Busan Port Authority.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) recently completed the detailed safety inspection service, which began in May this year to ensure the safety of port facilities at Busan Port.

This year's detailed safety inspection was conducted on 13 sites in Bukhang and 5 sites in Sinhang.

For the 18 inspection sites, both above-ground and underwater facilities were subjected to on-site visual inspections and material testing, and the safety grade of the facilities was confirmed through condition assessments.

As a result of the detailed safety inspection, all 18 facilities received a B grade (Good). The B grade indicates minor defects in auxiliary members but no impairment in functional performance.

BPA plans to carry out maintenance work in 2023 after conducting detailed design based on the inspection results to enhance the durability of the facilities.

Min Byung-geun, BPA Vice President of Construction, stated, “We will do our best to create a safe Busan Port by systematically conducting safety inspections according to relevant laws and efficiently maintaining facilities to improve safety levels and prevent major civil disasters.”
