Pohang, a window to the world’s oceans
Located at about the midpoint of the eastern shore of Korea, Pohang is a port city located close to Busan to the south, Gangneung/Donghae/Sokcho to the north, and Gyeongju/Daegu to the west. Pohang’s old port (Guhang) at the city center was opened in 1914 and was elevated to an international port in 1962. With the founding of POSCO, a global steelmaker, a new port (Sinhang) was opened in Pohang in 1969, capable of handling large vessels up to 100,000 tons in tonnage. Cruise vessels are anchored at Pohang’s Yeongilman Port, which was opened in 2020. Yeongilman Port is a large logistics port with 10 docks and is also the starting point of cruises to Ulleungdo Island. The newly constructed International Passenger Terminal, completed in 2024, offers a spacious and convenient facility, complete with a dedicated dock for international passenger travel.
