Jeju Coast Guard Conducts On-Site Inspections of Harbors and Ports in Preparation for Typhoon

The Jeju Coast Guard Station is continuing on-site inspections of local ports, harbors, and coastal accident-prone areas to prepare for the approaching typhoon.

According to Jeju Coast Guard on the 26th, the average number of typhoons affecting South Korea over the past five years is four per year (a total of 20). Among them, 14 typhoons passed through the Jeju waters during the five years, and a total of 15 ship accidents, including harbor flooding and capsizing, occurred during typhoon approaches.

The Jeju Coast Guard recently visited local ports and harbors, including Samyang 1-dong, where a tetrapod accident occurred, to check the mooring status of docked fishing boats and leisure equipment in preparation for the typhoon. They also plan to inspect safety management facilities and other risk factors at coastal accident-prone tetrapod sites.

Additionally, the day before, they visited Doduhang Port, Jeju Port, and Jeju Police Substation to inspect fishing boats, pilot boats, and water leisure equipment in preparation for the typhoon. They confirmed key typhoon preparedness measures at the Jeju Police Substation and checked the readiness of coastal rescue boats and rescue equipment.

Ji Guk-hyun, Chief of Jeju Coast Guard Station, said, “We will create a safe Jeju sea without accidents through proactive and continuous on-site inspections, vulnerability analysis, and thorough accident preparedness within our jurisdictional waters.”
