​￮ The purpose of the study is to design methods for specializing port logistics services by taking the supply chain structure of the port, as well as specialization industries and future industrial trends, into consideration and make suggestions for Jeollabuk-do’s two-port system of the port of Gunsan and the new port in Saemangeum.

￮ Specialization methods of Jeollabuk-do port logistics services can be summarized as follows.

￮ First, it is advisable to provide specialized logistics services, including silo logistics, which have secured the existing competitiveness, as well as logistics for the automobile industry, energy industry and timber industry to increase the potential of the further development of Jeollabuk-do’s port-based industry by establishing a front-to-back industrial ecosystem.

￮ Second, it is advisable to discover key sustainable port-based industries for the future, such as non-metropolitan area logistics hubs for maritime express cargo, logistics centers for the national food cold chain, as well as passenger and cruise logistics.

￮ Third, diverse policy projects need to be planned and implemented to improve the existing competitiveness and discover new industries. Therefore, decision-making based on strategic logistics viewpoints and Jeollabuk-do’s two-port strategy are needed.

￮ If such achievements are reflected in Jeollabuk-do’s port logistics policy, a stable growth of the Gunsan port-based industry and an early vitalization of Saemangeum’s new port can be expected. Furthermore, thanks to the ecosystem of specialized development of Jeollabuk-do’s port-based industries, a virtuous cycle of job creation and a population influx is expected.
