IPA Provides Real-Time Operation Information for Passenger Ships at Incheon Port Coastal Area

Incheon Port Authority (IPA) announced on the 31st that it will provide real-time operation information for coastal passenger ships connecting Incheon Port with islands in the West Sea such as Baengnyeongdo and Yeonpyeongdo.

Coastal passenger ship users can check the departure and arrival times of passenger ships reflecting real-time weather conditions by accessing the Incheon Port Passenger Terminal website via smartphone or PC.

Previously, even if the passenger ship operation times changed due to worsening weather, the operation information system was not updated in real time, causing passengers to wait at the terminal without knowing the exact schedule.

IPA expects that once the service usage becomes active, the number of people waiting inside the coastal passenger terminal will decrease, alleviating congestion in the waiting rooms and parking lots.

Lee Kyung-gyu, President of IPA, said, "Due to frequent changes in passenger ship operation times caused by abnormal weather, we introduced a real-time operation information service to minimize passenger inconvenience," adding, "We will continue to improve the service for more convenient passenger ship use in the future."
