Gyeongnam Sacheon Maritime Police Station.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Sacheon Coast Guard in Gyeongnam announced on the morning of the 2nd that it will issue the "Interest" level of the Safety Accident Risk Forecast System from the morning of the 2nd until the dissipation of Typhoon Hinnamnor (No. 11) and strengthen marine safety accident prevention activities.

The Safety Accident Risk Forecast System informs the public of the risk when safety accidents are likely to occur or have occurred due to weather deterioration or natural disasters at specific times in dangerous places or zones along the coastal sea.

The Sacheon Coast Guard stated that a wind wave advisory has been issued for the outer sea on the eastern side of Namhae, Gyeongnam, and a preliminary wind wave advisory has been announced for the western Namhae coastal waters.

Due to the influence of the super-strong typhoon Hinnamnor, it is expected that moist air and cold air coming down from the north will meet and bring heavy rain to the Gyeongnam region.

The Coast Guard plans to strengthen patrols focusing on accident-prone areas such as harbors, fishing ports, breakwaters, and rocky shores in the responsible area and take measures to prevent marine accidents.

A Coast Guard official said, "From the afternoon of the 2nd, high waves will strongly surge in the coastal waters under the wind wave advisory, and there will be places where waves will overflow rocky shores or breakwaters," adding, "Please absolutely avoid dangerous areas such as breakwaters and coastal areas and be careful to prevent safety accidents such as casualties."
