Railway Idle Land Utilized as 'Win-Win Type Living Logistics Facilities'
Korea Railroad Announces Bidding for Operators at 14 Nationwide Locations... Expanding Participation of Small and Medium Logistics Companies
Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced on the 13th that it will invite applications from operators of small and medium-sized living logistics facilities for idle railway land nationwide.
The sites open for application include 14 idle land locations of over 1,000m² each around stations nationwide in Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang provinces, totaling approximately 65,000m².
This call for applications is a standalone project conducted separately from last month's joint public call led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for the supply of small and medium living logistics facilities utilizing public idle land.
Eligibility includes all logistics companies and distribution businesses such as courier, express delivery, and e-commerce, provided they can operate small-scale logistics facilities like home delivery centers.
Small and medium enterprises and small business owners will be given preferential treatment with additional points during the selection process, and up to three companies can participate jointly.
This project is being promoted following the amendment of the Korea Railroad Corporation Act Enforcement Decree, which expanded the scope of logistics business, aiming to respond to the surge in living logistics demand, expand opportunities for small and medium logistics companies, and strengthen public interest.
The application deadline is the 22nd of next month, and operators will be selected through a review process.
