As of 2022, BPA is the world’s second-largest transshipment port handling 22.07 million TEU of container cargo, and compared to other port authorities (PA), it has a large business scale in all fields including port logistics, port operations, port construction, and North Port redevelopment, with a considerable workload requiring communication with the private sector per employee.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “Due to the nature of the institution, which has a higher workload communicating with the private sector compared to other PAs, we will continuously strive to protect the human rights of internal employees so that conflicts or disputes among internal employees do not spread to external stakeholders and that we always respond warmly and kindly to realize customer-first management.”
