22 berths are now in operation at Busan New Port and freight is also being handled at the Northern Logistics Park (1.7 million square meters) and the Western Logistics Park (2.48 million square meters).
BPA is pushing ahead with plans to construct an additional eight berths and add a further 1.91 million square meter logistics facility (Distripark) on the Western and Southern perimeters.
Two of the world’s largest container ships – the MV Mærsk McKinney Møller and the MSC Oscar – made Busan their maiden port call and continue to visit regularly. A comprehensive port entry simulation system proved it was safe for these ULCCs to call and further work, including removing a small island and dredging to 17 meters – will ensure the continuing safety of these large vessels.
