CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION OF BUSAN PORT IN

SOUTH KOREA

1.1 General information

BUSAN

PORT AUTHORITY

Figure 1: Logo of Busan port (Source: busanpa.com website) a) Geographic location

Situated at the southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula, Busan Port (35°04'42"N, 129°01'01"E) serves as a major gateway connecting the Pacific Ocean and Eurasian

continent It is the primary port in Korea and the world's 6th largest container port

as of 2019 Busan Port benefits from optimal conditions that make it a world-class port, such as the protection provided by the surrounding mountains and islets, its relatively narrow tidal range and its ideal location adjacent to 3 major arterial sea

routes

b) History of information and development

The Port of Busan was established in 1876 as a small port with strict trading between Korea, China and Japan It is situated at the mouth of the Nakdong River

facing the Tsushima Island of Japan During the Korean War (1950-1953), Busan was among the few places North Korea did not invade, causing war refugees to flee

to the city of Busan At that time Busan's port was crucial to receive war materials and aid, such as fabrics and processed foods to keep the economy stable In the

Group 5 - GMAII Page 1

1970s, a rise in the footwear and veneer industries caused factory workers to

migrate to Busan, bringing Busan's population from 1.8 million to 3 million

Currently the Port of Busan is the fifth busiest container port in the world and the tenth busiest port in North-east Asia It is developed, managed, and operated by the Busan Port Authority (BPA) established in 2004 Today the Port of Busan consists

of four ports- North Port, South Port, Gamcheon Port, and Dadaepo Port, an International Passenger Terminal and the Gamman container terminal The North

Port provides passenger handling facilities and cargo, and with Gamcheon Port's help more cargo volumes can be handled (Ship Technology) The South Port is home to the Busan Cooperative Fish Market which is the largest fishing base in

Korea, and it handles 30% of the total marine volume The Dadaepo Port located west of the Busan Port, mainly handles coastal catches

In 2007 the Busan Port handled cargo containing fertilizers, meat, scrap metal, petroleum and other gases, crude petroleum, coal, leather, fats and oils, tron ore, rough wood, natural sand, milling industry products, and sugar In 2016, South Korea exported a total of $515B and imported $398B Top exports of South Korea are integrated circuits, cars, refined petroleum, passenger and cargo ships, and vehicle parts South Korea exports the most to China, the United States, Vietnam,

Hong Kong, and Japan Imports to South Korea mainly come from China, Japan,

the United States, Germany, and other Asian countries In 2017 Busan processed more than 20 million TEU, twenty-foot equivalents (a measure used to estimate the capacity of container ships)

The port is part of the Maritime Silk Road that runs from the Chinese coast towards

the southern tip of India to Mombasa, from there through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean and there to the Upper Adriatic region of Trieste with its rail connections to Central and Eastern Europe

The current traffic volumes and urban population categorize Busan as a Large-Port

Metropolis, using the Southampton system of port-city classification

Figure 2: Panoramic view of Busan Port

(Source: busanpa.com website) Busan Port was opened in 1407 as Busan-po Since the imitial construction of a wharf in 1906, the port has undergone continuous development It has now been

transformed into a modern-day port with an international passenger ferry terminal

and 9 container terminals across 4 locations: New Port, Buk-hang (North Port), Gamcheon-hang (Gamcheon Port) and Dadaepo-hang (Dadaepo Port)

Busan Port currently has 40.1 kilometers of quay walls which can accommodate up

to 135 vessels and a loading and unloading capacity of over 300 million tons of cargo each year As the volume of the cargo containers passing through Busan Port steadily increases each year, the city is now working on a project to construct Busan New Port, capable of berthing a total of 61 vessels simultaneously with an annual handling capacity of 35 million TEU The city plans to complete Busan New Port

by 2040

Hinterland Transportation are carried to ODCYs in the downtown, which creates

heavy traffic jams, air pollution and noise However, the Busan New Port is designed to carry container cargoes by dedicated railways and roads which are in the suburb of Busan City, so there 1s no traffic jams, air pollution, and noise The

“Hinterland Road 1”, with a length of 23 km between the Busan New Port and the Chojeong interchange, which connects to the Seoul-Busan Expressway and the

Group 5 - GMAII Page 4

Namhae Expressway, was completed in 2009 The “Hinterland Road 2” with length

of 17.1 km between the Busan New Port and the Jillye interchange, which also connects to the Seoul-Busan Expressway and the Namhae Expressway, will be

completed in 2011 The “Hinterland Railway”, with length of 38.8 km between the

Busan New Port and the Samrangjin, which connects to the Seoul-Busan

Expressway, will be completed tn 2011 All the three hinterland roads start from the

Busan New Port, run through non-residential areas, and connect to the Seoul-Busan Expressway and the Namhae Expressway The “Port Hinterland Road”, with length

of 25 km between the Busan New Port and the Busan North Port, will be completed

in 2011 The “Port Hinterland Road” runs through the South Port Bridge (already completed) and the North Port Bridge (will be completed in 2011), before arriving the BusanNorth Port, and runs through the Gwangan-Daero Bridge after the Busan North Port and connects to the Seoul-Busan Expressway The “Port Hinterland Road” is designed to run outside of the Busan City by construction bridges over the

seas to avoid traffic jams and air pollution
