Busan Coast Guard, Emergency Oil Spill Response at Cargo Wharf
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Yoseop] The Busan Coast Guard announced on the 10th that at around 10 a.m. on the 9th, vessel A (116 tons, Busan-registered), which had been moored long-term at the Dae-pyeong-dong cargo yard in Yeongdo-gu, Busan, sank, causing oil to spill into the sea, prompting emergency containment measures.
