BPA and Busan Port Construction Office Sign Agreement on Management of New Port Dredged Soil Disposal Site
Busan Port Authority (BPA) signed a "Management Agreement for Busan New Port Dredged Soil Disposal Site (Zone 1, Zone 2)" with the Busan Port Construction Office (Bugeonso) on the 27th to timely supply the Busan Port Jinhae New Port container terminal and efficiently manage port facilities.
A dredged soil disposal site is a site used to handle dredged soil generated during dredging processes to secure water depth, which undergoes reclamation and is later utilized as land for various projects.
The Busan New Port dredged soil disposal site is a port facility with a total length of 4.25 km, developed by Bugeonso over eight years from June 2012 to June 2020, with a total project cost of 199.5 billion KRW.
The Zone 1 disposal site, covering an area of 1.75 million square meters, has completed 100% of dredged soil disposal, while the 1.05 million square meters Zone 2 disposal site is approximately 68% completed. After the completion of dredged soil disposal, the site will be utilized for the Jinhae New Port container terminal and port hinterland complex.
The dredged soil disposal site zones developed and managed by Bugeonso significantly overlap with the area planned by BPA for the upcoming "Jinhae New Port Container Terminal (Phase 1-1) Substructure Construction Project."
Bugeonso and Busan Port Authority agreed on the need to rationally adjust the management zones and scope of work to efficiently manage the disposal site and smoothly advance the container terminal construction project.
Through this agreement, the two organizations clearly defined detailed work scopes such as port facility inspection, pest control, handling of civil complaints, and control of disposal situations.
