PORT OF POHANG
The Port of Pohang, located at the southeastern
coast of the Korean Peninsula, is a fine natural habor well protected from
the open sea.
Handling more than 33million tons a year of mostly mineral
ore and iron and steel products, it has greatly contributed to the steady
development of our nation's economy as the main gateway to Kyungsang-bukdo
province
It is well-known fact that the Port of Pohang has been one
of the leading industrial ports in the Republic of Korea(R.O.K) due to Pohang
Iron and steel Company(POSCO) and its related industrial complex in the
port's hinterland area. However, with the modernization of Piers 7-8, we
expect to handle more export/import cargoes coming from the inland area
of the Kyungsang-bukdo, thereby increasing it's importance as a commercial
port.
