摘要：	Industries continue to globalize their supply chains, increasing cargo traffic andcreating excessive demand on ports across the globe resulting in port congestion. Thisincreased congestion impacts USTRANSCOM’s cargo movement operations whichcompete for use of the same port resources. While the DoD has organic transportationcapabilities, most of the cargo is moved via civilian sealift. It is necessary to understandcivilian port operations, identify port-specific excess capacity, and exploit it to avoidcongestion at other ports. The purpose of this study is to evaluate operational factors toinclude unloading and loading capacity, warehouse storage capacity, and shipping yardarea and their relationship to containerized and non-containerized cargo throughput. DataEnvelopment Analysis (DEA) and linear regression were used to analyze seaports in theRepublic of Korea (hereafter referred to as South Korean). This research concludes thatalthough all South Korean ports are not fully efficient due to mixes of cargo types, theport of Pyeongtaek demonstrates significant inefficiencies in containerized cargothroughput. This inefficiency could be exploited to accomplish a shorter port processingtime relative to a higher efficiency port such as Busan. The selected operational factorswere shown to exercise a varying influence over cargo throughput, dependent on whichtype of cargo was being processed.
