According to Mokpo Maritime Police on the 13th, a safety transportation plan has been established and implemented to ensure the safe transfer of high school examinees from Sinan and Jindo areas moving to Mokpo (mainland) for the college entrance exam.

The Maritime Police plan to deploy patrol vessels to directly transport examinees upon request from the respective school principals in case of emergencies such as passenger ferries being unable to operate due to bad weather on the preliminary gathering day on the 15th and the exam day on the 16th.

This year, a total of 57 examinees from island areas within the jurisdiction, including 55 students from Dochodo High School in Sinan County and 2 students from Jodo High School in Jindo County, will take the exam at the test site prepared in Mokpo.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official stated, “We will make every effort to ensure the smooth arrival of island area examinees at the mainland test site in preparation for any unforeseen situations such as maritime weather deterioration.”
