Tridge summary

The Korea Maritime and Ocean University recently announced that it has entered into a student internship cooperation agreement with Pukyong National University.

This has made practical understanding and education more seamless. The practical training and internship process for longline fishing operations is managed by the Department of Marine Production System at Pukyong National University.
