Abstract

This study made a comparative study about the level of the autonomy between Busan Port Authority(BPA) and Port of Singapore Authority(PSA) as a global terminal operator. Singapore government privatized a PSA in 1997. And after that, PSA has grown global terminal operator in Singapore port and major port in the world. These achievements was derived from allowing the autonomy to PSA, even though Singapore government has 100% stake in PSA, Korea is a country having highly foreign trade dependency. And almost exportimport cargoes are transporting through port. So port industries are key industries supporting national economy. It is widely known fact that the status and role of Busan port in Korean port industries is connected with the development of the nation’s whole port industries. This is a imperativeness that the development of BPA should be connected with the development of the Busan port deeply. In order to achieve this goals, BPA must have wider autonomy than what it has What we have to learn from PSA case is that (1) PSA has experienced various situations for a long time and known the timing and contents of the suitable policies through the various experience, (2) Singapore government have waited for a long time PSA haviing experience and insight about port logistics trend and future stream.
