The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of regional ports according to the increase of
China - China trade. Therefore, we tried to suggest a balanced development plan of port bases of both
countries through comparison with Qingdao Port and Busan Port, which has the largest trade volume. For
this purpose, the definition of port, the definition of port competitiveness and the factors of competitiveness
were analyzed, and the competitiveness of Qingdao Port and Busan Port were compared. Through this, we
developed a plan to improve the competitiveness of Qingdao Port. As a result of the study, we focused on
the competitiveness factors of the port. First, we should improve the competitiveness of the port facilities
from the improvement of the basic facilities, improve the port transportation system in terms of port
services, improve the quality of the port transportation network, We have identified the need to complement
the system. In addition, in terms of transportation network, the container transportation center should be constructed from the rear complex of the port, and it should form an integrated linking system of shipping
company, forwarder, marine transportation that attracts large shippers, and rail transportation. It is necessary
to operate various types of distribution centers so that they can be easily provided.
