BPA Conducts Safety Inspection at 'Bukhang Waterfront Park' for World Expo Hosting Event

Busan Port Authority (BPA) conducted a joint safety inspection with private experts on the open area of the North Port Waterfront Park, where the 2030 World Expo hosting celebration event will be held, on the 3rd.

In the open area of the Waterfront Park, the ‘2030 World Expo Hosting Celebration Walking Event’ hosted by Busan City on the 11th, and the ‘World Expo Hosting Celebration Quiz Tour’ hosted by Dong-gu Office in April and May are scheduled to take place.

Additionally, as public interest in the North Port redevelopment project has recently increased, inquiries about holding events related to the 2030 World Expo hosting have continued.

To meet the expectations of citizens wishing for the World Expo hosting, BPA inspected in advance whether there were any risks of safety accidents or hazards related to the facilities to ensure the events proceed smoothly and safely.

BPA completed the ‘Busan Port North Port Phase 1 Redevelopment Project’ at the end of 2022 and is currently in the process of transferring facilities to Busan City and the relevant district office. BPA plans to cooperate by providing venues and participating in the nationwide government effort to secure the 2030 World Expo hosting.

Furthermore, BPA expects to promote and revitalize Busan and the North Port redevelopment area by holding multiple events in line with the Expo inspection team visit in April and the host city selection in November.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “The North Port redevelopment area will be the stage for the 2030 World Expo, which will write a new history for Busan,” adding, “Our authority will spare no effort to cooperate in realizing Busan’s hosting.”
