Starting next year, fishing boats with less than 3 tons will also have to buy fishing boat insurance.
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced that the amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Fishing Boat Accident Insurance Act will be approved by the Cabinet and will take effect on January 1 next year.
Fishing boatman insurance is a policy insurance that compensates for disasters of fishing boats killed or injured while working on fishing boats and distributes the owner's heavy accident compensation costs in the form of insurance premiums to help stabilize fishing management.
In addition, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries plans to hire foreign engineers and raise the wages of fishing boats to solve the problem of tuna deep-sea fishing boats not being able to leave on time because they cannot save sailors.
