세계 10대 항구 - 물동량 및 규모 기준 부산항의 순위?

세계에서 가장 붐비는 항구는 컨테이너 물동량 기준이기 때문에, 가장 큰 항구와 반드시 일치하지는 않는다.

상하이 항구가 규모 및 물동량에서 1위이고, 부산항은 규모에서는 10위, 물동량에서 5위이다.

 

물동량 및 규모에서 10대 항구 중에 각각 7곳이 중국에 있다. 동아시아 물동량이 세계의 공장인 중국에서 이루어지다 보니 그들은 항만 인프라를 무한대 확장해 온 반면에, 한국에서는 상대적으로 물량이 줄어드는 부산항의 규모를 키워야 하는지에 대한 고민이 있었을 것이다.

 

환적 물량이 많았던 부산항의 일부 물량도 선사들이 물동량이 많은 중국 항구들로 옮겨감으로써 어려움에 봉착한 것은 당연한 결과다. 게다가 경영 악화로 국적 선사인 한진 해운이 사라졌고, 최근 물류 대란으로 선박 수배가 되지 않아 수출 업체들이 발을 동동 구르는 상황까지 왔다.

 

중국 코로나로 닝보항 일부 폐쇄, 글로벌 공급망 차질 우려

 

어느 날 갑자기 선박 및 컨테이너를 만들어 내는 것은 불가능하다. 하지만, HMM(현대상선)의 장점을 잘 살려 역대 최고의 수출 실적을 올리는 기회를 잘 살려나갔으면 한다.
