The Korea Maritime Rescue Association is an organization established for the sound development of the maritime and rescue industry by supporting search and rescue and salvage activities on the sea surface in accordance with the “Act on Search and Rescue on Water.”

In particular, the Jeonnam Western Branch of the Korea Maritime Rescue Association has established a close working cooperation system with Mokpo Maritime Police, contributing to the safe rescue of all crew members through active support during a ship fire near Gujado, Jindo-gun, in March last year.

Jo Yoon-jae, the new president, stated, “We will actively cooperate with the maritime police in rescue and salvage operations in the event of maritime accidents and participate in public interest activities to raise awareness of maritime accident prevention and safety management.”
