[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province conducted an emergency on-site inspection in preparation for the approaching Typhoon No. 11, ‘Hinnamnor’.

On the 5th, the province announced that Governor Kim Tae-heum visited Anheunghang Port in Taean to check the typhoon preparedness status, including control of ship entry and exit, sheltering, mooring conditions, and safety measures for offshore cage aquaculture farms.

Currently, a total of 1,768 fishing vessels are sheltering at major ports and harbors such as Anheunghang in Chungnam, and 44 offshore cage aquaculture farms (6,678 cages) are installed and operated within the jurisdiction.

Governor Kim said, “Hinnamnor is similar in scale to Typhoon ‘Maemi’ in 2003, raising concerns about damage in the Chungnam area. Since damage can increase during high tide in coastal areas, we will thoroughly prepare to minimize damage by firmly mooring ships and various facilities.”

Meanwhile, the typhoon warning for the province due to Hinnamnor is expected to be issued in the evening of the 5th. Around this time, instantaneous wind speeds are forecasted to be around 94?115 km/h, and after the typhoon passes, the maximum instantaneous wind speed in the southern Chungnam region is expected to reach 140 km/h.

Precipitation is expected to record around 100 mm to 300 mm over two days starting from the 5th, with some areas experiencing heavy rain of 50 mm to 100 mm per hour.
