Chungnam Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute Launches "Mobile Repair Service"

Mobile Repair Service for Fishing Vessels and Equipment
Free Inspections and Repairs Begin on the 22nd

Chungnam Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute will operate a mobile repair service that visits and inspects boats starting from the 22nd.

The Chungnam Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute announced on the 21st that it will officially launch the "Mobile Repair Service" project starting from the 22nd, aiming to reduce both the economic burden and inconvenience for fishermen.

The Mobile Repair Service is a field-oriented support initiative for fishermen, where teams visit fishing villages operating vessels in geographically disadvantaged areas and provide free inspections and repairs for fishing boats and equipment.

The mobile repair service offers free support of up to 200,000 won per household. Fishermen in need of repairs or parts replacement will receive free inspections and replacements of consumables and equipment parts for their fishing boats.

Repairs and inspections of fishing vessels will be directly carried out by specialized boat repair companies affiliated with the provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute. Maintenance technicians will travel to the sites and provide prompt repair and inspection services.

The institute expects that, this year, more than 800 fishing boats managed and operated by 87 fishing communities within the province will benefit from the program.

Jang Mingyu, Director of the Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute, stated, "We will prioritize visiting island and remote fishing villages where access to repair companies is difficult, in order to alleviate the inconvenience faced by fishermen." He added, "We plan to continuously expand and operate customized repair services that reflect the voices of those working in the fishing industry."
