Ports Development and Environment

closed

The Ports Development and Environmental Improvement Project will provide comprehensive support for addressing environmental issues in port and harbor development. The project will design and construct facilities for the collection, storage, treatment and disposal of waste from ships, and will install a vessel traffic management system to monitor, regulate and control the movements of vessels at the Ports of Pusan and Inchon/Asan. The project will also assist in financing the construction of the port and industrial complex at Dadaepo to allow for the relocation of many of the timber and fish processing plants from the current locations in the City of Pusan, and assist in the financing of container handling equipment for the Pusan Phase IV Container Terminal. The project will also finance a package of training and technical assistance which has been developed to strengthen the capability of Korea Maritime and Port Administration to address environmental issues, and a program to monitor pollution, ecosystem productivity, biodiversity and changes in the yields of living marine resources in the Yellow Sea.
