Busan to cut fees for ships calling container terminals
The Port of Busan said Tuesday that from July 1 it would begin a new program under which vessels that call at its existing container terminals as well as the terminal in Busan New Port will be exempt from entrance and anchorage fees.
For a 5,000-TEU vessel calling at terminals in both ports, the savings would be $687 in port entrance fees and $365 in anchorage fees. The program will run for two years.
The port also said by June 2009, it would begin a barge service linking the two ports.
