The Busan Port Seafarers' Welfare Committee and the Busan Christian Maritime Association are delivering Christmas gifts to seafarers arriving at Busan Port for the year-end and New Year holidays.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Port Seafarers' Welfare Committee and the Busan Christian Maritime Association held a Christmas party and delivered gifts for domestic and foreign seafarers arriving at Busan Port.

The Busan Port Seafarers' Welfare Committee and the Busan Christian Maritime Association held a 'Christmas Gift Package Sharing' event and a 'Christmas Party' on the 22nd.

Unlike the past three years, this year the Christmas party and gift packages were prepared and delivered in person, with hymns and events to comfort the hard work of the seafarers.

At the Christmas gift package sharing event, gift packages worth a total of 10 million KRW were delivered to seafarers arriving at Busan Gamcheon Port, North Port Pier 5, Sinsundae Pier, and Gammam Pier to comfort them.

The Busan Christian Maritime Association groups hold an annual event to distribute Christmas packages to comfort seafarers arriving at Busan Port during the year-end and New Year holidays.

The Christmas party was held at the Seafarers' Center in Jungang-dong, hosted by the Busan Christian Maritime Association, inviting about 30 seafarers, considering the COVID-19 situation.

The Busan Port Seafarers' Welfare Committee, Busan Christian Maritime Association groups, SEA WAVE, Busan Port Pilots Association, Korea Maritime Officers Association, and others sponsored a total of 10 million KRW for this event.

Jeon Young-woo, chairman of the Busan Port Seafarers' Welfare Committee, said, "The situation where seafarers still cannot disembark even after crossing the ocean continues. I hope related organizations, groups, shipping companies, and frontline captains will make more efforts so that seafarers can freely disembark."
