Busan Port Authority (BPA) Strives to Normalize Export-Import Logistics Functions at Busan Port

A terminal operator and officials from Busan Port Authority (BPA) are inspecting Busan Port.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) conducted a comprehensive on-site inspection to promptly normalize the export-import logistics functions of Busan Port following the end of the Cargo Solidarity Union's general strike around 10:40 PM on the 14th.

BPA President Kang Jun-seok visited the New Port and North Port sites of Busan Port on the 15th, meeting with terminal operators to jointly inspect the quay status.

He directly identified necessary support measures to normalize smooth import and export cargo inflow and outflow logistics functions and urged safe operations at the site.

BPA has been responding to the Cargo Solidarity Union's general strike by operating an emergency response headquarters 24 hours a day.

Although the strike has ended, BPA plans to continue operating the emergency response headquarters until Busan Port returns to normal, supporting the recovery of normal operations as soon as possible by ▲ monitoring container storage rates and import-export volumes ▲ understanding trends by terminal operators ▲ inspecting facilities due to concentrated cargo handling operations, and taking necessary follow-up measures.

Kang Jun-seok, BPA President, said, “It is time for all port workers to unite for the prompt normalization of operations at Busan Port, the world's second-largest transshipment port,” adding, “Since there is a risk of safety being neglected during this process, please actively work to prevent accidents within the workplace.”
