FTA체결에 따른 중국 청도항의경쟁우위전략에 관한 연구

Abstract

In this study, we identify the competitive advantage of Qingdao Port among China ‘s major trade ports according to the Korea - China FTA, and show how these competitive advantages are related to Busan Port and suggest implications. In recent years, the Korea-China free trade agreement (FTA) with China has increased the openness of each country, and the trade volume will be increased accordingly. The increase in trade due to this FTA will eventually lead to an increase in logistics. In this paper, we identify what kind of competitive advantage strategy Qingdao Port has in China, which has an FTA with Korea, compared to Korea, especially Busan Port. The results of this study will be used as a teacher for the growth strategy of Busan port in the future.The results of this study are as follows. First, Qingdao Port can take advantage of the Chinese government’s policy support, ie, growth strategy based on one-to-one policy. Second, container ships with larger size than other logistics ports can be anchored. This is a comparative advantage that can take full advantage of the recent enlargement of ships. Third, there is an advantage that the overhead of shipment cargo with less labor and logistics costs is much less than Busan port. This study suggests a comparative advantage strategy of Qingdao Port, which is expected to give many implications to the strategy of Busan port.
