Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Implements 'Special Port Operation Measures' for Lunar New Year Holiday
[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 8th that it will implement a 'Special Port Operation Plan' for each national trade port from the 11th to the 14th during the Lunar New Year holiday period to ensure there are no disruptions in port usage.
Shippers or shipowners who have cargo to be handled during the Lunar New Year holiday can request in advance to the pier operators to ensure normal cargo loading and unloading. Each port will establish an emergency operation system, including shift changes and rest for port workers and maintaining emergency contact networks, in preparation for urgent cargo handling during the holiday period.
Additionally, the 'Maritime Port Logistics Information System (PORT-MIS)' supporting vessels entering and leaving the ports will operate normally. Dedicated personnel will be on standby 24 hours to respond to any system failures. When providing entry and exit services on-site, the 'Port Operation Quarantine Guidelines' such as frequent terminal disinfection, temperature checks, and mask-wearing will be strictly followed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Tugboat companies and pilots will form standby teams at each port to provide services as usual. Businesses related to port transportation, including ship fuel supply, port services, and ship supplies, will operate normally except on Lunar New Year’s Day, and will provide services on the holiday if there is demand.
