KRDAS Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of KRDAS
Taesan Port is the seaport of Changwon-si, in the city of Changwon-siin Korea. Overseas routes include Japan and South Korea, Port code is KRDAS.
Port Overview
TAESAN, UN/LOCODE KRDAS, is recorded in the supplied port master data as a Korean coastal port associated with Changwon-si. For forwarding purposes, our service team treats this location as a port-specific booking and inland-delivery point rather than assuming that it has the same operating profile as a major container hub. The available record identifies the port, country and city but does not provide verified terminal dimensions, vessel schedules or throughput figures. Sailing options, cargo acceptance and terminal arrangements should therefore be confirmed against the actual booking, carrier instruction and current port information before cargo is dispatched.

Key Highlights
Port-specific booking Terminal confirmation required Inland planning sensitive Document accuracy critical- Use KRDAS consistently in the booking request, shipping instructions and commercial documentation; do not substitute another Korean port code based only on a similar port name.
- Because verified public data in the supplied record does not establish container-terminal capacity or regular liner coverage, our team confirms the actual receiving terminal, equipment type and acceptance window before issuing a firm plan.
- For FCL, the critical checks are empty-container release, laden-gate appointment, verified cut-off and return location. For LCL, consolidation routing and the actual CFS destination should be checked separately.
- Heavy, oversized, hazardous or project cargo requires pre-approval; road access, vehicle suitability and terminal handling restrictions can affect the final quotation and schedule.
Facilities & Services
- Container handling: availability of quay-side container handling, reefer plugs, empty equipment and accepted container types must be confirmed with the nominated terminal or carrier.
- General and project cargo: breakbulk, steel, machinery and other non-standard cargo may be handled subject to berth, lifting, storage and pre-arrival approval; no equipment specification is assumed here.
- Storage and CFS: our team can coordinate the applicable terminal yard, off-dock yard or consolidation warehouse after the cargo mode and final delivery point are confirmed.
- Customs and inspection: customs filing, document review and possible inspection are arranged through the responsible broker and authorities; inspection location and attendance requirements vary by shipment.
- Road collection and delivery: Korean domestic trucking is normally planned around terminal appointments, vehicle restrictions, container weight, bridge or road limitations and the receiver's unloading capability.
Routes & Transit Times
- Typical planning may involve a direct port call where commercially available, or a feeder, relay or regional transshipment connection through another Korean or Northeast Asian gateway. Direct service, carrier, sailing frequency and transit time are not assumed.
- For exports, the working schedule is determined by cargo readiness, terminal receiving time, vessel cut-off, documentation cut-off and any transshipment connection. A port-to-port estimate is not a guaranteed delivery date.
- For imports, total lead time also depends on discharge, customs release, inspection selection, empty return instructions and truck availability. Our service team confirms each milestone after receiving the booking or arrival notice.
- Weather, berth congestion, blank sailings, equipment imbalance, public holidays and customs examination can change the operational schedule; customers should retain buffer time for time-sensitive cargo.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- The supplied master record links KRDAS with Changwon-si. Our team therefore plans the inland leg from the declared pickup or delivery address, rather than inferring a wider hinterland from the port name alone.
- Potential cargo profiles for a Korean coastal industrial port include machinery, steel products, industrial components, general manufactured goods and project cargo; acceptance depends on the terminal, vessel and handling plan.
- Containerized shipments should be checked for gross weight, verified VGM, loading pattern, lashing requirements and road-leg restrictions before equipment is released.
- Bulk, liquid, dangerous, oversized and temperature-controlled cargo requires a separate feasibility review covering permits, packaging, segregation, equipment and emergency information.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-offs: obtain the carrier's confirmed SI cut-off, VGM deadline, customs filing deadline, terminal receiving window and laden-gate cut-off. These times can differ and may be revised after booking.
- Dangerous goods: submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, marine pollutant status, SDS and packing certificate where required. Do not deliver DG cargo before written acceptance.
- Customs documents: commercial invoice, packing list, transport document instructions, origin information and permits should match the physical cargo. Commodity classification and export controls should be reviewed before declaration.
- Inspection and inland delivery: customs selection, quarantine, terminal inspection and truck appointment requirements may create additional handling or storage exposure. Our service team reports exceptions as soon as they are notified.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the exact shipper, consignee, cargo description, HS information, package dimensions, gross weight, container preference and pickup address before requesting a firm routing.
- Ask for written confirmation of the terminal name, receiving address, empty pickup point, laden return point, cut-offs and whether the booking is direct, feeder or transshipment-based.
- For machinery or oversized cargo, provide drawings, centre-of-gravity details, lifting points, packing photos and road dimensions early so that handling and inland feasibility can be assessed.
- Keep a practical alternative in the plan: another Korean gateway, a different sailing connection or a revised inland arrangement may be required if the nominated terminal cannot accept the cargo or equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our team first verifies whether the requested carrier and vessel accept KRDAS as the actual port of discharge or loading. If not, we propose the applicable feeder, transshipment or alternative Korean gateway arrangement; no direct service is promised without carrier confirmation.
Use the earliest applicable deadline after checking SI, VGM, customs, terminal receiving and laden-gate requirements. The carrier booking confirmation and terminal instruction prevail over a general schedule displayed online.
Possibly, but acceptance is cargo- and terminal-specific. Our service team requires the DG declaration or complete project-cargo dimensions before seeking approval; cargo should not be delivered on the assumption that ordinary container acceptance applies.
The final inland cost can depend on the confirmed terminal, empty-container location, vehicle type, weight, appointment availability, road restrictions and waiting or inspection requirements. We revalidate these items before dispatch.
Provide cargo-ready date, origin and destination addresses, container or package details, desired delivery date, DG status and any customs or inspection requirements. We then separate port-to-port sailing time from inland and clearance time.
Data Sources & Provenance
The port code, name, country, city field and record identifiers above are taken from the supplied KRDAS port master data.

Schedules, terminal acceptance, customs procedures, equipment availability and inland restrictions are time-sensitive. Our service team verifies the applicable details with the carrier, terminal, broker and local transport provider before execution.
