Serving the Masan Free Trade Zone and the heavy industry of Changwon, Masan (KR MAS) is an industrial multipurpose port on the Korea Strait. It moves roughly 12.5 million tonnes of cargo and around 150,000 vehicles a year across eight general-cargo piers offering sixteen berths. Typical traffic includes scrap metal, ores, timber, frozen fish and heavy machinery, while dedicated quays handle specific commodities: the Ssangyong and Hanla piers together take up to 2.3 million tonnes of cement and the Doosan and Pochul piers about 2.0 million tonnes of iron annually. Container shipments and RoRo vehicle exports round out the mix, with the SK pier handling petroleum. Road and rail tie the port into South Korea's industrial belt around Changwon and Busan. For mainline container services and transhipment, nearby Busan is the first choice, with Gwangyang offering further capacity.
