As the South Korean government investigates Chinese-made port cranes over security concerns, several ports recently announced they will stop using them and instead rely on domestic manufacturers.
South Korea’s intelligence agency launched a security investigation against Chinese-made cranes in March. According to South Korean news portal sedaily.com, the Korean government is looking to frame follow-up measures based on the probe results of all Chinese-made cranes currently underway. Steps will also be taken against existing Chinese-made cranes this year.
