About Busan
Busan handles almost all of South Korea's container trade and doubles as a major transshipment hub for northeast Asia, feeding cargo on to Japan, northern China and the Russian Far East. The newer terminals at Busan New Port to the west have taken over most deep-sea calls from the older North Port. It connects to the Seoul capital area and the southeastern industrial belt by rail and motorway.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Busan — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 30–36 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider South Korea lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
