The 55th PKNU departure ceremony was held on June 23rd at 2pm in the quay for the school ship of PKNU which is located in Yongho-dong, Nam-gu, Busan. Approximately 300 people participated in this ceremony, including the President of PKNU, Park Meang Eon, the Dean of the College of Fisheries Science, Lee Chun Woo, students and their advisors and family members. Of the 146 people who participated in this training voyage, 110 were junior students who were studying fishing industry and engineering, 3 people were advisors, and 32 people were crew members. The students mostly belong to the Division of Marine Production System Management, and the Department of Mechanical System Engineering. PKNU has a long tradition of this type of voyage and this is the 55th training voyage. They left Busan by Kaya, which is a high-tech vessel for practical training. The ship was expected to arrive in Shanghai, China on July 4th, Keelung, Taiwan on July 11th, and Osaka, Japan on July 18th. After sailing 2,214 miles to these three countries, they planned to return to Busan, Korea on July 27th. The students can learn to operate vessels and apply theories related to the fishing industry while sailing. Students have already practiced a lot in the lecture room throughout the semester. In addition, they can develop their international mindset by visiting other countries, and help to promote international friendships. The President of PKNU, Park Meang Eon, spoke the following words of encouragement, “The key point of green growth to protect the global environment is to gain many food resources from the sea. Therefore, it is really important to lead the fishing industry to the green growth industry. In other words, the students try to pioneer the sea with a sense of duty to blaze a trail in the field of fishing industry and to make its second prime”. <Pukyong Today> |
