SEOUL, March 4 (Korea Bizwire) — Forty-one ferry sailings and four flights were canceled nationwide Tuesday, anti-disaster authorities said, amid heavy snow that has blanketed the central provinces of Chungcheong, the southeastern provinces of Gyeongsang and the northeastern province of Gangwon since the weekend.
According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, 41 passenger ships that travel on 30 routes, including those that link Incheon and Baengnyeong Island, and Pohang and Ulleung Island, had suspended services as of 6 a.m.
In addition, four domestic flights — three at Seoul’s Gimpo International Airport and one at Yeosu Airport — were canceled, the agency said.
A heavy snow advisory has been in effect in most Gangwon, Chungcheong and Gyeongsang regions, where up to 50 centimeters of snow have fallen over the past two days. Weather forecasters say snow or rain will continue until Tuesday night in some areas of Gangwon and the east coast.
The heavy snow also led to road closures at three locations in Gangwon, one in North Chungcheong and six in North Gyeongsang, the agency noted, adding no casualties have been reported so far.
