A new lease charging system for Busan container terminals: a historical case study

This paper aims to examine the inherent problems in the old lease charging system at Busan container terminals, to explore the factors and rationale, both theoretically and practically, for developing a reasonable lease calculation model, and to articulate the design of an efficient lease charging system to enhance throughputs. On the basis of the above achievements, implications for the newly introduced lease charging system of the Port of Busan based on the flat rate method are drawn.
