GTOs have entered into Busan Port due to the continuous throughput increase, favorable global network and location for terminal operators even if they have had to face risks, such as political issues, unstable financial markets, and pricing differentials. The measures to utilize GTOs for the development of Busan Port which are suggested in this study are as follows: First, GTOs should be permitted to participate in the consolidation of terminal operators and establishment of K-GTO in Busan Port so that we can utilize their know-how for terminal operation and financial abilities. A second measure is to make a chance for K-GTO’s entrance into the overseas terminals which are owned by GTOs in Busan Port by negotiating with them. The final suggestion is to grant GTOs in Busan Port a chance to operate berths in a limited period, in the case that there is a timing differential between the completion of phase 2-4 construction in Busan New Port and the redevelopment of Busan North Port so that there might be surplus berths.
