The 3rd grand debate will go a step further from the theme of container terminal revitalization discussed in the 1st and 2nd debates last year, focusing on a specialization strategy for Gwangyang Port, specifically on special cargo containers. The event will feature expert presentations and discussions on the roles and opinions of related organizations, with about 150 participants including the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Jeollanam-do Province, Gwangyang City, container terminal operators, shipping companies, cargo owners, transport companies, special cargo container-related companies, and various associations.

Park Seong-hyun, President of Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority, said, “We held grand debates in the first and second halves of last year as a platform to gather and strengthen the wisdom of Gwangyang Port opinion leaders. Through this 3rd debate, we hope that by deeply discussing the specialization plan for special cargo containers, Gwangyang Port can overcome the current crisis and become a global integrated port contributing to the development of the nation and the national economy along with Yeosu Port.”

He added, “The debate will gather valuable opinions from the National Assembly, government, public institutions, shipping and port companies and organizations, and academia to discuss the direction and vision the Authority should pursue. We ask for active efforts in policy development and forming social consensus to revitalize Gwangyang Port.”
