Abstract

For a nearly decade Busan has been the pre-dominant force in Northeast Asian port community, but during the last couple of years, several competitors have looked to directly challenge Busan's regional dominance, most notably, northern Chinese ports. Faced with this challenging and formidable trend, Busan has had to respond appropriately to ensure that Busan remains a regional hub well into the 21st century. The aim of this paper is to make some considerations for a regional hub container port in Northeast Asia in response to changes in the shipping industry with particular reference to Korea.

  6. For the trans-Pacific, the New World Alliance has Qingdao in the Guam China Express, which swings through Guam, Naha, then into Qingdao before calling at Busan and a handful of Japanese ports. On the Grand Alliance network, Qingdao gets visited together with Shanghai and Ningbo on the China Korea Express with a 12-day transit time to Los Angeles. CMA-CGM patronises Qingdao with the North China Express service to Europe, which also picks up cargo in Dalian and Tianjin. Evergreen has added Qingdao as a port of call in its second direct service through affiliate Lloyd Triestino. A port rotation of Shanghai, Qingdao, Busan, Hakata, Nagoya, Tacoma, Vancouver, and Shanghai is covered with five ships. Hanjin takes slots on K Line's KPS service which starts in Qingdao, then trades through Shanghai, Kobe, Nagoya, Tokyo, Long Beach, Oakland, Nagoya, and Qingdao〱㘵ⴰㄱ㐀㈶㌀
  7. For those ports that have been deselected as ports of call, resulting from the formation of Alliances/mergers and hub and spoke strategies there is often a double negative impact. Firstly, there can be a huge loss of business resulting from the loss of a particular carrier. Secondly, if it is not replaced there is resulting overcapacity that can itself prove to be costly

The total cost includes a basic lift rate, marshalling, and the average cost of supplementary services(e.g., overtime, hatch cover operations, re-handling charges, weighing fees). These supplementary fees can exceed 40 percent of the basic charge
