To promote the project, the Authority signed an agreement in May 2022 with the Yeosu Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, which conducted the basic and detailed design services, and obtained approval for the project implementation plan in February 2023, thereby starting to secure sites for the complex logistics manufacturing facilities at Gwangyang Port.

Furthermore, the Authority stated that it will thoroughly manage the project to prevent any safety accidents and continue the record of zero accidents at the Gwangyang Port construction site.

Choi Sang-heon, Vice President of the Development Project Headquarters, said, “Through the construction of the northern hinterland complex at Gwangyang Port, we will contribute to securing the insufficient hinterland and increasing cargo volume, thereby contributing to the regional economy.”
