Busan Port Authority(BPA), established in January of 2004, as the first port authority in Korea, has made the utmost effort to develop Busan Port into a leading world-class port.

Busan Port, the world's 5th busiest container port and the largest transshipment port in Northeast Asia, is located on the main trunk route, and handles more than 13million TEU annually, through active exchange with 500 ports in 100 countries.



In addition, Busan Port is deep enough to accommodate more than 10,000 TEU container vessels, and provides the best service to customers, through our state-of-the-art facilities, skilled labor force, and excellent feeder network connecting to ports in China, Japan, and Russia

As part of efforts to strengthen Busan Port's competitiveness, the BPA has implemented several essential technologies, such as the U-Port system and speedy screening system.

BPA is also moving forward in its first ever port redevelopment project, which will make significant contributions to the nation's economical development.

BPA is proceeding with the second phase of Busan Port Projects -- Busan New Port Construction Project and Distripark Development Project -- providing support to global logistics companies. Furthermore, BPA is making efforts to attract more cargo by investing in overseas projects, such as Nakhodka Port in Russia, as well as logistics projects in Hunchun and Zarubino in China.
