A Study on the Transportation Status of Inter-terminal Transshipment(ITT) in Busan Port

Busan Port is not only separated into North Port and New Port, but is also consists of more than one terminal operators in each port; therefore, the utilization of the entire port is relatively low. This is a significant factor that causes inevitable Inter-terminal Transshipment(ITT) and increases operational inefficiencies. To solve these problems, many public entities such as the Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Busan Port Authority, and local government have been trying effort through various policies and projects. However, the inefficiency of Busan Port is still being raised. The optimal solution is to integrate the terminal operators by the port but it is difficult in reality since the integration takes a long time in any way. As such, there is a need to prepare a plan to improve the efficiency of ITT in the short- to mid-term perspective while maintaining various existing policies and projects in the current situation of Busan Port. Therefore, this study recommends that the current weight limitation of trucks should be increased from 44 tons to 50 tons with firm restrictions such as pre-registered truck, reserved road sector between terminals in a port, and ITT container. According to the result, the annual total ITT cost could be reduced by 8.1% and the air pollution can be also reduced by 10% of CO2, 6% of NOx, and 1% of PM in the Busan New Port area(Gangseo-gu). In other words, the reduction in the number of ITT is expected to have socio-economic effects such as cost reduction for shipping companies and air pollution reduction for local communities.
