President of Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group Visits Busan Port

Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Song Sangkeun) announced that on the 27th, a delegation led by Wang Zheng, President of Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group in China, visited Busan Port.

This visit was arranged to exchange opinions on key issues such as global supply chain stability and eco-friendly port operations, and to seek ways to strengthen cooperation between the two ports. During the meeting held at the BPA headquarters, the main focus was on sharing information and discussing mutual cooperation measures for sustainable port development.

Since signing a sister port agreement in 2015, Busan Port and Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group have maintained continuous exchanges. In 2023, former chairman Mao Jianhong visited BPA.

Ningbo Port has strengths in import and export logistics, while Busan Port is competitive in handling large volumes of transshipment cargo. The cooperation between the two ports is expected to provide a foundation for more stable and efficient port services.

Song Sangkeun, President of Busan Port Authority, said, "The two ports have been trusted partners for a long time," adding, "I hope this visit will serve as an opportunity to achieve tangible cooperation results in future port sectors such as green transition and digitalization."

In 2024, Ningbo Zhoushan Port recorded a total cargo throughput of 1.37 billion tons, maintaining its position as the world's number one port by tonnage for 16 consecutive years. Its container throughput reached 39.3 million TEU, making it the world's third-largest container port after Shanghai Port and Singapore Port.
