Bordeaux and South Korea’s opposing approaches to port swimming
In Bordeaux (France), the Grand Port Maritime swimming crossing took place on 7 June. Organised by the Girondins club, it raises awareness of environmental issues linked to the river. This year, it is part of the EDF Aqua Challenge, a national competition with 10 stages. In South Korea, by contrast, the government is imposing restrictions on swimming activities at small fishing ports such as Panpo Port and Wolryeong Port. These ports went viral on social media and attracted large crowds, leading to a rise in accidents. The average number of drownings in Jeju during summer rose from 8 to 13 between 2022 and 2025. The revised Fishing Villages and Fishery Harbors Act now bans swimming at fishing ports and imposes fines of up to 500,000 won, enforceable from April 2027.

The five new berths are expected to boost port capacity from 15 to 22 million containers a year.

It targets ports and logistics, chemicals and life sciences, construction and agribusiness. Projects must develop new processes, circular solutions or technological applications and strengthen regional economic activity. Applications open on June 1st, 2026
