Recently, the cluster-based industrial policy has become a powerful policy tool for strengthening the competitiveness of nations, industries and firms. The concept of cluster develops as firms choose to locate in each others proximity. Cluster concept can be usefully applied to analyze cluster of port-related activities. Port cluster can be used as a systematic foundation for providing one-stop value added logistics service to its customers. The main purpose of this paper is to suggest a way for establishing the port cluster in Korean seaport. For this aim, the paper defines a concept of port cluster and examines the its necessity. And the procedure for establishment of port cluster in Korea is proposed. In addition, the paper analyzed the port cluster structure-conduit-performance. Especially, the role of port cluster's participants, central and local government, universities and related R＆D institutes, and private companies, are suggested respectively. As a conclusion, policy suggestions for the establishment of port cluster in Korea are suggested.

To quantitatively assess the correlation between subsystems within a port cluster and the overall coordinated development of the port group, the current paper evaluates the coordinated development of port clusters. First, we construct an evaluation index system for the coupling and coordination of port clusters. Next, we introduce the contribution index of port subsystems, coupling degree, and coupling coordination degree functions to formulate a coupling coordination evaluation model for the port cluster. Finally, we use the Yangtze River Delta port cluster as a case study for validation, specifically using empirical data from 2012 to 2021. The findings reveal distinct phased characteristics in the coupling and coordination of port clusters in the Yangtze River Delta, marked by a notable transition from "maladjustment" to "coordination." Further, sustained high coupling values over a decade indicate a significant level of competition and cooperation among ports within the Yangtze River Delta port cluster. Over time, this competitive and collaborative dynamic has progressively evolved toward a more positive and structured direction. Lastly, it is expected that the evaluation model proposed in this paper can be extrapolated to other port clusters to gauge the extent of coordinated development, thereby facilitating horizontal comparisons and vertical analyses.

서산 대산항은 중국 주요항만과 최단거리에 위치한 대중국 교역의 최적항만으로 평가받고 있으며 배후지역에 석유화학, 자동차, 전자부품단지 등 산업인프라가 잘 갖추어 있을 뿐 아니라 최근에는 상업항으로서의 기능을 강화하기 위한 항만시설 개발이 진행되고 있기 때문에 해양산업 클러스터 구축을 통한 종합항만으로서의 발전 필요성이 강하게 제기되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서산 대산항 해양산업 클러스터 구축을 위한 추진 시 선결되어야 하는 과제를 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 첫째, 해양산업 클러스터 지정 요건의 수정이 필요하다. 둘째, 둘째, 해양산업 발전을 위한 중앙 권한의 지방 이양이 요구된다. 셋째, 해양산업 클러스터 구축 관련 지자체(서산시 및 충청남도) 거버넌스 구조 변화가 요구된다. 넷째, 향후 서산 대산항 중장기 발전계획 수립시 상업항으로서의 발전가능성도 함께 검토되어야 할 것이다. 마지막으로 서산 대산항의 해양산업 클러스터 추진을 위한 지역 내 논의와 여론 조성을 위한 협의체 구성이 필요하다.

The subject of port efficiency is one of the important issues facing port authorities and policy makers today. A number of studies have been undertaken which compare ports in terms of their efficiency. But any port comparison can only be valid and meaningful if a port’s efficiency is compared with a similar port. The main objective of this paper is to introduce a systematic approach to identifying similar ports based on the technique of principal component analysis and cluster analysis. And it seeks to identify the most important factors underlying the port classification. Lack of awareness of which factors differentiate ports has resulted in an unnecessary collection of data which are of limited use in port classification. This paper has identified five groupings of similar ports within which port comparision can be justifiably made. This approach can be used for any future port comparision.

