Hanjin Secures IGDC Global Import and Export Volume... "Port Logistics Competitiveness Up"

Hanjin announced on the 7th that the Incheon Global Distribution Center (IGDC) at Incheon New Port, which opened in October last year, continues to show steady growth.

IGDC was established to build a global logistics service foundation and enhance the competitiveness of port logistics services. It is located on a 75,100m² site with a total floor area of 26,563m². It is the largest large-scale global logistics hub among companies located in the Incheon New Port hinterland complex.

In May, the container throughput at IGDC increased by more than 20% compared to November last year, right after its opening. It has been steadily growing since its opening, recording an average monthly growth rate of about 5%.

Currently, IGDC has attracted clients handling a variety of items ranging from clothing, electronics, and furniture to heavy equipment and machinery. The range of handled items is expected to expand further. In the future, through the linkage of cargo volumes with HJIT (Hanjin Incheon Container Terminal) located near IGDC, it is expected to establish itself as a logistics hub that can create added value in the import-export logistics market.

In addition to IGDC, Hanjin is building the Samsung Electronics Logistech Incheon Logistics Center on approximately 33,000 pyeong of owned land near Incheon Port. This logistics center will be used as a major logistics hub for the transportation of import-export containers for domestic sales and overseas exports of home appliances.

A Hanjin official said, “With the opening of IGDC, our company’s port logistics service competitiveness is increasing. We will continue to provide stable port logistics services to customers and enhance logistics convenience to establish ourselves as a leading import-export logistics hub in Korea.”
