Incheon Metropolitan City has initiated joint maritime safety inspections of fishing and recreational vessels, a process scheduled to continue through November 30. Conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Incheon Coast Guard, the inspections aim to prevent accidents during the autumn fishing and travel season.

The inspections specifically target high-risk vessels, including aging boats under 10 tons, vessels with prior accident histories, and small-scale boats with two or fewer crew members. Authorities are checking engine equipment, life jackets, fire extinguishers, and navigation devices. While minor issues are addressed on-site, serious violations such as operating under the influence or exceeding passenger capacity will result in strict administrative penalties.
