Tongyeong begins construction of modern seafood auction market
Tongyeong, a city in South Korea's South Gyeongsang Province, has started building a modern seafood auction market.
The 19.5 billion won project will build two low-temperature, eco-friendly buildings in the Dongho-dong area.
It replaces ageing auction facilities that the city says need modernisation.
The new buildings are intended to protect seafood from heat, rain and outside contamination and provide cleaner working conditions.
Separate areas for unloading, sorting and auctions are meant to make work more efficient.
The project is scheduled for completion in December 2027, and the city says it expects the upgrades to support local fisheries and improve the surrounding environment.
