BPA Actively Works on Facility Improvements for Normal Operation of Singamman Pier

‘Jaseongdae Pier,’ the first container ship-exclusive pier in Korea, will cease its container functions within this year after 46 years of operation and relocate to new terminals (Singamman Pier and Gamman Pier Berth 1) for continued operations.

Busan Port Authority (BPA) is investing approximately 11.5 billion KRW in total project costs to support Korea Hutchison Terminal in smoothly handling cargo and port operations at the new terminals. Expansion projects, including additional office space and parking lots for port workers, are currently underway. Detailed design implementation is scheduled to be completed by the end of January 2025, with the entire project expected to finish within 2026.

Additionally, maintenance work will be carried out to create a comfortable working environment by remodeling outdated rest areas, sanitary facilities, and worker waiting rooms to enhance the convenience and welfare of port workers.

Lee Sang-kwon, Head of Construction at BPA, stated, “To successfully complete the second phase of the North Port redevelopment project, we will establish a collaborative system with the operating company to promptly implement facility improvements and ensure the first pier relocation is completed smoothly and securely.”
