Busan Port Authority Operates University Student Experience Group at Busan Port Construction Site

Busan Port Authority (BPA) and the Busan Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office Busan Port Construction Office conducted the '2023 Busan Port Construction Site Experience' program twice on the 16th and 19th for university students majoring in construction-related departments at Yeungnam University and Dong-Eui University.

This program aims to provide university students aspiring to become future construction experts with a vivid opportunity to experience how Busan Port, the largest container port in Korea and the 7th largest in the world, is constructed.

Since 2014, BPA has been collaborating with the Busan Port Construction Office to carry out this program. It was suspended from 2020 to 2022 due to COVID-19 and resumed this year.

The experience group received detailed explanations about the port construction process and various special construction methods applied at major construction sites such as the New Port of Busan, one of the world's top two container transshipment hub ports, and the large-scale construction site in the Bukhang redevelopment area, which is being transformed into a citizen relaxation space, and observed the construction status.

Lee Sang-kwon, Head of Construction at BPA, said, “We plan to continue conducting the experience program in cooperation with the Busan Port Construction Office to provide university students with opportunities to experience port construction sites that are usually difficult to access, and to enhance understanding of the excellence of domestic port construction technology and the port logistics industry.”
