According to a recent survey conducted by the Busan Port Authority, the South Korean port has seen a 45 percent increase in vessel calls and an 18 percent increase in services since a similar survey was taken four years ago.
The regions driving the increased services and vessel calls are Southeast Asia, the U.S, and Middle East, port officials said in a statement.
As of July this year, BPA said that 71 shipping lines — 16 from domestic carriers and 55 from overseas — have called at Korea's largest port on 255 services.
