‘Haegyeong Seobu Jeongbichang Shipbuilding Equipment Partner Council’ Meeting Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] The Coast Guard Western Maintenance Yard Shipbuilding Equipment Partner Council (hereinafter referred to as the Coast Guard Maintenance Yard Council) held a meeting on the 20th.

The Coast Guard Maintenance Yard Council was organized this year to contribute to the improvement of technology and revitalization of the shipbuilding industry through cooperation among shipbuilding equipment companies in the Mokpo area.

At this meeting, attended by Mokpo city officials and 39 member companies of the council, the current status of the maintenance yard and the bylaws were discussed, and through the election of executives, Song Ju-yong was appointed as chairman and Choi Seong as secretary general.

Chairman Song Ju-yong expressed his aspirations, saying, “I feel a great sense of responsibility as I take on an important role at this time when repair and maintenance have expanded to the western region due to the establishment of the Coast Guard Western Maintenance Yard. I will do my best to maintain an organic relationship between the institution and companies to promote the development of partner companies and the establishment of the Western Maintenance Yard.”

The head of the Mokpo City Regional Economy Division said, “Thank you for inviting me to this valuable occasion. I hope the Coast Guard Maintenance Yard Council will play a pivotal role in the construction project of the Western Maintenance Yard and further become a great cornerstone for revitalizing the Mokpo regional economy.”

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard Western Maintenance Yard construction project is underway with a total project cost of 238.79 billion KRW, aiming for completion in 2025, due to limitations such as exceeding the repair capacity of the current maintenance yard and delays in entrusted repairs at the naval maintenance yard caused by the lack of repair facilities for large vessels. The project includes port, commercial, and building facilities.
