Overview

Mokpo Newport Terminal is the first-ever private investment project of port development in Korea, aiming to build a pivotal port in the country’s southeastern region to support adjacent industrial parks in the Mokpo area and to help prepare for rapid increase in cargo volume to be transported to and from China. Following the 2000 signing of the concession agreement, operation began on June 1, 2004.

Currently, we are witnessing the construction of Mokpo Cluster, the epicenter of Northeast Asia’s business, logistics, tourism and administration that is designed to cater to global demands. And at the heart of the Cluster, we have Mokpo Newport Terminal, Northeast Asia’s hub port for international trade.

Mokpo Newport Terminal, young and fresh in every respect, offers perfect natural conditions that allow 24-7-365 entrance and clearance. Situated on the central axis that connects Korea, China and Japan, the Port is proud of its vast port facilities and is emerging as the largest, and the most important, trade port in the Mokpo area’s adjacent industrial parks, such as Daebul National Industrial Complex, Samho Regional Industrial Park, and Sapjin Regional Industrial Park.

Mokpo Newport Terminal comes with a complete set of transportation network systems which enable land-based, surface, and airborne multi-faceted transportation by utilizing the connected transportation networks, highways, railways and airports. The Port has also introduced latest loading-unloading systems and cutting-edge electronic systems to ensure customer-oriented high-end stevedoring services.
