Port automation system installed in Inchon port

Inchon port will introduce the port automation system that allows the port to control logistic flows.
The Inchon Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries revealed Oct. 16 that it will install a bar code reader and radio Local Area Network (LAN) within October on the 8th gate in the port in order to get trucking information.
Inchon is the third to introduce this system following Pusan port and Pohang New Port. The local government plans to replace admission tickets with a nationwide standard bar code next January after a trial period, and to take advantage of cargo information through connecting allied systems of MOMAF, the Korean National Railroad and the Korea Customs Service. After the system fully goes online, it will help in obtaining cargo and stevedoring information and to improve cargo tracking and berth arrangements.
