Because of a recent trend of the open and globalized world economy, international trade is getting bigger and there is a trade competition among many countries, resulting in competition between harbor industries. Therefore, as hub-port development of China, Japan and Taiwan is more actively progressing than any other times, Korea should prepare a powerful management system to take the initiative over them. Above all, a new recognition of the governmental officers in charge of political management about hub-port industry and early development of the northeast hub-port are needed. To maximize its distinctiveness from competitive ports, port sale should be actively managed. As well, as port functions are diverse, accompanied site development should be prepared. In conclusion, in order to improve functions of a port and develop the port as a general complex of physical distribution, the government should encourage the accompanied site development and support preparation of a customs-free area and a general system of physical distribution.

The port environment is rapidly changing in North-East Asia. Containerships are getting larger and faster and major shipping companies are converting to Hub & Spoke port networks on the transport systems. Therefore, the main ports in North-East Asia are intensively competing with each other for hub port. In terms of geopolitical position, locational conditions and external reputation of ports, Busan and Kwangyang ports have a comparative advantage in comparison with main ports in other countries. But in terms of weight of transshipment cargos in total container cargos, the quality of infrastructure in ports, the environment of logistics service and the cost of, using ports, Busan and Kwangyang ports have a comparative disadvantage. For the growth into hub port in North-East Asia, it is necessary that Busan and Kwangyang ports improve their weakness. Besides It is necessary to develope ports and hinterland quickly, offer uniformity of foreign investment laws and incentive systems.

Major companies in USA, Europe and Japan as well as even China and Russia put more overseas investment in Asian regions than before, while northeast Asian regional trade gets more attractive and important under the influence of China's super-speed economic growth. Possibly, it is expected that such ever-increasing gravity of regional trade will help spotlight the importance of local trade route considerably. In particular, northeast Asian region's economic briskness and step-up in international economic partnerships will expectedly contribute to much boosting up the quantity of goods transported via local coasting route. Thus, it is advisable that both Busan New port specialize in dealing with freights via East Sea rim, while Gwangyang port specialize in dealing with freights via Yellow Sea rim. Furthermore, it is required that both ports share some of their own roles as hub port and hub & spoke port respectively, so that both of them can be devoted to stepping up into northeast Asian hub ports.

The goal of the project on developing Korea as the logistics hub of Northeast Asia is to develop Busan Port and Gwangyang Port as international logistics centers by promoting and attracting more warehouses. As is well known, there is intense competition among ports located in major economic blocs to become the regional logistics hub. Gwangyang is second to none in terms of being favorably located at the center of Northeast Asia. Gwangyang Port, however, lacked in SOC construction and faced the poor government support politics hub of Northeast Asia. They are i) expanding the logistics infrastructuressuch as expressway and railroads between Yeosu Airport and Gwangyang Port, ii) Setting up new port hinterland and industrial complex in the vicinity of Gwangyang Port iii) securing high value-added fixed cargo traffic, and iv) improving laws and institutions.

As China, the world's work shop was transformed into consumption market intermediary products and expensive consumer goods are more in highly demand recently. These will tend to diffuse especially to the west coastal cities of China. The economic growth of China needs to develop hub port facilities more and more in these days. We don't need to explain value of hub port in international trade. Furthermore If we are to retain access convenience of merchant vessel we really must maintain hub ports in Korea. This paper aims to vitalize Pyeongtaek port in times of the Pan Yellow Sea in readiness for an increase of trade between Korean, China, and Japan absorbing economic effects. The Rise of China leads to increase of trade of Korea that make necessary to develop a big and wide port to Pan Yellow Sea times. There is a lot of competition to be a hub port to become a center of international trade in the Pan Yellow Sea market.

1990년대 이후 세계경제흐름의 한 가지 특징으로 개방화 및 지역경제통합의 확대를 꼽을 수 있다. 이로 인해 세계경제권은 유럽연합(EU)을 중심으로 하는 유럽경제권, 미국을 중심으로 하는 아메리카 경제권, 그리고 최근에 급부상하고 있는 중국을 중심으로한 동북아 경제권이라는 삼극체제로 재편되고 있다. 이러한 세계경제의 조류와 동북아의 현실 그리고 사상 최대의 항만개발 프로젝트를 수행하고 있는 중국과 자국항만의 경쟁력 회복을 위해 획기적인 항만정책을 도입하고 있는 일본의 움직임 상황을 감안할 때 우리나라도 이에 대한 선도적, 능동적 대책마련이 절실하고 시급한 과제라고 사료된다. 본 연구는 문헌연구의 방법을 통해서 먼저 Hub-Port의 개념과 조건을 제시하고, 동북아 경쟁국의 Hub-Port 발전전략을 논술하며, 이를 위해서 부산항과 일본의 혼슈(시모노세키항)와 규수(키타규수항) 사이에 위치하는 한 일해협경제권의 발전 잠재력과 전략적 협력을 통한 한 일 공동 발전을 모색하는 것이 본고의 목적이다.

As the throughout of transshipment oil cargo in Korea has been increasing, the importance and competition of the oil hub port has also been increasing. The aim of this study is to suggest how the factors influence the competitiveness of the oil hub port based on the specialists' opinions. For doing this, the evaluating factors were obtained from both previous studies and brainstorming of the professionals from the oil hub port. These were divided into groups by the ‘KJ method' according to 5 criteria and were made into a 3 level hierarchy structure. The ‘AHP method' identified the relative importance of factors and trends from the preferences of the specialists. This study presents the factors influencing the competitiveness of the oil hub port.

Many countries in the North East Asia are competing with each other in order to become a centre of international logistics activities. The competition to become a hub port in Far East region is now fierce. The anticipated investments on improving port facilities and attracting the mega carriers are immense for all the ports in the region and the extent of the effort could cripple the local ports and region's economy given the limited financial resources. It is, however, impossible to avoid the disastrous possibility that the massive investments could be channeled into the port, which will never become a hub port, as no port is ready to currently admit defeat and settle as a small regional port. In an attempt to minimise such disastrous waste of resources, ports need to verify the eligibility of their own. This paper tests a system dynamics model using the Port of Busan to understand and illustrate the principle guideline of investment decision making for ports.
