Questions about the Contract of Undine as the Sole Rescue Company

Kim Ou-joon, the president of Ddanzi media group, argued that Undine (Undine Marine Industries), the only rescue company that is contracted by the government for the Sewol ferry, played a "nail barge," in his TV show [Kim Uh-joon's kfc] on May 1st. Kim raised a question about the fairness behind Undine's being contracted as the only private company to take part in the rescue of the Sewol ferry. He said, "the minute of a meeting convened by the vice minister of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, on the day of the accident, specified Undine already as the only rescue company, and then in 14 days after the meeting (April 30th), the company's name is deleted, out of the blue."
Kim provided evidences that Undine played a "nail barge." The first barge that arrived at the site was 123 Kumho, which proved to have been dispatched by Undine. Then the second barge Hyundai Boryung of Ocean C & I (Ocean Construction and Installation), whose capacity was approved to be proper for the Sewol rescue by the Korean Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, arrived at the site. But Hyundai Boryung had only to stand by for 56 hours, being unable to do anything while 123 Kumho was in charge. When the third barge Undine's Libero arrived, 123 Kumho yielded the way to Libero. Kim argued this was the manipulative holdout (a.k.a. "nail barge") by Undine who calculated the costs and benefits of monopolizing the rescue. The problem was that the Sewol passengers who might as well have been alive at the moment were dying trapped in the sinking ferry. As a matter of fact, Hyundai Boryung is twice as big as Undine's Libero and is sturdier to manage the heavy diving bells that should have been used earlier.




Kim made a point that the contract Undine had got with the government ultimately has left the kids die in the ferry. It is because as soon as a private company is granted the monopoly in the entire rescue process, the lives of the passengers could get behind in the company's priority. The priority of a private enterprise can be monetary gain even at the sight of dying people. "Who decided Undine as the sole rescue company, while its ability was not proved?"
The first official meeting to set up the countermeasures was convened by the vice minister of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries at 8pm on the day of accident. The meeting minute included "Eunjin-sa" on the column of the "rescue company's opinion." When asked by Ddanzi reporters, a personnel of the Ministry provided an explanation that "Eunjin" was a transcription error for "Undine." In the minute of the second meeting of the Ministry, Undine was found in the "rescue company contracted." However on April 30th, 14 days afterwards, right after Ddanzi reporters questioned who decided Undine as the sole rescue company, the meeting minutes got revised by deleting the name "Undine." Kim continued, "Why was the name Undine deleted from the meeting minutes? Can that be possible? Who decided Undine as the rescue company on the very day of the accident? This decision left the kids die while wasting the golden time for real rescue. We shall delve into this very decision." 연출 : 이경주, 박수진, 정주용, 종합편집: 박수진, 정주용
