Jeju Maritime Police Station (Chief So Byeong-yong) announced on the 6th that it distributed life jackets to local fishermen in cooperation with Korea Gas Corporation Jeju LNG Headquarters (Head Hwang Dong-an) the previous day to prevent marine safety accidents during the winter season.

The life jacket distribution campaign, held for the second time this year following last year, was promoted to prevent marine accidents in advance and spread a safety culture by distributing life jackets to local fishermen due to the increased risk of marine accidents such as fishing boat capsizing caused by frequent bad weather during the winter season.
