What is the Ulsan Port Authority launching?

The Ulsan Port Authority said on October 26, 2026 that it has started a project to build an AI-based port information sharing service. The project, which runs until the first half of 2027, aims to make information easier to reach for port customers and to support better ship operation planning.

How will the AI search work?

The authority will add an AI conversational search service to its website and to Portwise, a port information sharing platform. Users can ask questions in everyday language and receive related regulations along with links to the original documents.

What forecasting tools are planned?

A port schedule prediction service will analyze ship arrival, departure, and berth assignment data. It is designed to show whether a berth is available, how long ships may wait, and how crowded the port is, which the authority says will improve logistics efficiency.

How will paperwork be simplified?

A port form assistant will automatically extract required items from PDF documents, reducing administrative work.

For international fans

This story is mainly about logistics rather than entertainment. Ulsan is one of South Korea's major port cities, and the project shows how digital tools are being used in shipping. The authority also plans multilingual support, so foreign shipping companies may be able to use the service more easily once it opens.
