[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Park Wansu, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, took steps on the 30th, the last weekday of 2022, to support young people preparing for independence and to communicate with companies.


On that morning, Governor Park visited American Tray Changwon Sangnam Branch and Hanjin Busan Container Terminal.


According to the province, American Tray, a youth independence challenge project group of the Changwon Regional Self-Support Center, has been operating since the end of October to provide stable jobs and social adaptation by involving young people preparing for independence, supported by Hyundai Wia and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation.


Governor Park toured the workplaces of young people preparing for independence, encouraged the youth and officials, and listened to their difficulties.


He said, “We will continue to strive to help young people preparing for independence become reliable members of our society by supporting their stable independence and establishing a welfare support system without blind spots.”


Following this, Governor Park visited Hanjin Busan Container Terminal at Busan New Port.


The province explained that Hanjin Busan Container Terminal opened in 2009 as the only domestic operator at Busan New Port and has handled a cumulative cargo volume of over 30 million TEUs to date.


It was the first domestic port to introduce an automated yard system and possesses world-class cargo handling capacity, capable of accommodating ultra-large container ships of 2000 TEU class.


Governor Park inspected the port logistics facilities and heard from officials about the current logistics response status and opinions from the logistics industry.



“Ports are crucial places responsible for handling most of South Korea’s import and export cargo, thus supporting the national economy,” he said. “We will foster the currently operating Busan New Port and the future Jinhae New Port as new economic growth engines for Gyeongnam.”
