[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo Coast Guard urgently transported three emergency patients who consecutively occurred on islands and at sea.

According to Mokpo Maritime Police Station (Chief Im Jae-su) on the 24th, at around 11:47 a.m. on the 23rd, a report was received that Captain B (in his 50s) of the 9-ton coastal gillnet fishing vessel A, located 12 km southwest off Imjado, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, was complaining of chest pain and difficulty breathing.

The Coast Guard dispatched a patrol vessel, boarded the patient at sea, and swiftly transported him, handing him over to the 119 ambulance team waiting at Jinri Wharf, Imjado, at around 12:18 p.m. the same day.

Later, at 5:28 p.m. on the same day, the Coast Guard received a report that crew member D (in his 50s) of the 9-ton coastal gillnet fishing vessel C was injured in the chest by a wire while pulling up a net 25 km west off Imjado, Sinan-gun. Using a patrol vessel, the Coast Guard safely transported the patient to Songgong Port in Jido-eup and handed him over to the 119 ambulance team.
