This exercise, held at the Mokpo Maritime Police Crisis Management Office, simulated the flooding of a fishing vessel. The scenario began with the establishment of the station's regional rescue headquarters, and involved on-site rescue teams such as patrol vessels, police substations, and the West Sea Special Rescue Unit, who carried out the procedures for handling the flooding accident.

Additionally, after the exercise, a debriefing was held to identify areas for improvement, select discussion topics such as issues to be reviewed in the event of a similar real-life accident, analyze problems, and discuss solutions.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official stated, “We will continue to maintain a thorough state of preparedness through ongoing training and strengthen our maritime accident response capabilities.”
