Around 200 million tonnes of liquid cargo move through Ulsan (KR USN) each year, ranking this South Korean port among the world's leading hubs for liquid bulk. Spread across three basins — Ulsan Main Port, Onsan and Mipo — its roughly 96 berths are built primarily for crude oil tankers, petrochemicals and the roll-on/roll-off export of Hyundai vehicles from a dedicated automobile pier rather than containers, which totalled about 404,000 TEU in 2023. The Mipo basin is also home to one of the largest shipyards on earth. In a recent milestone, Ulsan completed its first ship-to-ship methanol bunkering, positioning the port for alternative marine fuels. Inland, road and rail link the port directly into the Ulsan industrial complex. Shippers moving boxed freight should route via nearby Busan, while bulk liquids are concentrated at Onsan.
