Key Points

This research aims to analyze the inland transport distribution and demand for reefer containers in Korea quantitatively for the first time.
Conducted expert interviews to gather insights on reefer container logistics.
Estimated inland travel distribution using a four-step traffic demand model.
Analyzed potential rail transport demand targeting the Busan-Seoul corridor.
Estimated rail transport demand between 7,366 and 19,308 TEU for the Busan-Seoul route.
Identified significant constraints including increased transport time and temperature instability due to transloading.
Highlighted the need for integrated logistics facilities to minimize transloading and shuttle transport costs.
