Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority Launches Recruitment for Tenants at Sepung Port Hinterland Site

Targeting 160,000㎡ of Sepung Site Purchased for Expansion of Port Hinterland Complex

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority (President Park Seong-hyun, YGPA) announced that it will recruit tenant companies for the Se-pung Port hinterland site in Gwangyang Port starting from the 13th.

The site announced this time is the Se-pung Industrial Complex site purchased by the authority to expand the Gwangyang Port hinterland complex designation. Among the total purchased area of 330,000㎡, the initially developed area of 160,000㎡ is the target.

The recruitment period is from June 13 to July 22. Applicants should refer to the application guide on the authority’s website, prepare a business plan, and submit it by 3 PM on July 22.

The Se-pung Port hinterland site is located centrally between the Gwangyang district, where POSCO and Gwangyang Port are located, and the Yulchon district, where GS Caltex and Yeosu National Industrial Complex are situated, offering a geographical advantage favorable for businesses linked to regionally specialized industries such as steel and petrochemicals.

Additionally, this site is scheduled to be designated as a Type 1 port hinterland complex next year, reflected in the 4th Comprehensive Plan for Port Hinterland Development.

An official from the authority stated, “The shortage of hinterland complexes in Gwangyang Port had intensified, but this is expected to alleviate the issue to some extent. Through this recruitment announcement, we aim to attract global companies that generate significant cargo volume, contributing to the establishment of a self-sustaining cargo-generating port and job creation.”
