Pyeongtaek Port Authority Signs Integrated Maintenance Dredging Project Agreement with Seven Organizations Including Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office

On October 28, Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority signed an implementation agreement with seven organizations, including the Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, for the "Pyeongtaek-Dangjin Port Liquid Berth Integrated Maintenance Dredging Project" to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the liquid berths at Pyeongtaek-Dangjin Port.

The Pyeongtaek-Dangjin Port Liquid Berth Integrated Maintenance Dredging Project is a port integrated maintenance management initiative aimed at resolving issues such as reduced safety for vessel arrivals and departures and decreased berth usability due to tidal waiting, which occurred during the previous individual maintenance dredging processes. The project also seeks to shorten dredging periods and reduce dredging costs.

Under the agreement, the Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office will support the permitting and approval work related to the dredging project, while liquid berth operators such as Korea Gas Corporation will secure and provide the necessary funding. Based on this, the Pyeongtaek Port Authority will oversee the entire integrated maintenance dredging project, and each organization plans to carry out the project fairly and transparently, fulfilling their respective responsibilities.

The integrated maintenance dredging project will proceed with design and permitting starting in 2026.

Kim Seokgu, President of Pyeongtaek Port Authority, stated, "As the nation's first integrated maintenance dredging project for ports, being promoted through a public-private governance model, we will do our utmost to make this a leading example that secures the safety and competitiveness of the port."
