[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation will conduct real-time response readiness inspections using IoT-based ship sensors.

According to the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation on the 20th, inspections will be carried out on 12 affiliated institutions until December 15, covering marine pollution accident response drills, emergency situation mobilization drills, and safety management status of nationwide fishing village response centers.
