[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 17th that it held a completion ceremony for the 'Wando Seafood Export Logistics Center,' established for systematic and long-term seafood exports.

The Wando Seafood Export Logistics Center, the largest of its kind in Korea, was built on the rear site of Wando Port, with a total project cost of 8.1 billion KRW. It has a total floor area of 2,521㎡, two above-ground floors, and includes a tank building, freezing and refrigeration rooms, rapid freezing room, processing room, exhibition hall, local food store, and buyer consultation rooms.

In particular, it enables rapid processing from quarantine to customs clearance in one place, reducing transportation time to export countries.

Additionally, by introducing HACCP facilities, it has established a foundation to ensure safety for exports.

Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, “The Wando sea area is composed of maekbanseok, which acts as a purifier and physiological activity catalyst, making the taste and aroma of Wando seafood such as abalone and flatfish excellent. Once the seafood export logistics center is fully operational, the export base for Wando seafood will be strengthened, export routes will expand, and the fisheries industry is expected to become more vibrant.”

A county official stated, “The completion ceremony was held with a minimized number of attendees and simplified events due to COVID-19.”
