On that day, Chief Kim visited the Yeosu Coastal Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Center and the Yeosu Station's Patrol Vessel 508, listened to the current work status, reiterated the importance of prevention, and ordered proactive safety management such as vessel control based on accurate weather analysis.

During the subsequent communication meeting, he listened to the difficulties faced by employees, encouraged the workers by awarding commendations to those with outstanding service, and emphasized that "preventing maritime accidents itself is more important than responding after an accident."

Kim In-chang, Chief of the West Sea Regional Coast Guard Agency, stated, "Since crowds gather during the holiday season, we will focus our capabilities on preventing safety accidents to ensure that the public can have a safe and peaceful Chuseok holiday," and urged, "We ask the public to also make efforts to comply with safety rules themselves."
