Pyeongtaek Port Harbor Navigation Vessel

The Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority will operate an eco-friendly port guide boat starting from the 16th. This is a measure to practice carbon neutrality.

On the 13th, the Pyeongtaek Port Authority announced that it will operate an eco-friendly port guide boat that allows domestic and international customers visiting Pyeongtaek Port to tour the entire Pyeongtaek Port area by sea, including the international passenger terminal, container terminal, and automobile terminal.

The port guide boat to be deployed this year is a 16-meter powerboat equipped with a hybrid propulsion system, including solar panels and lithium batteries, making it the first of its kind in Korea. The vessel is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a recyclable, low-carbon, eco-friendly marine material.

Kim Seok-gu, President of the Pyeongtaek Port Authority, stated, "In line with Gyeonggi Province's 2050 carbon neutrality realization project, ‘Switch the Gyeonggi,’ we are operating an eco-friendly port guide boat as part of policies to proactively respond to the climate crisis. To achieve carbon neutrality, the Pyeongtaek Port Authority plans to promote low-carbon innovation across various business areas."

Meanwhile, the port guide boat will operate once daily from Tuesday to Saturday, with a minimum reservation of eight people.
