Since Korea has excellent port infrastructure and competitive petrochemical complexes, there is plenty of potential for creating an oil hub in Northeast Asia. In particular, Ship-to-Ship (STS), which creates high added values, contributes greatly to the national economy. In this study, the liquid cargo volumes of chemical industrial products, refined petroleum products, and crude oil were analyzed at the national and regional (Busan, Ulsan, and Yeosu/Gwangyang) levels. Additionally, a Granger causality analysis was performed between imports, exports, and transshipments, in pairs. ADF, PP, and KPSS were analyzed for the unit root test. In addition, the VAR model and expanded VAR model suggested by Toda and Yamamoto were used for further analyses. Findings revealed a difference in Granger causality depending on the region or cargo type. These findings suggest that policies and incentive schemes for ports need to be differentiated according to the region and cargo types. In addition, the different patterns in the relationship between transshipments and import-export petrochemical cargoes should be considered.

Ports in Korea have been increasing in terms of volume while they have performed functions and roles such as industrial ports in promoting industries of their hinterlands as well as commercial ports supporting imports and exports. Nevertheless, specialization degree is different from port to port by cargo type and the changes in cargo volume. This study aims to analyze the structural changes and the degree of concentration and specialization by cargo type and port between 2001 and 2020. Top 10 ports were analyzed in terms of traffic volume by categorizing liquid, dry, general cargo and containers. HHI(Herfindahl-Hirschman Index), LQ(Location Coefficient), and shift-share analysis were employed in order to identify the degree of concentration, specialization and changes in cargo volume by port and cargo type. As a result of the analysis, the degree of port concentration and specialization for each cargo of 4 categories have maintained a high level, and no significant difference were found in fluctuations over the past 20 years. As a result of calculating the flucation of cargo volume through the shift-share analysis, the growth rate of liquid cargo was high in Yeosu Gwangyang Port, Pyeongtaek Dangjin Port in dry cargo, and Busan Port in general cargo and container ports. The result implies that it is not expected that the structural changes including degree of cargo concentration, specialization and relative fluctuation of cargo volume is significant in Korean ports in the future since the effects of economies of scale and clustering were achieved to the great degree.

Until now, the development of design and operation model for automated container terminals has been mainly performed based on the western ports model, specializing in basic loading, and discharging operations. In the case of the Busan port, terminal operators provide basic stevedoring, as well as an additional logistics service known as 'On Dock Service' not suitable for the currently commercialized automated container terminal model. This study diagnosed the current Busan port's throughput structure and terminal operational characteristic, and proposed a modified perpendicular layout container terminal transport model named 'Interchange Transport Model' for effective management of empty container and operation costs. Although the 'Interchange Transport Model' requires an additional number of transport equipment (AGV), concerning operational efficiency and cost saving, a simulation showed 22% reduction of TAT and 9.4% reduction of annual terminal operational costs in comparison to the basic perpendicular layout model.

As domestic logistics environment has changed into global logistics, various logistics parties are participating in processing logistics business. Goods is packed into container and delivered to consignee in steps. The goods may be damaged or lost since it has not directly delivered to consignee by single entity during the delivery process. Therefore, all parties want to know the flow of export/import cargos. However, it is very difficult to follow cargo flow consistently delivered from consignor to consignee. Because cargo flow does not be matched up information flow and information systems are based on neither standard business processes nor standard data, which makes it very difficult to associate logistics data among various logistic parties. This paper performs business process modeling for cargo tracking with international standard modeling methodology released by UN/CEFACT. And then, the standard data is defined for cargo tracking business process of unified and integrated business collaboration. The resulting business process model and data model will support international interoperability.

This study suggests a development direction by comparing the cargo throughput of the port of Yeosu-Gwangyang during 2007-2015 with that of domestic ports. It derived a concentration index (HHI) of cargo throughput in domestic ports by Yeosu-Gwangyang port docks, shipping companies, and abroad regions. The main results were as follows. First, in terms of total cargo handled, the port of Yeosu-Gwangyang was second only to the port of Busan, and the HHIs for the past nine years were relatively low. Second, the port of Yeosu-Gwangyang ranked first for total import and export cargo throughput, showing relatively stable HHIs from 2007 to 2015. Third, the HHIs of container handling performance by national shipping companies showed stable levels below 1,800. Fourth, there were no regions where cargo volume was noticeably concentrated in the port of Yeosu-Gwangyang, and it showed cargo throughput across various abroad regions. While changes in national shipping companies are expected after the Hanjin Shipping Crisis, there should be no serious concern regarding the dependence of the port of Yeosu-Gwangyang. It is expected to develop further by realizing the full use of all its facilities, diversifying the tenants in the Yeosu-Gwangyang area, and improving the demurrage rate.

The purpose of this study is to suggest new methods for evaluating the benefits of a preliminary feasibility study for port construction. For this purpose, this study analyzes the problem of barge loading and unloading systems, and suggests new methods such as using neighboring same kinds of ports first. The study also estimates the benefits for ports that have been evaluated by the existing theory, using the newly suggested methods. The result suggests that there is a possibility to reduce the level of economic feasibility for both general and container-exclusive ports by applying the newly suggested methods.

The steel industry, as the national representative strategic industry of our country, has played the motive power for the economic growth of Korea in 1970s as the positive support of the government and the management endeavor of the private were harmonized. However, in case of our country, we have mostly relied on import of the raw materials for the steel industry, and as the weight of the imported raw materials is heavy, the steel industry is the industry whose transport burden is big as it is called 'transport industry'. So, the transport rationalization will be the important task of the steel industry. This study has analyzed the economic efficiency per the transport route (container ship vs bulk ship) of the sea transport related to import/export of the steel scrap on the level acquiring the stable supply of the steel scrap. For this, this study firstly researched the status of domestic/foreign steel industry. And analyzed the world crude steel production volume, steel scrap consumption volume and world steel scrap trading structure. Also, in order to compare the transport logistics expenses between two transport devices, namely, container ship and bulk ship, this study calculated the logistics expenses per ton by using the traffic hours and traffic expenses items as the imported/exported scrap freights of 'D' company.

과거의 터미널은 사회 간접자본으로서 수출입 화물을 처리하는 항만의 기능을 중요시하여 왔다. 하지만 21세기를 맞이하는 지금에 와서는 고부가가치를 창출하여 내는 전략산업으로서 보다 많은 이익을 위해 터미널의 효율적인 운영을 필요로 한다. 그러므로 터미널 종합 관제 시스템은 보다 지능화 되어 터미널에서 발생하는 문제들에 시스템 스스로 이에 대한 해결책을 만들어 내고 이를 실제의 운영에 반영할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 하지만 현재의 터미널에 도입되어 있는 시스템은 단순히 현재의 터미널 상황을 모니터링 하는 수준에 그치고 있다. 시스템에서 자동적으로 문제를 검출하고 해결하기보다는 어떤 문제가 발생하였을 시 문제가 생긴 상황을 파악하는 용도로서만 이용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서 기술하고자 하는 지능형 종합 관제 시스템은 이러한 용도를 넘어서 시스템 스스로 문제 상황을 파악하고 이에 대한 해결책을 시스템이 스스로 찾아내고 이를 직접 지시하여 터미널에 발생한 문제들을 해결하여 주는 시스템이다.
