1. App. 150~160 villagers were involved in cleanup operationsand 150~200tons of wastes were collected and stockpiled
2. Bulk oil removal is the top priority followed by wipe up, andlow pressure cleanings is needed on the rocks and pebbles
3. 4WD truck should be deployed to carry response materials
and an access road is needed
4. Total no. of villagers involved to date is 123 and possible
manpower is app. 150~160.. External workers would be
difficult to find food, lodging, clothes…etc for non-locals
5. Over 500 ton of car ferry is possible to berth to the port andcrane on the port seems to be involved to carry responseresources

. Conclusion (Lesson Learnt)

1. Efforts to make systematic national contingency plan andresponse capability were not that effective despite thepreparedness in Korea for oil spill response
2. More than 1.2mil volunteers gathered to help but a weak point
was found in managing that number of people
3. Realized the importance of training and exercising for spillresponse
4. No one except KOEM staffs were able to maneuver response
equipment therefore there should be a plan for training andmobilizing private response resources
