In response to the request from Busan City, which was invited as the guest of honor to the 834th Hamburg Port Festival (May 5?7) held to commemorate the 140th anniversary of Korea-Germany diplomatic relations, BPA plans to participate in the festival as the entity responsible for the redevelopment, management, and operation of Busan Port to highlight the port’s status, redevelopment projects, and future directions.

On the 4th, BPA will participate in the Busan Port-Hamburg Port urban development roundtable, and from the 5th to the 7th, it will operate a promotional booth for the Busan Port North Port redevelopment to publicize the progress of Korea’s first port regeneration project.

If the ‘2030 World Expo’ is hosted in the North Port redevelopment area, Busan Port is expected to establish itself as a world-class branded port as the expo venue.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, stated, “We will promote the excellent facilities, operational systems, and Green Port efforts of Busan Port, the world’s second-largest transshipment port, and support the successful bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo by raising international interest and awareness of the Busan Port redevelopment project, while showcasing the charm of Busan as a port city.”

On the 6th, a mutual cooperation agreement for the joint development of the port redevelopment area will be signed among the Busan City consortium, BPA, and HafenCity Corporation.

HafenCity is Europe’s largest urban redevelopment project, transforming the old port area of Hamburg into a cutting-edge city blending residential, cultural, and commercial districts, and is recognized as a world-renowned redevelopment success case.

BPA plans to inspect key facilities within the HafenCity redevelopment area and benchmark its best practices to reference in planning and operating public content for the North Port redevelopment project.
