The second largest port in South Korea is located in Incheon, a city that is approximately 27 kilometers from the capital city of Seoul. As the fourth largest economy in Asia, South Korea is of major importance in international shipping and trade. The port of Incheon was opened in 1883, seven years after the opening of Korea’s largest port in Busan. While the port of Incheon is capable of handling container cargo, it is well known as the major port for overseas car shipping into South Korea from all over the world.
After the Battle of Inchon during the Korean War, the government of South Korea needed to heavily invest in the reconstruction of the port. In 1966 the government began expanding and improving the infrastructure of Incheon port. By the 2000’s the economy of Korea was one of the fastest growing in the world. In 2010 South Korea was the 6th largest exporter and 10th largest importer in the world, showing the growth of international shipping services into and out of South Korea. Today the port of Incheon handles container, cars, construction equipment and high heavy shipping services.
