항만물류보안관리 시스템의 체계화 및 일원화 방안 = A Study on the Systematized and unified plan of port logistics security management system

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Port logistics, which is a large part of the national economy, can cause major damage to the nation`s industries when paralyzed. Centralization and systemization of port logistics security and management system are important in order for port facility to function properly. Port logistics security and management system restricts those who work in the industry in part. However, efficient port security and management system can also reduce cases of theft and loss of cargo, promote visibility and punctuality of delivery, improve stock management and customer satisfaction and facilitate efficient customs work and logistics management. The government restructuring of 2013 is expected to bring about significant changes to the logistics security sector. Confusion and inefficiency could arise as different government ministries are in charge of cargos depending on the means and the distance of delivery. Shipping and port affairs, which were the responsibility of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, are now under the Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries. From now on, the ministry in charge will change when a cargo that has been transported by land or air is loaded onto a ship for marine transport. In the face of the changing situation and complications that might arise from it, an integrated, centralized logistics security system needs to be established and designating a single ministry in charge must be discussed. Regulations on port logistics security and safety will not only lead to systematic, efficient development of the port logistics industry but also improve the nation`s international competitiveness. A tentative “Port Logistics Security and Safety Act” aims to enhance visibility of cargo through a cargo tracking system and guarantee swift delivery of cargo to recipients. A revision of law and regulation is necessary in order to facilitate introduction of the latest generation of equipment such as e-seal system and container detector at port facilities. Support for the port logistics industry is important in South Korea, whose economy heavily depends on trade. Therefore, port logistics security and safety must be regulated under a new, centralized Port Logistics Security and Safety Act, which will replace the current system where clauses on port logistics are scattered around in the legal system. As a legal foundation for the integrated system to regulate the industry, Article 6 Clause 2 of the Basic Act on Logistics Policy must to be revised to allow the legislation of a separate act on development and management of logistics facility, management and nurturing of logistics businesses and logistics safety and security.
