[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Regional Coast Guard Agency (Chief Oh Sang-kwon) announced on the 4th that it conducted a "Capsized and Sunk Vessel Rescue Capability and Expertise Enhancement" training at Hwasun Port, Seogwipo, from the 2nd to the 3rd.

This training involved rescue and emergency police officers from the Jeju agency participating in a high-difficulty underwater rescue drill that simulated removing various obstacles such as nets and rescuing survivors trapped inside a vessel, using a structure made to resemble a ship cabin.

In particular, through this training, the response capabilities of the rescue team members were enhanced in various dangerous and difficult situations, and by accumulating practical experience, their situational response capabilities were further strengthened.

A representative of the Jeju Regional Coast Guard Agency stated, "Marine accidents occur regardless of time and weather conditions, so we conduct training with the worst conditions in mind," adding, "We will continue to strengthen the response system for marine accidents through continuous underwater search and rescue training for rescue team members."
