평택항에 대한 기대역할 변화와 발전 방향에 관한 연구

As the logistics environment is rapidly changing due to COVID-19, the perception and expected role of traditional transportation means and ports are also changing. Amid changes in the global logistics environment major changes are being found in the role of major domestic ports and traditional logistics routes. In the midst of these changes this study ascertains the change in the expected roles of major Korean shippers for Pyeongtaek Port, which is playing an important role as a national port and a hub port in China, and argues that it is necessary to discuss the development direction. For this purpose, this study obtained and analyzed the data of major shippers in the Gyeonggi region and based on this, in-depth interviews were conducted with relevant personnel. As a result of data analysis and in-depth interview it was confirmed that despite the stagnant traffic volume at Pyeongtaek Port for several years the car ferry volume increased and it was developing into a new base for TCR multimedia transport connecting Europe-China-Korea. In addition it was confirmed that the perceptions and expected roles of major shippers for Pyeongtaek Port were changing and directions for future development were suggested. These research results will be able to suggest practical academic and policy implications for import and export companies researchers and port authorities who are thinking about diversifying logistics routes and the development direction of Pyeongtaek Port.
