This inspection was carried out at sea using patrol boats from the Busan Coast Guard as a measure to establish a rapid response system among related agencies in preparation for the potential occurrence of illegal activities such as smuggling and illegal entry at ports.

The participating organizations conducted on-site inspections of key areas, including the quay walls of Gamcheon Port, focusing on the status of protective facilities, locations of past security incidents, and vulnerable safety zones.

In particular, efforts were made to enhance the effectiveness of inter-agency collaboration by sharing information and reviewing on-site response processes.

Song Sangkeun, President of Busan Port Authority, stated, "Busan Port is at the forefront of the nation's ports and serves as a crucial gateway at the maritime border. Ahead of the successful hosting of APEC 2025, we have strengthened both day and night unannounced inspections and simulation drills. We will further reinforce the port security network not only at sea but also through cooperation with land-based police and military units."
