[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Mokpo Maritime Police Station announced on the 13th that it conducted a joint inspection with related organizations at the Bukhang Pier in Mokpo City on the 12th to prevent fire accidents on docked vessels.

On that day, the Mokpo Maritime Police, along with related organizations including Mokpo City Hall, Mokpo Fire Station, and the Mokpo Fishing Vessel Safety Operation Bureau of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, directly visited Bukhang to inspect the docked vessels and discuss measures to prevent ship fire accidents.

The main measures include ▲expansion of fire extinguishing facilities in harbors and fishing ports ▲support for throwable automatic fire extinguishers (fire balls) ▲strengthened patrols of harbors and fishing ports during vulnerable periods and times ▲fire prevention safety guidance broadcasts ▲inspection of CCTV within harbors and fishing ports ▲management of fire vulnerability factors inside vessels.

Subsequently, the maritime police shared cases of ship fire accidents that occurred within the harbor with related organizations and strengthened an organic cooperation system for prompt response in case of accidents.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official said, “If a fire occurs on vessels densely docked within the harbor, large-scale human and property damage may occur,” adding, “We will do our best to minimize damage from fire accidents by establishing accident prevention measures.”
