[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Daewoo Logistics Container Common Terminal has opened in Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.

Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 24th that it held the opening ceremony of Daewoo Logistics Container Common Terminal, the largest shareholder of DWL Global.

About 50 people attended the opening ceremony, including Kim Inho, CEO of Daewoo Logistics, Kim Byungkyu, Deputy Governor for Economy of Gyeongsangnam-do, Jeong Hyunseop, Director of Economic and Job Creation Bureau of Changwon City, Kim Kiyoung, Commissioner of Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority, and company officials.

According to Gyeongsangnam-do, DWL Global is the first Korea-Russia-Japan joint venture involving Korea's Daewoo Logistics, Japan's Nippon Service, and Russia's Yuzhmolyflot.

It is also a foreign-invested company that signed an investment agreement for the establishment of a logistics center with the province, Changwon City, and Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority on July 20.

They plan to invest 55 billion KRW in the first phase of the Ungdong Backland Complex in Jinhae-gu to establish a logistics center with an area of 79,769㎡ and create more than 200 new jobs.

According to the province, there were difficulties due to oversaturation of container wharf storage yards within the New Port of Busan.

To resolve this, a temporary storage yard for export cargo was operated, but its operating hours were short, and since floor construction and electrical facilities were not equipped, it was unable to handle refrigerated and frozen container cargo, causing difficulties for export companies in cargo loading and unloading.

To solve this, Daewoo Logistics was selected as the operator of the public storage yard through a public contest held by Busan Port Authority, and invested 4 billion KRW to build a state-of-the-art common terminal in the Nammun-dong area.

The Daewoo Logistics Container Common Terminal is equipped with floor construction and electrical facilities, CCTV, night operation lighting facilities, and safety and IT operation systems.

It can handle up to 3,580 TEU (20-foot containers) per day and operates 365 days a year without holidays.

On weekdays, it is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on weekends and holidays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Deputy Governor Kim Byungkyu said, “With the establishment of this common terminal, we expect to resolve difficulties faced by cargo owners and logistics companies and contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of companies and national exports.” He added, “We will continue to pay close attention and provide support for the successful settlement of resident companies in the future.”
