As a result of it, Korean Electronic Data Interchange(EDI) standards were make by the Korean Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport(EDIFACT) committee and the standards have been used by companies and governmental organizations in Korea. However, Korea port and logistics EDI system is based on Value Added Network (VAN) and a VAN company has monopolist right to relay EDI documents to Ministry of Maritime Affairs & Fisheries(MOMAF) and Customs Service.

This research is trying to derive an conceptual ebXML model based e-Business for port and logistics industry. Especially, for improving extant problems in the port and logistics industry, this research proposes the Information Strategic Planning(ISP) and Proof of Concept(POC) for ebXML system.
