During this visit, President Song Sanggeun met with Dina Aryan-Zahlan, Deputy Executive Director of Development at the Port of Los Angeles, and held in-depth discussions on cooperation for building eco-friendly ports, digitalizing logistics, and the port development plans of the Port of Los Angeles.


The Port of Los Angeles is recognized as a global leader in digital transformation of port operations and the promotion of green shipping corridors, and is considered one of the most advanced ports in the field of carbon neutrality, which is the greatest challenge for global ports. Busan Port Authority plans to incorporate the Port of Los Angeles' experience into its own eco-friendly and smart port strategies, as well as its plans for connecting overseas bases.



Song Sanggeun, President of BPA, stated, "The Port of Los Angeles is a key logistics hub on the U.S. West Coast, and cooperation with Busan Port is significant for enhancing the logistics competitiveness of both Korea and the United States. We will expand practical cooperation in areas such as the transition to eco-friendly ports, sharing digital information, and collaboration on new port development to realize Busan Port's vision for global port management."
