Comparing container terminal rate of North Port and New Port in Busan, it was judged that New Port was maintaining an appropriate level of rate for import/export and transshipment compared to the service cost. On the other hand, for North Port, it could be seen that the rate for import/export compared to service cost was higher than the cost, but the transshipment rate was lower than the cost. Such phenomenon is expected to be a big obstacle to rate stabilization of North Port container terminal in future due to open low-price bidding by foreign shipping companies and reduction of transport quantity. In this study, in order to resolve such problems of container terminal rate, the following rate stabilization plan was proposed: first, the method by governmental regulations and law amendments; second, rent reduction through transport quantity linked rent system method or a separate incentive reimbursement; third, introduction of port pooling system; fourth, mixed type of transportation quantity linked rent system method and port pooling system; lastly, increased size of container terminal operator. It is positively judged that through good utilization of these five, the rate of North Port can also be stabilized and thus the competitiveness of Busan port can be consistently maintained.
