This project is working to assess the viability of establishing a green shipping corridor between the USA and the Republic of Korea (ROK). The Pre-Feasibility Study has begun gathering data, with the goal of highlighting potential green shipping corridors between various US and Korean ports. Current ports being studied include 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 is 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 will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders that will inherently strengthen relationships and disseminate knowledge on green corridor formation.
Project Milestones:
The Pre-Feasibility Study is well into the data gathering and analysis phase with progress reports and weekly meetings held with mission co-lead, the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. This Pre-Feasibility Study will highlight potential green shipping corridors between various US and Korean ports. Current ports being studied include the ports of Ulsan, Masan, and Busan in ROK and Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett in the US.
