Cars, semiconductors, petrochemicals and consumer electronics move through Inchon, the Yellow Sea gateway that serves the Seoul capital region barely 30 kilometres to the east. The port handled a record 3.56 million TEU in 2024, ranking second in South Korea behind Busan. Its layout spans several zones: a lock-gated Inner Port basin for bulk and passengers that escapes the area's large tidal range, North and South Ports for specialised and coastal cargo, and a modern New Port holding the container terminals. Superstructure construction has begun on the New Port's automated Phase 1-2, which from 2028 will add 1.38 million TEU and lift total container capacity to roughly 4.08 million TEU. International passenger and RoRo ferries connect Inchon with Chinese ports such as Weihai, Qingdao and Tianjin. Expressways and rail tie the port into greater Seoul. For larger boxship calls or transshipment, forwarders turn to Busan, while nearby Pyeongtaek-Dangjin handles automotive and bulk flows.
