The students directly handled prevention materials such as oil absorbents and oil treatment agents, and experienced various practical exercises including operating thermal imaging cameras, using oil recovery devices, and wearing chemical protective suits.

Through this, they gained practical experience in marine pollution prevention work and acquired specialized knowledge. They were able to gain a more substantial understanding by directly experiencing theoretical content they had previously only encountered in school classes or through the news.

Gu Se-hwa, a student from the Department of Maritime Transportation, said, “It was great to see and experience firsthand the marine pollution prevention tasks that I had only come across through school lessons or news. I learned about various laws related to pollution prevention in the shipping field, which I believe will be very helpful for my future studies.”

A representative of Mokpo Maritime Police Station stated, “We will continue to provide educational programs that allow talented individuals in the marine field, who will lead the future, to acquire practical experience and knowledge.”

Through this, it is expected that students will develop not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills, enabling them to shine even more in the future marine sector.
