Seogwipo Coast Guard Conducts In-Person Training for Civilian Marine Rescue Team Members

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Seogwipo Coast Guard Station (Chief Kim Jin-young) announced on the 10th that it conducted face-to-face training and a meeting for 19 civilian marine rescue team members belonging to the Seongsan Police Substation at the Seongsan-ri Fishing Village Office in Seogwipo City.

The civilian marine rescue team under the Seogwipo Coast Guard, consisting of a total of 323 members, has played a significant role as assistants in maritime rescue activities this year, rescuing 30 vessels (103 people).

This training is scheduled to be conducted four times in total for civilian rescue team members belonging to each police substation, and considering that members residing in areas such as Seongsan and Moseulpo find it relatively difficult to participate in training, visiting training sessions will be held by region to increase participation rates.

The main content included basic operation guidelines and compensation system education for the civilian marine rescue team, Heimlich maneuver, use of automated external defibrillators, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency first aid methods in daily life, and winter vessel fire prevention methods. A meeting was held concurrently to listen to difficulties and suggestions.

A Seogwipo Coast Guard official said, “We will respond more quickly to maritime accidents through continuous education, training, various support, and an organic public-private cooperation system.”
