A search is continuing off Oryukdo after tugboat TNS Catcher capsized and sank, with six crew still missing, one confirmed dead and one rescued.

A 10,000-tonne floating dock was transported, launched, and wet towed to the Korea Coast Guard pier in Mokpo.

A grounding near Jokdo halted the Queen Jenuvia 2’s Jeju–Mokpo voyage, leading to a full evacuation of 267 people and an investigation into navigational negligence.
