Mr Kimoon Jang

Research interests

  • (1) Construction and development of container port facilities: The optimal supply and timing of port facilities, considering the role and characteristics of ports, as well as demand and supply dynamics. I am particularly interested in the infrastructure needed for efficient port operations, including terminals, hinterlands, and near-port transportation systems, such as roads and railways.
  • (2) Operation and productivity of container terminals: How to enhance port productivity by analysing the operational structure and governance of container terminals. This includes examining how many terminals are in operation at a given port and how various stakeholders collaborate to create synergies that improve overall efficiency.
  • (3) Global container logistics with a focus on transhipment networks in North East Asia: I am also interested in global container logistics, particularly the transhipment network in North East Asia. My research examines the evolving trends and major flows in the region, with a focus on how these have changed before and after the pandemic.
