[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Coast Guard urgently transported crew member A, who complained of abdominal pain on a fishing vessel during operations.

According to the Jeju Coast Guard on the 24th, a report was received that a crew member on a 29-ton coastal longline fishing vessel registered in Hallim, operating about 31 kilometers north of Jeju Port, Jeju City, was suffering severe abdominal pain around 4:03 PM the previous day.

Since the beginning of this year, the Jeju Coast Guard has transported 11 emergency patients from fishing vessels to patrol ships.
