This project assessed the viability of establishing a green shipping corridor between the USA and the Republic of Korea (ROK). The Pre-Feasibility Study gathered data, with the goal of highlighting potential green shipping corridors between various US and Korean ports. Ports being studied included the ports of Ulsan, Masan, and Busan in ROK and Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett in the US.
Project Objective:
The main outcome of this proposed project was to assess the viability of establishing a green shipping corridor between the USA and the Republic of Korea (ROK), focused on the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett cargo gateway (USA) and Busan, Ulsan, and Masan (ROK). Throughout this project the research brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to inherently strengthen relationships and disseminate knowledge on green corridor formation.
Project Milestones:
Study Complete: Results shared and stakeholders engaged for next steps at the Stakeholder Incubation workshop on November 29th, 2023.
