INCHEON — Incheon Port Authority has brought in two new vice presidents to lead its management and port operations.
The authority appointed Kim Kwang, former chief of staff to the Incheon mayor, as the eighth person to hold the post of vice president for management, and Chung Sang-koo, former head of the Pyeongtaek Regional Office of Oceans and Fisheries, as vice president for operations, both effective Oct. 1. The two will serve two-year terms and may be reappointed in one-year increments based on performance.
Kim graduated from Sejong University with a degree in information and communications engineering and completed a master's program at the Graduate School of Policy at Incheon National University. Kim previously served as an administrator at the Presidential Office, a senior aide in a National Assembly member's office and chief of staff to the Incheon mayor. Drawing on political judgment and external networks built across the central government, the National Assembly and local government, Kim will oversee the authority's management and external policy matters.
Chung graduated from Jeonbuk National University with a degree in agricultural chemistry and has spent 30 years in the oceans and fisheries field as a specialist in shipping and port administration. Chung served as head of the shipping and port division at the Busan Metropolitan Government and as head of the Ulsan and Pyeongtaek regional offices of oceans and fisheries. Based on extensive policy experience and field expertise, Chung will lead efforts to improve logistics efficiency and strengthen port competitiveness at Incheon Port.
The authority said it plans to combine skills in government relations and policy coordination with 30 years of shipping and port expertise to respond effectively to pressing issues and drive organizational innovation.
