This inspection is being carried out to prevent damage caused by recent consecutive heavy rains and typhoon invasions.

The Seogwipo Coast Guard closely examined the safety status of moored vessels and facilities within the ports, checked the equipment management and operational status of the maritime patrol unit, and reviewed the cooperation system with local governments regarding response to accidents at beaches.

Additionally, they encouraged maritime patrol personnel, listened to their suggestions, and urged the strengthening of patrols for rapid response and accident prevention in case of emergencies.

Chief Yoon Tae-yeon stated, “We will do our best to prevent accidents by thoroughly checking and addressing all possible safety measures in advance to avoid any incidents caused by heavy rains.”
