Coast Guard Headquarters to Establish Big Data Integrated Repository by 2023

Korea Coast Guard

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Korea Coast Guard announced on the 3rd that it will invest 10 billion won to build an integrated big data storage system that consolidates various data by 2023.

The Coast Guard plans to systematically manage various data, which were previously divided among 39 systems including maritime safety, security, and water leisure, by gathering them all into an integrated storage system.

Until now, many data were dispersed across different systems, limiting in-depth analysis and utilization.

This year, the Coast Guard will use telecommunications data to identify the floating population in coastal areas and develop measures to minimize blind spots in maritime safety, while discovering and promoting analysis projects closely related to public safety.

Additionally, to build the integrated data storage, the Coast Guard will share technology with related organizations and train analysis experts. To this end, the Coast Guard will hire young interns as a participating organization in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Public Big Data Youth Internship' program, laying the foundation to nurture big data talent.

A Coast Guard official stated, "Once big data analysis is conducted through the integrated data storage, it will greatly aid in establishing various policies," adding, "We will provide maritime safety services that the public can feel, in line with the changing environment."
