인천항은 이미 칭다오, 웨이하이, 옌타이, 스다오항 등 산둥성 주요 항만과 컨테이너 항로를 운영 중이며, 산둥성 항만 간 컨테이너 물동량은 78만TEU로 대중국 물동량 220만TEU의 35% 수준이다.
인천항만공사(IPA)는 11일 인천항과 중국 산둥성 르자오항을 잇는 컨테이너 정기선 신규 항로가 첫 취항했다고 밝혔다.
새로 개설된 RIX(Rizhao Incheon Express) 항로는 르자오항과 인천 신항 선광컨테이너터미널(SNCT)을 직접 연결한다.
산둥원양해운그룹(SMC)이 1천TEU(1TEU는 20피트짜리 컨테이너 1대)급 컨테이너선 1척을 주 2항차 운항할 예정이다.
철강·석유화학·제지 산업이 발달한 르자오항은 지난해 화물 처리량이 5억8천만t에 달하는 중국 내 6위 항만이다.
IPA는 이번 항로 개설로 수도권과 산둥성 남부 지역 간 물류비용이 절감돼 연간 12만TEU의 신규 물동량이 창출될 것으로 기대했다.
인천항은 산둥성 권역의 주요 항만인 칭다오·웨이하이·옌타이·스다오항 간 컨테이너 항로도 운영 중이다.
인천항과 산둥성 항만 간 컨테이너 물동량은 78만TEU가량으로, 대중국 물동량(220만TEU)의 35% 수준이다.
IPA 관계자는 "르자오 항로가 새롭게 추가되면서 물동량 증대에 큰 도움이 될 것"이라며 "신규 항로의 화물 유치와 서비스 개선에 힘쓰겠다"고 말했다.

As the Russian government pursues measures to effectively confiscate the assets of foreign companies such as Japan Tobacco Industry (JT) in the form of temporary management, Japanese companies, including Ajinomoto, are unable to make a decision between withdrawal and maintaining business. Companies in non-friendly countries must sell their local corporations for less than 40% of their market value and pay 35% to the Russian government, which inevitably results in huge losses.

Ansan City, Gyeonggi Province, prepared a budget plan of 2.456 trillion won for next year and submitted it to the city council. This is an increase of KRW 126.3 billion (5.4%) from this year, and the welfare budget increased by 7.5% to KRW 1.1333 trillion, reflecting major projects such as the construction of Sangnok Station on the GTX-C route.

The Jeonnam Gwangju Semiconductor Forum called for an end to the political circles and some media's criticism of the creation of a national semiconductor industrial complex in the Honam region and the administrative integration of Jeonnam and Gwangju, calling it a distortion of facts and a double standard. The forum refuted the basis for calculating the 6 trillion won semiconductor subsidy, concerns about water shortage, and controversy over the expertise of private committee members, saying it was a normal administrative procedure.

As investment demand for Antropic's initial public offering (IPO) increases, there are observations that the public offering price may be higher than the originally proposed range. Citing five sources, the Financial Times reported that the underwriters expect the public offering price to be higher than the range of $70 to $78 per share. The corporate value is expected to exceed $1.5 trillion (approximately KRW 206 trillion), and the total financing amount is expected to exceed $100 billion (approximately KRW 133.8 trillion).

A revision of the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralisation, a multilateral currency swap arrangement among South Korea, China, Japan, and ASEAN, took effect Wednesday after all 13 ASEAN+3 members completed internal signing procedures. The Bank of Korea announced the revised agreement, endorsed in May 2025, now includes a Rapid Financing Facility for urgent balance of payments needs. The CMIM holds a $240 billion pool, with South Korea contributing $38.4 billion.

Woowa Youth implements step-by-step measures to prevent identity theft. We plan to require identity verification when changing mobile phone numbers, regularly check abnormal account use patterns, strengthen partner criminal background checks and license validity checks, terminate contracts when identity theft is detected, and introduce an escrow-based safe settlement service in the first half of next year. This reflects the issue of illegal foreign riders raised during the government audit.
