Mipo, Songjeong, Hakri and Icheon Ports Set for Major Makeover... Busan Secures 13.9 Billion Won for Fishing Village New Deal
Two areas in Haeundae and Gijang selected for the "Fishing Village Recovery" track
Fishing ports to be upgraded and living amenities expanded from 2027 to 2030
Busan's Mipo and Songjeong ports in Haeundae-gu and Hakri and Icheon ports in Gijang-gun have been selected for fishing village regeneration projects. The government will invest 13.9 billion won to upgrade aging fishing port facilities and expand residents' living spaces and amenities.
Busan City, led by Mayor Jeon Jaesu, announced Tuesday that Mipo and Songjeong ports in Haeundae-gu and Hakri and Icheon ports in Gijang-gun had been selected in the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' call for proposals for the 2027 Fishing Village New Deal 3.0 project.
The two areas will pursue projects under the "Fishing Village Recovery" program to improve residents' living conditions and safety facilities at fishing ports. The projects will run for four years, from 2027 to 2030. The total budget is 19.9 billion won, including 13.9 billion won in government funding.
A "Fishing Village Station" will be built at each project site to provide residents with welfare and care services and offer guidance to visitors. The projects will introduce eco-friendly energy systems, including solar power facilities, and upgrade local amenities and fishing port infrastructure. They will also offer training to strengthen residents' capabilities and run social innovation programs.
Fishing Village New Deal 3.0 is a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries program that takes an integrated approach to regenerating underdeveloped fishing villages and ports. It follows the Fishing Village New Deal 300, which focused on upgrading fishing infrastructure, and the Fishing Village Vitality Promotion program, which aimed to improve residents' living environments. The new program is divided into the "Fishing Village Economic Growth" track, which strengthens local economies, and the "Fishing Village Recovery" track, which improves living conditions.
Since 2019, Busan City has invested 79.3 billion won in nine fishing ports through the Fishing Village New Deal 300 program and 14.3 billion won in two areas through the Fishing Village Vitality Promotion program.
