The ocean route from Incheon to Itapoa is particularly advantageous for transporting packaged food, ensuring the integrity of shelf-stable products throughout their journey. This pathway minimizes exposure to temperature fluctuations, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of processed and dry food items. Additionally, using ocean freight allows for the efficient handling of large volumes, making it a cost-effective choice for bulk shipments of ambient groceries. The reliable transit conditions further enhance the safety and security of these essential goods.

The terminal is well-connected to major transport networks, enabling seamless distribution to various locations.
