Alongside Incheon International Airport, Incheon Port has established itself as a major international hub of transport around northwest Asia. Belonging to a coastal city in the northwest of South Korea, Incheon Port provided a significant economic boost to South Korea when it opened its port to the rest of the world, creating mass revenue for the tourism and business industries. The population of 3 million, its proximity to the capital city of Seoul and its recent title as South Korea’s Free Economic Zone have all contributed to transform Incheon into a place that thrives on business adventure and innovation. The port area is undergoing a gradual renovation; the refurbishment is due to finish in around 2020 with the intention to increase the traffic between South Korea’s metropolitan area and China. The expansion will likely make Incheon Port a pivotal logistics harbour in the Pan Yellow Sea region. There are already copious ferry routes in operation at Incheon Port, a large selection of them linking South Korea with influential provinces of China. The distance between the two countries, however, obviously makes the crossings considerably longer than average, with most lasting up to 24 hours. Much like the area surrounding the port, the vessels used to carry passengers on the long-haul sailings are of a very high quality; excellent restaurants, cool bars and tranquil bedrooms are all available on board, making for a stress free crossing. There are buses from the Incheon train station that run to the ferry terminal, as well as an abundance of taxis around the city centre.
