container cargoes were of greater importance. On the other hand, relatively basic factors proved to be less important in improving the competitiveness of the port hinterland.

Due to the continuous increasement of the container cargoes, each container port market has been growing as well. Moreover, the competition among container terminal operators located in the same port is also growing in order to attract more container cargoes. This paper looked into the market structures, market conducts and market performances of container ports in Busan and Shanghai. The index which has been most widely used to measure market structure, the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI), is computed by squaring each supplier's market share, then adding the squared shares. This paper estimated the market performance as profitability (PCM, ROA), growth (total TEU, rate of the increasement of TEU) and examined the effects of the HHI on the profitability and growth in a container terminal operators in Korea and China. The major findings of this study is that the market structure has effects on market performance in Busan port (total TEU) and Shanghai port (PCM, ROA and total TEU). As a result of analysing this study, market structure has an effect on market performance in Busan and Shanghai port, but the power of influence can be changed by market concentration index and various market conduct of companies.

Container terminals keenly compete with one another because of the continuous increase of container flows and the appearance of large-sized vessels. Major cargo handling equipment manufacturers are interested in the development of new conceptual equipment to greatly increase its productivity. In this study, a two-phase procedure is suggested for selecting the optimal development alternatives, when various development alternatives for container cranes are given. The first phase removes the alternatives that violate essential requirements and the second phase selects final alternatives by the evaluation of experts and the linear assignment method. Finally, a case applying the procedure is provided.

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.
