Mokpo Coast Guard Produces Nation's Best Sea Safety Police Station

Selected as the Best Case in the 'Comprehensive Safety Net Assessment for Vulnerable Marine Areas'

Amtai Police Substation, affiliated with Mokpo Maritime Police Station (Chief Kim Hae-cheol), announced on the 7th that it was selected as the best case in the ‘2023 Comprehensive Safety Net Evaluation for Vulnerable Maritime Areas’ hosted by the Korea Coast Guard.

Amtai Police Substation analyzed characteristics of its jurisdiction, which includes a high proportion of islands without connecting bridges, and the tendency of rapidly increasing demand for passenger ships and other multi-use vessels in the area due to the revitalization of the island tourism industry in Sinan-gun.

Additionally, as the proportion of electric vehicles transported on passenger ships increases annually, they held a fire prevention response meeting to establish a cooperative system with fire departments and passenger ship companies.

In particular, through joint inspections with fire departments and passenger ship companies for early detection and rapid situation dissemination in case of fire, they designated fire-vulnerable areas within passenger ships and installed additional fire detectors.

Meanwhile, through joint civil-government drills on passenger ships, they conducted fire evacuation training for passengers and emergency response education, and independently produced electric vehicle fire prevention checklists and response manuals on passenger ships, perfectly protecting the property and lives of the public.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official stated, “We will do our best to ensure that the public can use the sea with peace of mind through analysis and preventive activities in vulnerable maritime areas within our jurisdiction.”
