According to Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province on April 14, Governor Kim visited a series of major industrial and logistics hubs on this day, including the Smart Waterfront City, Saemangeum Development Authority, Gunsan Shipyard, a precursor factory for secondary batteries, and the planned site for Saemangeum International Airport.

In the morning, Governor Kim received a briefing on the status of the Smart Waterfront City at the on-site office, then checked the progress of construction from the observatory. He then visited the Saemangeum Development Authority, where he met with officials from the Hydrogen Robot Propulsion Task Force (TF) to review the project's progress and examined the development of future mobility infrastructure.

In the afternoon, he held a meeting with the factory manager and other officials at the Gunsan Shipyard, inspecting major facilities such as the block assembly plant and the Goliath crane to check the readiness for resumption of operations and the workforce supply situation.

Afterwards, he visited LL&F Battery Solutions (LLBS) at the Saemangeum secondary battery specialized complex in Gunsan to assess the plant's operations. He directly inspected the precursor production process for cathode materials and thoroughly reviewed equipment operations and safety management systems, focusing on providing on-site support for businesses.

At the Saemangeum International Airport site, Governor Kim emphasized the importance of establishing a "Triport" that integrates port, rail, and air transport. He believes that completing the logistics infrastructure is essential to realizing the benefits of large-scale investments.
