BPA Publishes 2022 Container Cargo Statistics Booklet

Busan Port Authority (BPA) has published the "2022 Busan Port Container Cargo Handling and Transportation Statistics" (Busan Port Statistics Book), which compiles major statistics on container cargo at Busan Port and transportation statistics of major domestic and international ports.

The Busan Port Statistics Book is published annually and distributed to about 200 companies so that various related organizations working at Busan Port, including local governments, shipping companies, terminal operators, and companies in the hinterland complex, can use it as a reference for their work.

The statistics book published this year includes analysis results of Busan Port's container cargo volume using data from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries PORT-MIS statistics, Busan Port Authority chain portal statistics, Busan Port terminal operators, Korea Railroad Corporation, and KMI (Korea Maritime Institute).

The front part of the book uses infographics to allow the general public to easily understand the statistical information and to view the trends of container cargo volume at Busan Port at a glance.

Additionally, a new development plan map and bird's-eye view of the New Port were included, and the current status of Busan Port container facilities, including the newly opened New Port Pier 6 last year, as well as the hinterland complex development plan, were updated.
