The present study analyzed the railway transport characteristics of bulk cargo flowing in and out of trade ports in South Korea. Bulk cargo transport in freight stations located behind trade ports was examined using actual flow data, and new implications were drawn accordingly. The results showed that bulk cargo volume in freight stations located behind trade ports is gradually decreasing, and it is also failing to secure a competitive edge against road transport. This downfall can be mainly attributed to the decrease in competitiveness of railway transport as well as the emergence of new trade ports that do not have lead-in track for port. Therefore, greater effort is required to strengthen the connection between new trade ports and railway freight stations.

본 연구는 우리나라 무역항으로 유출입하는 벌크화물의 철도운송특성을 분석하였다. 무역항 배후에 입지한 화물역의 벌크화물 운송을 실적자료를 이용하여 분석하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 연구 결과 무역항 배후 철도역의 벌크화물 처리량은 감소추세이며 공로운송에 대한 경쟁력도 확보하지 못하는 것으 로 나타났다. 원인은 철도운송의 경쟁력 저하와 더불어 항만인입선이 건설되지 않은 새로운 무역항의 영향이 크게 작용 하는 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서 새로운 무역항과의 철도연계 강화 노력이 요구된다.
