SINGAPORE — The Ulsan Port Authority (UPA) took center stage this week at the 2026 Terminal Operations Conference (TOC) Asia, joining forces with South Korea's other major port operators to pitch the nation's logistics prowess to a global audience.

Running from November 10 to 11 at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, TOC Asia stands as one of the region's premier maritime and supply chain summits, attracting roughly 2,000 international delegates, terminal executives, and logistics leaders each year.

At this year's convention, UPA—led by CEO Byun Jae-young—collaborated closely with the port authorities of Busan, Incheon, and Yeosu Gwangyang under an initiative spearheaded by South Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. Together, the delegation operated a unified front to market South Korea as a top-tier maritime logistics destination.

During the two-day exhibition, UPA representatives engaged directly with global industry players, touring corporate booths and highlighting Ulsan Port’s evolving role as an eco-friendly energy logistics center. Officials detailed the port's modern infrastructure and competitive edge in handling green energy supply chains.

In addition to floor exhibitions, UPA hosted targeted, one-on-one business meetings with key international stakeholders. These sessions focused on outlining the operational capabilities of Ulsan Port's logistics hinterlands and pursuing concrete strategies to attract new cargo volumes.

"This prominent industry gathering gives us a vital platform to project Ulsan Port's distinct advantages onto the world stage," said UPA CEO Byun Jae-young. "It also allows us to deepen collaborative networks across the global maritime supply chain."
