Purpose - The Korean government has devised intermodal transportation policies and granted subsidies to shippers and logistics companies that made a conversion of transportation means through the policies. This provides support by expanding the complex uniform railroad transportation and overhauling the deteriorated railroad facilities. As for 2013, however, the freight transportation percentage of railroad was 4.5% in tons and 8.5% in ton kilometers. Meanwhile, since the 1990s, developed countries such as the U.S. and Europe have been trying to expand intermodal freight transport with a legal and institutional support to build a logistics system corresponding with social and economic environmental changes. In this study, I set out to examine the effects of the intermodal freight transport policies in the EU and the U.S., and to explore the direction of setting up a rail intermodal transport system in South Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - The paper used a qualitative research methodology through the literature review. First, was an overview of Intermodal transportation in the EU, U.S. and UN. Second, it describes the development of transport in Europe and the U.S. with particular emphasis on intermodal freight transport. Third, it explores the direction of setting up a intermodal freight transport in South Korea. The last section contains concluding remarks. Results - As for the EU, it has been promoting integration between transport and intermodal logistics network designs while utilizing ITS or ICT and supports for rail freight intermodal by giving reduction to a facilities fee or subsidizing for rail freight in order to minimize the cost of external due to freight transport. On the other hand, as for the U.S., it has been made up of an industrial-led operating project and has been promoting it to improve accessibility between intermodal hubs and cargo terminals through intermodal corridor program, and an intermodal cargo hub access corridor projects, etc. Moreover, it has tried to construct intermodal transport system using ITS or ICT and to remove Barrier. As a result, in these countries, the proportion of intermodal freight transport is going to be the second significant transport compared with rail and maritime transport. An Effective rail intermodal transport system is needed in South Korea, as seen in the case of these countries. In order to achieve this object, the following points are required to establish radical infrastructure policy; diversify investment financing measures taken under public-private partnerships, legal responsibilities, improvement of utilization of existing facilities to connect the railway terminal and truck terminal, and enhancement service competitiveness through providing cargo tracking and security information that combines the ITS and ICT. Conclusions - This study will be used as a basis for policy and support for intermodal freight transport in South Korea. In the future, it is also necessary to examine from the perspective of the shipper companies using the rail intermodal transport, ie, recognition of shipper, needed institutional supports, and transportation demand forecasting and cost-effective analysis of the railway infrastructure systems improvement.

The continuing pace of technological change and the trend toward larger and faster ships is evident as shipping lines compete in seeking economies of scale in the global market and ports. become increasingly reliant on sophisticated equipment. Across the Asia and Pacific region some of the worlds most modern container ships are calling at an extensive network of mainline and feeder ports. This paper shows that during the period from 1999 to 2011, Asian container trade is expected to continue to increase more rapidly than the world average, i.e., 7.2 per cent per annum compared with the world average of 6.3 per cent. It is forecast that the total volumes of international containers handled at the ports in Asia and the Pacific will increase at an average growth rate of 7,2 per cent per annum. In order to handle the anticipated port container traffic in 2011, new container berths are required in nearly every country in the Asia and the Pacific region. This will entail very significant capital investment requirements. If countries in the UNESCAP region are to position their ports to meet the challenges of the next decade, there is an urgent need to implement more robust strategies to address important issues including prioritisation of port development projects, promotion of private sector participation in ports, emphasis on productivity and preparation for intermodal integration and logistics growth.

한중, 한일, 중일간의 FTA에 대한 관심과 노력은 보다 효율적이고 합리적인 운송서비스의 개설을 요구하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 추세에 부응하며 운송 서비스의 고효율화를 위해 제시하고자 하는 방안이 열차페리이다. 특히 서해안지역항만과 중국의 주요항만을 연계하고 아울러 한일간의 열차페리 운영을 통해 한중일간의 통합물류체계의 구축이 가능하다. 본 연구는 동 서비스에 대한 기초 연구로써 그 의미를 지니고 있으나 지속적이고 구체적인 후속연구가 필요하다. 특히 한중일 간의 열차페리는 TAR의 노선 연계의 방안으로 TKR이 북측노선을 우회하여 나머지 아시안 및 유럽항만들과 연계가 가능하며 중국과 일본, 한국의 국내 물류비용에 관한 경쟁력의 제고도 가능할 것이다. 특히 한중일은 열차노선의 궤도가 동일하며 FTA 추진이나 2, 3차 산업제품중심의 교역구조로의 전환에 따른 운임 부담력이 높은 화물의 교역량의 증대 등으로 실현 가능성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 특히 기존의 해상 운송 중심의 복합운송을 철도와 해상운송이 연계된 효율적인 복합운송체계의 구축을 통해 한반도의 동북아 물류중심국가 발전에 공헌 할 수 있는 방안으로 활용해야 할 것이다.

1997년 일본 교토에서 180여개국이 교토의정서에 서명을 하였다. 1990년 기준 2008년까지 전체 배기가스를 5% 감축하자는 것이 주요 내용이다. 이를 위해서는 선박이나 철도와 같은 친환경적인 운송수단이 필요하다. 도로를 이용한 물류수단은 높은 물류비용, 공기오염, 그린가스, 사고 등이 점차 증가하고 있는 시점에서 새로운 운송수단 즉, 빠르고, 정확하고, 안전하고, 친환경적인 운송수단은 필연적일 것이다. 한국은 철도 수송은 가장 인기있는 수송수단가운데 하나이다. 물류환경이 변화하는 시점에서 가장 중요한 효율을 도출할 수 있으며, 비용도 감축할 수 있다. 이러한 친환경적 물류방법을 도입하기 위해서는 기존의 물류정책, 즉 정부의 지원, 물류인력의 양성, 경쟁력 제고 등의 방법과 SCM을 통합할 수 있는 새로운 기업 시스템 즉, M-SCM(Intermodal Shift SCM)이 필요한 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 M-SCM을 도입하기 위해 그 문제점과 대응방안을 제시하고 있다.
