During the visit, President Kang Jun-seok reviewed the cargo attraction activities of the logistics center, which is entering its second year since opening, and discussed the difficulties faced by Korean companies using the logistics center as well as plans for operational improvements.

The logistics center, located in the Rotterdam port hinterland complex, was directly established by BPA to provide a stable logistics platform for expanding the European export market of Korean small and medium-sized shippers and reducing logistics costs, and began operations in January last year.

The Rotterdam logistics center is the first overseas logistics infrastructure built and operated by BPA as a domestic public port institution. Currently, 15 Korean small and medium-sized export companies are using the center, which also provides additional services such as transportation, customs clearance, and taxation, playing a significant role in supporting exports.

Since its opening, the center has maintained a steady increase in volume and has solidified its position as an eco-friendly smart logistics center, receiving eco-friendly subsidies from the Dutch government.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, stated, “The Rotterdam logistics center will serve as a catalyst supporting stable logistics activities for our companies entering Europe, and we will continue to secure logistics bases at major overseas ports to stabilize the overseas logistics supply chain for our export companies.”
