Mokpo Coast Guard, Joint Public-Private Regional Specialization Training

Strengthening Rescue Cooperation Systems and On-Site Response Capabilities

Mokpo Maritime Police Station (Chief Kwon Oseong) announced on the 19th that a joint civilian-government training tailored to the region was conducted on the 18th at the Odo Dock in Amtae-myeon, Shinan-gun, to strengthen the cooperation system with private rescue forces and enhance on-site response capabilities.

This training, attended by officers from the Mokpo Maritime Police Amtae Substation, officials from the Shinan-gun Culture and Tourism Department, and representatives from Shinan-gun 1004 Yacht Tour, simulated a complex situation where a yacht ran aground due to shallow water, resulting in a person falling overboard from the impact. The maritime police then performed a rescue and subsequent water removal operations, thereby improving response abilities and inter-agency cooperation.

In addition to the training, various coastal safety education activities were conducted, including: sharing current issues of maritime accidents near Amtaedo reflecting the characteristics of foggy seasons and shallow waters; explaining SOS distress signal transmission training and distributing glow-in-the-dark stickers on site; providing hands-on AED and CPR training using mannequins; and teaching equipment-based rescue methods for accidents involving people falling into the sea due to surge waves at popular fishing and camping spots near Odo Port in Amtaedo.

A representative of Mokpo Maritime Police stated, "This is the season when the number of tourists surges due to the revitalization of maritime tourist attractions," and added, "We will continue to do our best to strengthen on-site response capabilities through ongoing region-specific training."
