Busan Deal for HJSC

The construction division of HJ Shipbuilding & Construction (HJSC) has secured the Busan New Port West Container Terminal Phase 2-6 Transfer Crane Installation Project. The process involves building and installing 34 transfer cranes for a total construction cost of KRW187bn (US$134 million) over a 36-month period. These units stack containers in yards or load/unload them onto automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or trailers and this development follows Busan New Port Pier 7 (Phase 2-5), which became South Korea’s first completely automated terminal when it opened in April 2024.
