Just as captain Yoon developed a path newly that was not previously known as a deep-sea fishery, his '60 year old juniors' also took a new path to the shipyard on the 27th at 3 pm at Yong-ho landfill having a ceremony of 61st departure. On the day, 120 people including 87 students and professors from the PKNU marine production system management and mechanical system engineering departments and crews departed from Busan on the training vessel 'Gaya' (1,737 tons • captain, professor Lee Jong-geun) It sails total 2,660 miles (4,926 km) from Busan, passing through Ji-long, Taiwan, Kagoshima, Japan, and Vladivostok, Russia to the Port of Pusan 30 days after on the 26th of next month, In this course, students learn theories taught in the classroom about ship management, such as ship navigation, ship engine operation, fishing practice, etc. They visit sister-university and fisheries and marine related organizations such as Kagoshima University in Japan for further friendship and goodwill.
In the past 61 years, the number of vessels used for embarkation training and ocean exploration has increased to 13, so PKNU has been a pioneer of marine exploration. Students have taken the lead in establishing a network for marine resource development and international cooperation through drillings on the ocean through embarkation training including Japan, Russia, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Guam, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Samoa, Hawaii and Alaska. Wang Yao (24), a third-year Chinese student in the Marine Production System Administration, said, "I am excited to participate in the training on board the ship," and said, "I will study hard to make this voyage a wonderful experience in my life." The president Kim Young-seup, through his words of encouragement, "taking over the passion and challenge of our seniors who have developed the marine fisheries power today, let us open a new path in the sea with pride and pride." <Pukyong Today> |
