* Volume Incentive System in the Ports of Busan and Gwangyang *

Korea, volume incentive system will be launched in the ports of Busan and Gwangyang from December 2003.
The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries announced that a volume incentive system would be operated in the ports of Busan and Gwangyang from December 2003 in order to lure transshipment cargoes.
Recently, the Korean ports have been faced with challenges such as the rapid growth of Chinese ports, foreign shippers? extension of direct sea routes to China, and decreases in transshipment cargo volume in the Korean ports. In this regard, the Ministry expects that this volume incentive system will serve to boost business at the Korean ports by offering foreign shippers unprecedented incentives.
Basically, the volume incentive system gives high-volume shipping companies breaks a port use fees. Under the system, shipping companies that handle transshipment cargos of over 0.2 million TEU per annum at the ports of Busan and Gwangyang, or which have increased transshipment cargo volume by more than 20 percent compared to the previous year, will be offered 10% - 50% discounts of cargo handling fee at Korea?s two major ports.
The conditions for reductions on port fees apply differently depending on cargo volume, number and size of vessel, and tonnage. The volume incentive system will be valid Dec. 2003-Nov. 2005 at the two ports and the decision on whether to continue it will be made in consideration of industry trends of cargo handling.
