The Incheon Port Authority is accepting applications from new users for a temporary cargo truck parking lot at the Incheon New Port logistics complex.

The authority is recruiting two-year users for the facility, located in the New Port logistics complex in Songdo-dong, with applications open from Nov. 9 through Nov. 19.

A total of 1,281 parking spaces are available. They are divided into three types: Type I, with 384 spaces that can accommodate a trailer and chassis simultaneously; Type II, with 874 spaces for oversized special-purpose cargo trucks; and Type III, with 23 spaces.

The facility is equipped with lighting towers, restrooms, barrier gates and unmanned payment kiosks for driver convenience and security.

Eligibility extends to individual freight carriers and owner-operators affiliated with corporations who meet at least one of the following conditions: residing in Incheon, operating a cargo vehicle registered in Incheon, or holding an Incheon Port access pass.

Applicants can register by entering their name, contact information and vehicle number through the application link on the authority's official website or via the provided QR code. Construction machinery and vehicles transporting hazardous materials are excluded.

Final users will be selected through a live public lottery broadcast on the authority's official YouTube channel at 2 p.m. on Nov. 20. The draw will be conducted by type, and alternate winners will also be selected at the same time.

Winners will be assigned parking spaces at random, and results will be sent individually via KakaoTalk and the authority's website.

The usage period runs from Jan. 4, 2027, to Dec. 31, 2028, and a new lottery will be held upon expiration.

Monthly parking fees, excluding value-added tax, are 120,000 won ($88) for Type II and III spaces and 180,000 won for Type I spaces, payable in advance on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Users will be immediately disqualified for applying under another person's name, submitting false information, falling two or more months behind on payments, or transferring their assigned space without authorization.

Users caught illegally parking or stopping along roads within the New Port logistics complex will have their access revoked and face disadvantages in future space assignments.
