Working Conditions Aboard the Seju-Pioneer

On June 6, 2019, at 11 p.m., a maritime incident occurred off the coast of Yokji Island, Tongyeong, when the cargo ship 'Seju Pioneer' collided with a fishing vessel. The accident resulted in significant water ingress in the stern of the fishing vessel, prompting the Korean Coast Guard to step in and assist. They towed the damaged fishing vessel back to Yokji Island for emergency repairs. Fortunately, the 'Seju Pioneer' experienced only minor damage from the incident and was able to continue to its intended destination of Jeju Island under its own power. This ship successfully arrived in Busan on June 12, 2019, without further complications.
