The CEO said, "More important than anything else is your health and safety," and expressed the wish that everyone has a cool and healthy summer while prioritizing safety.

Hanwha Ocean is implementing systematic support measures to prevent heat-related illnesses. It is flexibly increasing morning and afternoon rest periods based on the perceived temperature.

Additionally, it has tripled the temporary rest areas equipped with air conditioning, water purifiers, and saline glucose compared to last year. Nutrient-rich meals and fresh fruit punch, along with beverages, are provided 2 to 3 times a week.
