[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) is selecting the name of a newly constructed eco-friendly port guide vessel through a public contest.

The authority is holding the ‘BPA Eco-Friendly Port Guide Vessel Naming Contest’ to choose an original name that reflects the symbolism of Busan Port, the characteristics of the vessel, and suits its design. Entries will be accepted from the 21st of this month until December 16th.

Anyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Korea can participate in the contest.

BPA is currently building a new guide vessel to replace the existing port guide vessel (Saenuri-ho), which is scheduled to be launched in 2023. The new vessel will be an eco-friendly ship powered entirely by electric batteries.

BPA plans to award a 2 million won Onnuri gift certificate to the first-place winner, a 1 million won Onnuri gift certificate to the second-place winner, and 250,000 won Onnuri gift certificates each to the third and fourth-place winners after the judging process.

Detailed information on how to participate, the application form, and precautions can be found on the BPA website and contest information platforms such as Wevity and ThinkGood.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “The new port guide vessel to be launched will play a role in widely promoting the status of Busan Port as a global logistics hub and its eco-friendly efforts. We hope many citizens will show interest so that a symbolic and original vessel name can be selected through the contest.”
