Financing as GEM records it: In April 2025, the securing of a US$815 million (1.1 trillion South Korean won) project finance loan was announced by Hanyang. Ten institutions, including Shinhan Bank and Industrial Bank of Korea, participated as lenders in the finance deal for the project.

A unit with no cost reported is not shown, and the figures are never added across statuses. How the estimates compare is on project costs.

Supplied via

Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.

Cargoes reach north-east Asia from the Middle East, Australia, the United States and Russia, so exposure is spread.

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, browse every chokepoint, or take the machine-readable exposure feed.
