This study analyzed the reality of cold and frozen storage businesses around Gamcheon Harbour in Busan, a major logispark for cold and frozen storage warehouse in the country, and the policy trend related with the fishery distribution that the government and Busan city have currently promoted, and investigated the deployment strategy for the switchover of the traditional cold and frozen storage businesses to more advanced storage businesses.
The number of cold and frozen storage warehouse enterprises registered in Busan area is 120 as of year 2011, and their market share is 55% of all the nation's cold and frozen storage warehouse enterprises with the market share for the frozen capacity 25% of all in the nation, they have shown a steady development in both the number of registration enterprises and their size since 1996. But in the analysis of the transition in the quantity of fishery goods transported that is principal storage goods, the quantity of fishery production showed a very little increase rate (3% increase in year 2011 as contrasted with that of year 2002), and the quantity of pelagic fishery production showed a tendency to decrease.
Accordingly, by outgrowing not only quantitative development but also simple storage function of cold and frozen storage warehouse businesses, it is necessary to introduce a complex distributional center type system through inducing distributional function, automation equipment and information system. But in terms of initial investment costs, the cold and frozen storage businesses in Busan area are analyzed to have difficult situations in dealing with reconstruction or new construction yet, and so through process improvement and partial introduction of distribution facility, distribution service function improvement and network establishment among neighboring businesses should be put in consideration in advance.
Also, from the results of questionnaire survey on the subjects of businesses in Busan, it was found that those related businesses had a lack of understanding in the complex distributional center type of cold and frozen storage system, and from the investigation of its necessity and urgency, it was found that there were 47% and 31% respectively, which was a little low in the trend.
Accordingly, it is urgently necessary to prepare various information supply and discussion on the target of related businesses to help them evoke their sympathy and move themselves to be private-initiated.
