This study was intended to review the benefits of domestic coastal port and their improvement. Basically, the benefits of domestic coastal port are linked with the related demands including cargo and tourist. The demand for cargo is limited to the transfer demand because the demand for transport through the existing port is transferred rather than increasing when a new port is built. On the other hand, new tourist demand may arise in accordance with the construction of new ports. Considering this aspect, most of the cargo-related demand is limited in its benefits to cost reduction. Also, in the case of tourist demand, it is not easy to identify new demand in advance. In this respect, even if the benefits of coastal port development are diverse, the size of the benefits is inevitably limited, and in conclusion, it is not easy to secure the economic feasibility of coastal port development. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the benefit items in consideration of the role and business purpose of the coastal port.
