Seeking Sustainable Win-Win Strategies with Local Small Businesses (Haeundae Agency)

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority (President Cha Min-sik, hereinafter referred to as the Authority) announced on the 6th that it conducted a 'Visiting Ship Entry and Exit Education' by visiting shipping agencies in the Yeosu area to nurture experts in ship entry and exit operations for local small and medium-sized enterprises.

This education was held to strengthen the capabilities of agencies and to properly inform safety regulations by providing education and guidance on ship entry and exit reporting procedures related to air quality regulations within the port, following the designation of Gwangyang Port as a ship emission control zone last September.

Officials from the Authority directly visited five shipping agencies to conduct the education and had a meaningful time listening to on-site feedback regarding vessel waiting times and berth operation policies at Yeosu and Gwangyang Ports.

Kim Han-chun, head of the Yeosu branch, said, “We will continue to promote ongoing communication with related maritime port companies such as agencies and stevedores within Yeosu and Gwangyang Ports,” adding, “We will explore various win-win measures with small and medium-sized enterprises to contribute to the realization of social value.”
