World trade has accelerated with improved links in an international information network and with better and faster logistics systems. The Northeast Asian Region (NEA) has emerged as one of the three great core regions supporting the global economy. The NEA, together with Europe and North America, generates a large portion of world trade. Located at the center of NEA, Korea is favorably situated to become a central hub for this region if she adopts solid trade and transport infrastructures to fit a dynamic, ever-changing environment.The Korean government has an ambitious vision of promoting its marine transport industry to a top rank globally and grasping a primary hub position in NEA's logistics networks regionally. Clearly this would require a huge effort and restructuring of national economic priorities and policiesAmong the obstacles, the lack of sufficient and adequate port facilities would be of crucial concern. Institutional problems with respect to fleet finance, crewing, ship management systems, network development and unharmonized marine and trade policies are among the current bottlenecks. Even though lots of policy options have been suggested, feasible plans and policies need to be selected within the constraints of available national resources. If resources are effectively utilized, Korea has a reasonable opportunity of reaching primary hub status within the NEA.
