[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 29th, Moon Sung-hyuk, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, visited the site of the Judo Port Fishing Village New Deal project in Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, to check the progress of the project.

The Judo Port Fishing Village New Deal is a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries public contest project with a total budget of 14.1 billion KRW, including 9.8 billion KRW from the national government and 1.3 billion KRW from the provincial government.

A basic plan has been established to create fishing port infrastructure reinforcement, coastal walking trails, leisure boat mooring facilities, fishing gear storage warehouses, and construction has been actively underway since May 2020.

As a living SOC project, the extension construction of the southern breakwater of Judo Village, which was ordered first, was completed in May, and the coastal walking trail connecting Judo Port and Gwangam Beach is currently being paved. Safety railings and landscape lighting will be installed as follow-up processes later.

The installation of the fishing gear storage warehouse involves demolishing the existing old warehouse and constructing a new one, expected to be completed by mid-December. Upon completion, it is expected to improve fishermen’s working environment and contribute to creating a clean environment by storing fishing gear and nets in the warehouse.

As fishing port infrastructure, extension works of the Judo West Breakwater, Jungchon Breakwater, and Jungchon East Breakwater are currently underway, and the overall project progress rate of Judo Port is currently 80%, with full efforts being made to manage the schedule for a fast and safe completion.

On this day, Ahn Kyung-won, the first deputy mayor, reported that the Fishing Village New Deal projects (8 sites) selected and promoted from 2019 to 2021 are progressing normally, and requested Minister Moon to ensure that the city can be selected for three or more sites in the 2022 contest as well.

Minister Moon said, "I ask for active cooperation from local governments and residents so that Judo Port can become the representative brand of Changwon-si’s Fishing Village New Deal 300 project."
