Completion of Gamcheon Port General Pier Expansion in Busan... Full-Scale Operation to Begin in Second Half of Year

Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Song Sangkeun) has completed the final inspection for the expansion of the Gamcheon Port general pier and will begin full-scale operations in the second half of the year.

This project was promoted to secure a dedicated general cargo pier to replace North Port Piers 1·2, whose functions ended due to the North Port redevelopment. As a project included in the 4th Basic Port Plan, a total of approximately 75 billion KRW was invested to newly construct three berths and a 28,600㎡ yard in the area of Gamcheon Port Piers 3·4 in Seo-gu, Busan.

After completing administrative procedures such as security evaluation and designation as a bonded area, BPA plans to operate the pier as a public pier starting in the second half of this year.

Song Sangkeun, President of Busan Port Authority, stated, "The Gamcheon Port general pier will serve as a foundation to smoothly accommodate demand for non-container cargo handling," and emphasized, "We will expand port infrastructure as planned to contribute to revitalizing the local economy and strengthening the nation's logistics competitiveness."
