As a follow-up to the memorandum of understanding signed in July 2022 to reduce marine litter along the Busan coast, Busan Port Authority has been continuously conducting coastal environmental cleanup activities together with Busan City, the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation, the Korea Maritime Institute, and the Korea Ocean Business Corporation.

Last year, BPA employees also carried out coastal cleanup activities around Cheonseong Port, collecting about 20 sacks of various waste and trash.

Lee Sang-kwon, Head of Construction at BPA, said, “Busan Port Authority is promoting various projects to improve the Busan port environment, such as recycling PET bottles,” and added, “We will continue to make greater efforts to improve the marine environment through resource circulation and coastal cleanup activities.”
