Masan Port, which is a main entrance to Korea, has undergone the tough time these days. Many problems are mainly due to the deterioration of harbor facilities, the shortage of waterfront area and the decrease of the trading volumes. Especially the trading volumes are seriously affected by the Busan New Port, which was not only very close to the Masan Port but constructed in a large scale. For the Masan Port to develop continuously, therefore, it is vital to modernize harbor facilities, redevelop the old harbor, expand its waterfront, construct green port and develop harbor for sightseeing. At the same time, Masan port should be ready to develop a higher value added port. To vitalize Masan port's economy, we have to push forward a differentiation strategy that makes Masan port specialized harbor for distributing goods like hard and heavy cargo.

The productivity of port labor in Pusan port is very low and the ratio of port accident is high in comparision with other advanced foreign ports. The aim of this paper is to find why the productivity in Pusan port is much lower than that of other countries in terms of port labor education systems. To obtain the objective of this study, the writers used 163 questionnaire for port labor in BCTOC, PECT and UTC for the survey of training method of cargo equipment handling. The result of this study shows as follows; (1) From the fact that ratio of labor who were trained by KPTI was 2.5%, we could say the public training system of port labor is not operated properly (2) As most of laborers are trained by the experienced associate, they do not recognize how the level of cargo handling equipment is set to increase the productivity. (3) In order that the port public training system plays a good role in port industry, a new license system should be introduced and an expert education system should be developed.

In this study, we analyze the performance of five major port distriparks and present a development plan. The analysis groups the performance into three categories: revitalization of companies in port distriparks, contribution to the port volume, and contribution to the national economy. The key parameters examined in detail include the ratio of hinterland volume to port volume (container and total cargo), port volume growth contribution rate, and job creation. Our results indicate that Gwangyang and Ulsan Ports showed steady growth for all the indicators analyzed, while Gwangyang Port was the only one among the five ports to display consistent steady growth. The results suggest that to achieve consistent growth, high value-added and specialized port distriparks based on the local economy should be established.

In this paper, we propose a 3D visualization system that expresses the simulation results of port container operation monitoring and planning in terms of the movements of the surrounding environment including static and dynamic objects. It also enables us to objectively evaluate the operation model by way of animating the actual port operations. With XML-based design of object states, the port simulator visualization system (PSVS) that we propose has been implemented so as to maximize the interoperability with the existing port operation simulation (CATOS), and express the realtime animation of large-scale objects. The design method of PSVS system is explained, and its validity is experimentally examined.

In this paper, we proposed the model of wireless communication for ACTS using DSRC and the DSRC system for T/C. The proposed wireless communication model is how to join with DSRC and other wireless communication in port. The DSRC system for T/C is the first application to the unit of port Facilities Automation on stacking area. The DSRC system is communicated between OBE and RSE using 5.8Hz ISM band frequency. The previous works of DSRC applications are gate automation. In these cases, the road trackers are difficult to obtain information of the port in the stacking area. So we used the DSRC for the wireless communication for the port Facilities Automation. Using DSRC, the load trackers obtain more information in the port and contacts to ITS on back-roads of port. The proposed communication system is serviced to reelection of port statistics.

This paper is the first of companion papers, which investigate port-masking effects on lean misfire limit. Port-masking was applied to commercial SOHC 3-valve and DOHC 4-valve engine by inserting masking plates between manifold and port. To induce various conditions of stratification, six types of masking plates were applied. The masking plates were placed in the upstream of injector to prevent wall wetting and two ports were not separated to permit both fuel and air entering through masked port. The results were compared with those by conventional port throttling. The results show that lean misfire limit mainly depends on masking direction, that is, high lean misfire limit is achieved when the port near the spark plug is masked. The mechanism of stratification by masking is different from axial stratification by port throttling. In this case, the rich mixture entering through masked port plays a very important role in the stratification process.

Port Authority in Korea does not have financial independence nor fair recruitment practices, thus the prospects of the establishment of the Port Authority is not adequate. Therefore independent and effective port administration cannot be achieved. To overcome this situation, this paper examines the port administration system in Korea and identifies its problems. This paper then provides an 'modeling of Analytical Hierarchy structure' for evaluation. An alternative solution is provided by carrying out a public survey, analysing the significance of the evaluation factor using the techniques of the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The significance of profitability was identified. The role of central government is significant when assessing the public service function of port administration; and the role of the private company is significant when assessing the independence. In addition, the private company is significant when assessing profitability. The private company is the alternative for port administration in Korea, based on the evaluation of various alternatives.

Pyeongtaek Port is becoming a specialized for importing or exporting cars. In 2010, Pyeongtaek Port became the major port, out of the 31 ports in Korea, for import and export of cars. Usage of this port was especially high for imported cars. In 2011, more than 1 million cars are expected to be imported or exported via Pyeongtaek Port. This research analyses the factors for selecting Pyeongtaek Port for imported cars and recommendations required to improve Pyeongtaek Port. To do this, questionnaires were given to 14 imported car companies that currently, July 2011, use Pyeongtaek Port and used AHP criteria to asses the importances of each factors. According to this research, the most important determinant for the use of Pyeongtaek Port is 'Port Location' followed by 'Port Cost', 'Port Facility', 'Port Service', 'Port Marketing' and 'Port Cargo Volume', in the order of importance. Also, imported car companies say that the factor in need for the most urgent improvement is 'Port Facilities' in Pyeongtaek Port.

Nowadays port has changed so rapidly as other economic variables. The main issues of these changes are classified with some problems such as the progress of containerization and enlargement of ship size and its speed, the introduction and expansion of EDI system, and the inducement of private capital in port development. Therefore, the competition among ports is severer than before, especially in container cargos. Almost all ports try to strengthen their competitive power and enlarge their port performance and throughput through many kinds of efforts and strategies. Port marketing is important approach and methods in order to make understand port and make call on their ports, of course, realizing the importance of port for the regional economics and employment generation. In this paper, the various marketing concepts are redefined and applied in terms of port and shipping service with which marketing is not so much popular and familiar. After many diagnoses and investigations are executed with special logistical viewpoints and attention, this paper suggests some countermeasures of port marketing in the angles of 4Ps. The strategies and countermeasures are classified in 3 stages according to their broadness and specificity. The privatization of port and port competition need the renovation and rationalization of traditional port activities and old port operation customs. Although this paper suggest many ideas with focusing Busan port, these ideas will be used in other ports. I think it is necessary further study concerned this topics and some limitations which this paper contains.
