Jinhae (Chinae) is a naval port first and a commercial one only at the margins, hosting the Republic of Korea Navy's main base and naval shipyard. Its bay is the most sheltered natural harbour in Korea and the country's only complete typhoon refuge, yet regular commercial cargo handling is minimal. For containers, breakbulk and general trade, the adjacent Busan New Port is the practical choice, with Masan as a secondary option. Freight forwarders should not treat Jinhae as a standalone cargo port.
