"Creating Clean Coastlines"... S-OIL Donates 50 Million KRW to 'Ulsan Sea'

S-OIL donated 50 million KRW to help create a clean sea in front of Ulsan.

On the 23rd, S-OIL announced that it delivered the ‘Public-Private-Ulsan Coastal Underwater Cleanup Support Fund’ to the Korea Maritime Rescue Association at the Dong-gu Bangeojin Port branch of the Ulsan Maritime Rescue Association.

On that day, about 200 people including S-OIL, Ulsan area volunteers, honorary marine monitors, and youth reporters carried out coastal cleanup activities at Bangeojin Port.

The 50 million KRW project fund provided by S-OIL will be used to support personnel such as the Coast Guard Special Rescue Unit and private divers from the Korea Maritime Rescue Association, as well as to operate equipment for underwater cleanup activities including cranes and water motorcycles. The Ulsan Coast Guard plans to lead and support marine pollution prevention education and safety during underwater cleanup activities.
