Jeju Regional Coast Guard Headquarters

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Regional Coast Guard Agency (Chief Kim Seongjong) announced that as Typhoon No. 9 "Maysak" passed through the eastern sea of Jeju Island and moved away on the 3rd, another typhoon "Haishen" is approaching, and they will reorganize the typhoon emergency response posture and respond thoroughly without any gaps.

Typhoon No. 9 Maysak recorded unprecedented strong winds and heavy rain. Although there were no casualties at sea around Jeju, 17 cases of flooding and damage to small vessels such as leisure boats anchored in harbors and ports were reported.

The Jeju Coast Guard announced that as Typhoon No. 10 "Haishen" is expected to pass near Jeju around the 6th, they will reorganize the typhoon response posture on the 3rd and begin safety management of vessels and coastal areas.

The Jeju Coast Guard expects many vessels to gather at ports and harbors to seek shelter due to the northward movement of Typhoon "Haishen," and emphasized the need for careful management by shipowners to minimize vessel damage.

Additionally, they warned that when fishing vessels operate engines and generators for extended periods to store catches, electrical fire accidents due to overload may occur, urging fishermen to unload catches to land in advance and refrain from operating equipment such as engines on the vessels.

Kim Seongjong, Chief of the Jeju Regional Coast Guard Agency, stated, "Since autumn typhoons are powerful, we will guide ships navigating to evacuate safely in advance to avoid entering the typhoon danger zone, and strengthen control over fishing and leisure activities in coastal areas to prevent casualties from high waves."
