As the automobile industry becomes more active, the role of dedicated docks facilitating automobile exports is also becoming prominent which can be identified as a sector still requiring comprehensive research. Accordingly, a case analysis of domestic automobile port productivity was conducted using empirical data collected from Korean automobile ports to compare and analyze their productivity and to present implications based on the findings. In the case of productivity analysis, facility, labor, working time, and cost productivity were calculated from (the beginning of) 2021 to the second quarter of 2022. The results of the analysis revealed the port D to achieve the highest productivity during the study period, followed by the ports B, C, and A, respectively. Based on the current situation of each automobile dock revealed through the results, strategies for future development is derived.
