초록

Recently, due to the increases in container traffic between Korea and China, the concerns on train-ferry between Korea and China have been increased. The train-ferry system provides effective ways in terms of cheap transportation costs, mass transit, etc., with the combined advantages of maritime transportation and railway transportation. However, in order to initiate the substantial operation of train-ferry, several technical issues have to be considered including the complement of existing port facility, security of ferry for stable operation, the management of freight cars between borders, the design of floating ramp to overcome tidal range, etc. In this paper, the technical problems to be solved were reviewed, and the required suggestions were provided for the effective operation of train-ferry.
