Busan Port Authority Reorganization: Arctic Route and Eco-Friendly Port Strategy Unveiled

Busan Port Authority is reorganizing, to adapt to changes in the global logistics environment. Starting July 1, it will expand from 23 to 24 departments, and establish new dedicated teams. This restructuring was finalized, through internal consultations and management directives.

To prepare for the commercialization of the Arctic Route, a new Arctic Route Team is being set up, under the Global Business Division. The International Logistics Support Department, will be upgraded to a division, to systematically advance Arctic Route development. This team will oversee, all processes from policy to implementation.

To build an eco-friendly port, the Eco-Friendly Port Department will strengthen its role, and a new Energy Independence Business Team will be created. It will introduce bunkering systems, based on next-generation fuels like methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia, to support energy independence. This aligns with, the government’s carbon-neutral policy.

To establish a global hub port, a Mega Port Planning Team, will be formed under the Construction Division, and an Operations System Improvement Team, under the Operations Division. These will accelerate, the development of Jinhae New Port and enhance port efficiency. The Digital Information Department, will be renamed the Digital AI Department, to drive technological innovation.

Through this reorganization, Busan Port Authority, aims to strengthen Arctic Route development, eco-friendliness, digitalization, and ESG management. It marks a strategic step, toward transforming Busan Port, into a global eco-friendly hub.
