[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Mokpo Coast Guard announced on the 4th that it held an internal situation assessment meeting on the 3rd to prepare for the northward approach of Typhoon No. 11 ‘Hinnamnor’ and has entered an emergency duty system.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, Typhoon ‘Hinnamnor’ is expected to directly and indirectly affect all nearby seas around South Korea, including Jeju Island, between the 4th and 6th.

Accordingly, Mokpo Coast Guard activated the regional rescue headquarters to prevent typhoon damage and maritime accidents, monitored the typhoon’s path in real time, and checked preparedness measures by function.

The Coast Guard controlled access to dangerous areas, expanded coastal patrols, maintained a state of immediate readiness in preparation for the typhoon’s northward movement, and strengthened cooperation systems with related agencies.

In addition, they are encouraging fishing vessels operating in their jurisdictional waters to take early refuge in safe zones, and are making every effort to prevent typhoon damage by inspecting emergency contact systems in preparation for accidents involving long-term moored vessels and high-risk ships in ports and harbors.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official said, “Both patrol vessels and substations have entered emergency status and are doing their best to prevent any damage caused by the typhoon.”
