MOF has established an emergency response team to prioritize the safety of our vessels and seafarers following the situation in the Middle East. A total of 26 Korean vessels were in the Strait of Hormuz as of 07:00 AM on March 6, and there has been no damage so far. The Ministry maintains a real-time hotline with shipping companies and shares information through a cooperative system with the relevant agencies. It is doing its utmost to protect and support seafarers, including operating communication channels and preparing for emergency repatriation.
MOF will thoroughly manage the situation with the safety of Korean vessels and seafarers as its top priority.
