Gyeongnam Changwon Maritime Police are conducting safety inspections on multi-use vessels in preparation for the summer peak season.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Changwon Maritime Police Station in Gyeongnam will implement a period of strengthened safety management for multi-use vessels from the 23rd of this month to August 31st.

During this period, Changwon Maritime Police plans to proactively eliminate safety hazards to prevent accidents involving fishing boats and passenger ferries.

Measures during this period include ▲ safety inspections of passenger ferry businesses in preparation for the peak season ▲ enhanced patrols to prevent accidents on major multi-use vessel routes ▲ safety education for multi-use vessel workers ▲ special crackdowns to eradicate safety-threatening behaviors due to increased summer passengers.
