한-중 간 RFS를 활용한 Sea&Air 복합운송 활성화에 관한 연구 = The Study on the Activation of Sea & Air transportation between Korea and China Using RFS

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In order to compare and analyze the competitiveness of the towed trailer method being promoted under the Land Combined Freight Vehicle Transportation Agreement and the Phase 1 Protocol with the RFS(Road Feeder Service) method being promoted by the government in the second half of 2021. Based on the volume of Sea&Air shipments between Korea and China over the past 10 years, the analysis of portfolio and ARIMA(Automatic Recursive Movement Average) models, and competitiveness analysis of the existing towed trailer method and RFS (Road Feeder Service, Combined Integrated Transportation) method were conducted. As a result of the study, Shidao Port and Weihai Port in China are found to be “Star Performers” with high market growth and relative market share, and the future transshipment cargo from China will increase from about 42,239 tons in 2021 to about 50,996 tons in 2025. Furthermore, compared to the existing towed trailer method, the RFS method reduces the time by 1 hour and 20 minutes, and costs 86 won per kg. In this situation, in order to activate multimodal transportation between Korea and China, the RFS method, which can shorten time and reduce costs compared to the existing towed trailer method, is actively introduced, and the connection between China’s Weihai Port and Shidao Port, which leads the growth of Sea&Air transshipment between Korea and China, should be strengthened. For this, it was found that it was imperative to gradually expand the target cargo and service areas of the RFS pilot project, as a balanced flow of import and export traffic between the Republic of Korea and China is very important.
