Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Selected as a Model of Proactive Administration for 'Resolving Export-Import Logistics Crisis Support'

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 19th that it selected seven cases of excellent proactive administration in the first half of this year, including 'Support for resolving export-import logistics difficulties through cooperation between shippers and carriers.'

The case selected as the best was the support for resolving export-import logistics difficulties through cooperation between shippers and carriers. This was highly evaluated for contributing to alleviating the difficulties of export companies by seeking solutions in various ways, such as deploying temporary vessels and operating a comprehensive export-import logistics response center, amid the worsening logistics difficulties of export companies due to rising maritime freight rates.

'Overcoming the COVID-19 crisis to achieve the highest-ever K-Seafood exports' was selected as one of the excellent cases. To recover the seafood product exports, which were stagnant due to COVID-19, the ministry quickly shifted to non-face-to-face support methods, promoted online trade mediation and export contract support, and expanded support for foods with increased consumption (home meal replacements, e-commerce market). This proactive administration led to achieving a record high seafood processed product export of 1.1 billion dollars in 2020.

To solve problems in the Sae-Mool 300 (Eochon New Deal 300) project, step-by-step solutions were prepared, increasing the actual execution rate of the project and producing early results in 'Filling new vitality into fishing villages through Eochon New Deal 300.' Also, 'All export obstacles cleared in the COVID-19 era!' which strengthened support for export companies through deregulation and improved administrative efficiency, was selected as an excellent case.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has been selecting and announcing excellent cases of proactive administration annually since last year to share achievements and create momentum for proactive administration. Employees who contributed to the selected excellent cases will be designated as 'Excellent Proactive Public Officials,' awarded the Minister’s Commendation, and given benefits such as top-grade performance pay and reward leave.

Oh Young-rok, the Ministry’s Innovation Administration Officer, stated, "We will continue to do our best to establish proactive administration as a public service culture so that it can be manifested throughout the marine and fisheries sector."
