Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Kang Jun-seok) conducted special safety inspections at Busan Port sites every day for about three weeks from January 22 to February 8, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. President Kang Jun-seok, along with executives and responsible staff, personally visited the sites.

The inspection targets included all areas of about 40 sites within Busan Port’s operation, construction, and management zones, such as cargo handling sites, hinterland complexes, port construction sites, and multi-use facilities.

On the 8th, BPA President Kang Jun-seok visited Gamcheon Port, where the general pier expansion construction is underway, to check the risk factors and compliance with safety rules together with related personnel.

On the 6th, he, along with Hong Seong-jun, Head of the Operations Headquarters, inspected the safety management status of multi-use facilities such as Busan Port International Passenger Terminal and Bukhang Waterfront Park.

Since these multi-use facilities are expected to attract more visitors than usual during the Lunar New Year holiday period due to returning travelers and tourists, preemptive safety management is very important. The inspection team focused on checking the condition of walking paths, stairs, escalators, and evacuation routes and rescue equipment prepared for emergencies such as fire and drowning accidents.

President Kang Jun-seok stated, “Busan Port must be a facility where both port workers and citizens can always use it safely,” and added, “All executives and employees will do their utmost to ensure safety management so that not a single accident occurs during this Lunar New Year holiday.”
