In this paper, we investigate the selection of transport route for import-export container cargo based on the sacrifice model and environmental cost of transport route. At first, sacrifice model. environmental cost of transport, the transportation and the transport share of import-export container cargo are investigated briefly. And next, the transport time and cost, the environmental cost which is caused by cargo transport are investigated for the transport of import-export container cargo from Pusan Port to Seoul. And also we calculate the sacrifice of each route by using the sacrifice model including the environmental cost. Finally we decide the transport route of import-export container cargo by using the sacrifice of each transport route. From the research results, we confirm that the road transport share decreases and the coastal transport share increases when the environmental coast of transport is considered.

In this paper, the selection of transport route for import-export container cargo based on the sacrifice model and CO₂ emission was investigated. At first, the transportation of import-export container cargo, the transport share of each transport route, the CO₂ gas emission, the sacrifice model and the time value of import-export container cargo were investigated. And next, the selection of transport route based on the sacrifice model was investigated for the transport of import-export container cargo from Seoul to Pusan Port. Finally, the transport route was also selected by using the sacrifice model including the effect of CO₂ emission. The research results show that the transport route selection results of import-export container cargo based on the sacrifice model represents the present status of the transportation of import-export container cargo very well. And also the research results show that the reduction of transport time was very effective to increase the share of coastal transportation.

In Southern Vietnam, the competition among Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) has resulted in deconcentration tendencies and shifting share situations. However, related research on Southern Vietnam ICDs in particular and ICDs in Vietnam in general has been extremely limited. Hence, In this study, empirical research is conducted on ICDs located in southern Vietnam from 2010 to 2017. The throughput volume data of ICDs is analyzed by concentration indicators, namely the concentration ratio (CR), the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the Gini coefficient, the Lorenz curve, and the shift share analysis (SSA). The results of adopting all the methodologies indicate that deconcentration was the mainstream trend for ICDs in Southern Vietnam during the period of 2010-2017. The findings provide insights into the process of container terminal development and have academic and managerial implications. The strengthening of the competitiveness of Vietnamese container ports and ICDs could affect the competing Southeast Asian neighbors by facilitating the port of more shipping companies.

Korea has been doing a two-port system as a main port development policy and developing the port of Busan and Gwangyang as the transshipment hubs in the northeast Asia. However, the growth rate of the transshipment container volume of the Gwangyang port in 2007 was sharply dropping more than 31.4%. The reasons why reduced the growth rate of transshipment cargo were from the port development in north China and the direct callings of ships. Therefore, it is time to evaluate the transshipment hub port policy of Korea. This study would recognize the decision criteria of shipping companies as customers for the transshipment hub in the northeast Asia by the AHP methodology based on Lirn et al. (2004). It has been known the costs of shipping companies and port location as the main first tier criteria for transshipment ports, and container handling charges, closeness to the main navigation route, carriers' strategy, and nearness to the feeder ports as the important second tier factors. Finally, the domestic terminal operating companies would focus on only a few attributes including the terminal cost factor, but the international shipping companies would be considering more several factors than they do. Therefore, the transshipment port strategy should be enriched in the near future.

As carbon neutrality has recently emerged as a global issue, the carbon neutral roadmap of MOF has been established and various strategies have been proposed to achieve carbon neutrality in the entire marine industry. The port sector is also included in the target for greenhouse gas reduction, but emissions are not being measured due to limitations in data collection and no inventory construction. For building a carbon-neutral port, it is essential to calculate and forecast emissions and set reduction targets. Accordingly, in this study, CO₂ emitted from domestic port equipment was calculated according to the IPCC Guildeline's emission calculation method, and future emission was estimated. As a result of the analysis, about 420,000 tons of CO₂ was emitted based on the cargo volume in 2020, and emissions are expected to continue to increase in proportion to the increase and about 720,000 tons will be emitted by 2050. In order to achieve carbon neutrality of the port, it needs to promote emission reduction by converting the power source for oil-based equipment to eco-friendly fuel. Also container and miscellaneous ports which require complicated cargo handling need to effort to reduce CO₂.

Recently the cargo transportation is increasing according to lager containerships in the container terminal. Thus, the various ways(such as efficient vehicle scheduling and minimizing delay time) are applied to increase productivity to handle the increasing cargo transportation in the container terminal. In this paper, the optimized model(Solvers) is applied to improve the existing heuristic method as a way of increasing productivity. The experimental design is that the result of two objective functions(minimizing travel and delay time of the empty vehicle) is compared to the result of the existing heuristic method by six sample problems. As a result of the two objective function experiments, the optimized model draws 5.3% more improved performance than the heuristic method in four of six problem samples.

Korea has been huge investments in its port system, annually upgrading its infrastructure to turn the ports into Asian hub port. However, while Busan port is ranked fifth globally for container throughput, Other Korean ports are ranked much lower. This article applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) to evaluate selected major Korean seaports' operational efficiency and productivity from 2010 to 2018. It further integrates Principal Component Analysis (PCA) into DEA, with the PCA-DEA combined model strengthening the basic DEA results, as the discriminatory power weakens when the variable number exceeds the number of Decision Making Units(DMU). Meanwhile, MPI is applied to measure the seaports' productivity over the years. The analyses generate efficiency and productivity rankings for Korean seaports. The results show that except for Gwangyang and Ulsan port, none of the selected seaports is currently efficient enough in their operations. The study also indicates that technological progress has led to impactful changes in the productivity of Korean seaports.

Since 1960s, a container shipping volume has increased dramatically and continuous on a trend of rapid growth, and so the number of containers handled at the port increases. The position measurement of the yard crane is very important for improving the operating efficiency of the port. This paper describes the method to measure the absolute position of yard crane accurately and rapidly, using both the output pulse of an encoder and infrared sensors. The crane position is calculated by counting the output pulse of an incremental encoder, which is mounted on the wheel in the crane. By the way, the wheel slippage on rail may cause some errors in the crane position information obtained from encoder pulse, and the infrared sensor is used to compensate for errors in the crane position information. The performance of proposed method is verified on experimental results with the simulator of yard crane, the size of which is about 1/10 with the real crane.

Busan New Port has continued to expand its capacity to handle transshipment cargos exceeding 50 percent of its total volume, but it is considered inefficient because of the work scheduling based on the worker experience. In particular, depending on the transshipment task situation, which often requires an external truck, excessive congestion caused by the vehicle's delay can lead to increased logistics costs and social costs. One way to resolve this issue is to minimize the single transport of the truck and to maximize dual-cycle transport by putting the finished truck into another task. Therefore, we would like to study how to efficiently schedule transportation transshipment cargos between terminals considering dual-cycle.
