• Total fund: KRW 124.6 billion
• Expected outcome: enhanced cargo-handling capacity of 572,000 tons per year (601,000-ton cargo-handling capacity per year from 2011), creation of a 163,000-square meter port area

Second Project of Phase

• Project period: from 2006 to 2011
• Construction supported by the public sector: North Breakwater (210 meters), two berths in a general-cargo terminal (20,000???1B, 30,000???1B: 450 meters), one berth in a container terminal (2,000 TEUs???1B: 250 meters), and two floating piers