본 논문은 평택당진항의 자동차 물류 클러스터 구축방안을 모색하는데 있다. 평택당진항은 자동차 관련 부가가치 물류서비스를 바탕으로 활성화되고 발전할 필요가 있기 때문이다. 각 지자체마다 앞다퉈 자동차 관련 산업단지 육성에 나서고 있다. 또한 향후 국산 자동차 수출 전망은 어둡지만 평택당진항을 비롯한 여러 항만이 수출입과 환적 자동차를 유치하기 위해 부두시설을 확충하는 등 자동차 항만으로서 위상을 확보하기 위해 부단히 노력하고 있다. 평택당진항은 현재 1위 자동차 항만으로서 자동차 물류 클러스터를 구축하기 위한 좋은 여건을 갖추고 있다. 쌍용자동차와 기아자동차, 그리고 삼성전자와 LG전자가 가까이 위치하고 있고, 향후 항만배후단지 개발을 통하여 충분히 자동차 물류 클러스터 구축에 소요되는 부지를 용이하게 확보할 수 있기 때문이다. 단순한 물류 거점으로서만이 아니라 다양한 문화와 체험이 가능한 자동차 물류거점을 조성함으로써 미래 모빌리티 발전에 적절하게 대응할 수 있도록 함으로써 평택당진항의 지속가능한 발전을 도모할 수 있다.

Since the beginning of open-door policy, China has been making rapid annual growth with an average 10% economic development. And due to this rapid growth, cargo volumes via ports have been also rapidly increased, and accordingly, current China government has intensively invested in port development. Further, this development project is significantly big scale, compared with those project which Korea and Japan have. Thus, China is beginning to threaten Korean ports, especially Busan port which try to be a hub port in Northeast Asia. For this reason, it has been very important issue for Korea and Busan port to investigate or analyze Chinese ports based on empirical data. Especially, although various studies related to Shanghai and Hong Kong have been conducted, the competitiveness of overall Chinese major ports has been little studied. In this paper, we analyzed competitiveness level of eight Chinese ports with capabilities as container terminal, based on reliable sources. From data analysis, eight Chinese ports were classified into four groups according to competitiveness level. Rankings among four clusters based on competitiveness level are cluster(Hone Kong), cluster C(Shanghai), cluster A(Qingdao, Tianjin, and Yantian) and cluster D(Dalian, Shekou, and Xiamen).

Ningbo Port develops quickly in recent years and with the combination of Ningbo Port and Zhoushan Port, it becomes another important port in the Shanghai International Shipping center. Competition between the two biggest ports in this area can't be avoided. The goal of this paper is investigating the competence of port from two angles, which are spatial structure of the ports cluster and neighboring ports' attraction to cargoes at conjunct hinterlands. The paper firstly uses the HHI index model and shift-share method to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the data of container throughputs of ports in the shipping center, in order that investigates the spatial structure of ports cluster. Basing on above researches, the paper employs the location quotient to study Shanghai port and Ningbo port's hinterland distributions at Zhejiang province. The conclusion of this study:(I)the ports cluster of the Shanghai International Shipping Center is highly centralized, and undergoes a porcess of first centralization then decentralization since the mid of 90s, last century. (2)Hinterlands of Shanghai port includes: Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou and Quzhou districts; Hinterlands of Ningbo port includes: Ningbo, Taizhou and Zhoushan districts.

In port management, the scale of facilities and port layouts are major factors characterizing the port, which influence port economics and productivities continuously through the port operation. Grouping ports in certain region by their characteristics could be used as the principal informations to establish national policy for port development or investment and also to analyze the competitiveness between ports. Currently Korean ports are divided into two groups such as the local port and the designated port containing foreign trade port and coastal port under the Korean port law. These divisions seem to be used for port administration as the matter of convenience but some qualitative grouping is needed for research of port problems. In this paper, 20 major Korean ports were clustered by the similar characteristics using Fuzzy C-Means and found to be classified 8 qualitative groups.

Incheon Port has many advantages for import of log and timber for furniture. More than 50% of lumber which was imported is through Incheon Port. However, most companies move and set up their business by taking lease of workshop. Because of expensive cost of transportation, it is suggested to construct a lumber Industrial district in the North Port in Incheon. By researching the national plans about the North Port and Incheon Ports, an adequate acquaintance of lumber industry in Incheon has been realized. ills study conducted the economic effect analysis for lumber industry clustering and the necessity of cluster composition is derived. Then effectiveness analysis for lumber industry cluster composition is sequentially operated.
