If there is a railroad system, connecting the North and the South Korea via the Busan port, a new freight route linking to Europe will be reached. This paper aims to investigate the intention of shipping companies, shipper forwarders, who are prospective customers and/or competitors of TSR. An analysis of the competitiveness between TSR system and the waterway transportation will be also mentioned.
