The event was attended by 15 major client companies of Yeosu Gwangyang Port, including GS Caltex, Korea National Oil Corporation, Yeochun NCC, Lotte Chemical, LG Chem, Hanwha Solutions, Hanwha, Namhae Chemical, Hu-Chems, and Kumho P&B Chemicals.

The plant manager of Namhae Chemical, who attended the meeting, expressed gratitude to the Authority, saying, "Thanks to the temporary increase in berthing capacity at Nakpo Pier in May, we were able to import urea in a timely manner. As a result, we were able to greatly alleviate the difficulties that domestic farmers faced in securing fertilizer during the busy farming season."

To resolve the challenges that Yeosu Industrial Complex resident companies face in independently coordinating work with other organizations, the Authority plans to play a bridging role among related institutions and actively support business consultations going forward.

President Choi Kwan-ho stated, "In line with our policy to revitalize Yeosu Gwangyang Port in connection with the local industry, we will actively reflect the valuable opinions of port users in our policies and continue to improve our systems. Especially during times when resident companies in the Yeosu Industrial Complex are facing difficulties, the role of the Port Authority becomes even more important, and we will spare no effort in providing full support in every possible area."
