BPA officials are holding an emergency countermeasure meeting to prepare for Typhoon Hinnano, the 11th typhoon.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) held an emergency countermeasure meeting on the 2nd, chaired by President Kang Jun-seok, to prepare for the northward approach of Typhoon No. 11 ‘Hinnamnor’, and checked the progress of emergency inspections of port facilities and preemptive safety measures for collective mooring areas for vessels.

The authority expects Typhoon No. 11 ‘Hinnamnor’, a powerful typhoon with maximum wind speeds exceeding 54 m/s, to directly affect the area between the 5th and 6th.

To proactively respond to this typhoon, BPA has been operating an emergency response team since 9 a.m. on the 1st.

Considering the typhoon’s scale and approach timing, the emergency response team will be elevated to an emergency headquarters from 9 a.m. on the 4th, maintaining a 24-hour response system until the typhoon moves out of the affected area.

At the countermeasure meeting, BPA President Kang Jun-seok instructed thorough preventive activities against damage to collective mooring areas expected to be affected by the typhoon, construction sites managed by the authority, and cargo handling equipment.

He also requested related agencies to maintain an emergency communication system at all times to monitor real-time damage and on-site conditions.
