(Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Eun-ji = The Korea Coast Guard announced that it will operate a special marine safety management period from the 5th to the 30th due to the recent series of marine casualties.

During this period, the Coast Guard plans to conduct on-site inspections centered on commanders, while forward deploying Coast Guard ships and rescue equipment to accident-risk areas.

In addition, safety management will be strengthened focusing on sea areas with a high concentration of multi-use and leisure vessels and fishing boats, and 24-hour emergency response will be maintained.

We plan to provide intensive guidance and crackdown on actions that are considered major causes of marine accidents, such as not wearing life jackets, overloading or overboarding, and not reporting crew members.

Acting Chief of the Coast Guard Insik Jang said, “You must wear a life jacket when boarding a ship or working on the coast,” and asked, “If an emergency situation occurs at sea, please quickly request rescue from a rescue agency.”

Previously, on the 2nd, a tugboat capsized off the coast of Busan, leaving six people missing and one person dead.

On this day, a motorboat capsized in the sea near Yeongjong Island, Incheon, killing two of the nine crew members.

Also, on this day, two people lost their lives in a drowning accident on a beach in Mangyang-ri, Giseong-myeon, Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
