This training was conducted unexpectedly to cultivate the response capabilities of Gamcheon Port security personnel, including the prompt on-site response of security guards in cases of unauthorized departure such as escape or trespassing by foreign seafarers, and CCTV video tracking by the comprehensive control room for escapees.

As the importance of preventing border crimes such as smuggling of drugs and firearms, illegal entry of foreigners, and stowaways at ports has increased recently, BPA conducts unannounced training monthly at Gamcheon Port and joint training annually with related agencies such as the Coast Guard, Customs, and Immigration Office.

President Song Sang-geun of BPA stated, “Gamcheon Port is a national security facility where more than 10,000 vessels enter and exit annually, and we will continue to carry out unannounced training to ensure that no security gaps occur.”
