A South Korean Coast Guard vessel worth 17 billion won ($13 million USD) has sunk and been written off due to negligence, sparking concerns about a serious lapse in discipline within the service. An investigation revealed that a significant number of Coast Guard accidents in 인천 (Incheon) stem from basic failures in safety management protocols. This incident highlights a systemic issue of laxity and inadequate oversight.
