[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Ki-dong] Korea Honam Marine Development Co., Ltd. (Chairman Song Ju-yong) Mokpo Marine Tourist Cruise Ship will begin full-scale operation starting with the launching ceremony on the 12th.

According to the Mokpo Marine Tourist Cruise Ship on the 9th, the cruise ship operation has completed the final inspection and will welcome tourists in earnest starting with the launching ceremony on the 12th.

The Mokpo Marine Tourist Cruise Ship plans to operate the 1,000-ton Samhakdo Cruise and the 200-ton Yudalsan Cruise five times daily each, investing 5 billion KRW. There will be 4 daytime trips and 1 nighttime trip.

The route departs from Samhakdo Dock, passes through Dalido, goes past the Sewol ferry docking site at Mokpo New Port, and returns. The Samhakdo Cruise takes 1 hour and 30 minutes, while the Yudalsan Cruise takes 1 hour.

The fare is 20,000 KRW during the day, with Mokpo citizens receiving a 5,000 KRW discount.

In particular, 15 harbor pojangmacha (port street food stalls) are set up within the pier and will welcome citizens and tourists at 6 p.m. on the 12th.

This is expected to help attract many tourists as a product linking Mokpo City’s selection as one of Korea’s four major tourist cities with the Mokpo Marine Cable Car and Samhakdo Cruise.

Mokpo City operates Romantic Bus No. 22 to Samhakdo Dock and provides convenience for transportation-vulnerable people. The Romantic Bus fare is the same as the existing city bus fare.
