Jeju civil-military seaport base to open in first half of 2017
Work underway on cruise ship berths

The Jeju civil-military seaport base is set to open in the first half of 2017.

The provincial government has announced that construction has entered the final stages with work now underway on cruise ship berths and amenities.

A meeting was held Thursday with international cruise line representatives to discuss the installation of embarkation and debarkation facilities.

The dual-use port is expected to roughly double the number of cruise travelers coming to Jeju once it opens. Some 620,000 tourists arrived via cruise ship last year, but that total is projected to jump to 1.2 million once the port opens.
