Seoul mulls partial lifting of ban on travel to Kaesong
2010-11-28
It's like the artillery shelling never happened.
SEOUL, Nov. 28 -- South Korea is considering partially lifting a ban on trips to an inter-Korean industrial complex in North Korea in an effort to help South Korean companies produce goods without a hitch, a government source said Sunday.

Seoul imposed the ban on trips to the industrial park in the North Korean border town of Kaesong due to safety concerns on Wednesday, a day after the North launched a deadly artillery attack on a South Korean island, killing four people.

"South Korean companies there are suffering difficulties shipping raw materials and finished goods due to the ban," the source said. "Given that, the government is considering allowing delivery vehicles and staff to travel to Kaesong."

As of Friday, about 550 South Koreans were staying at the industrial park that employs 44,000 North Korean workers, according to Seoul's Unification Ministry. The number is a drop of about 230 from Tuesday, when the communist state shelled Yeonpyeong Island near the tense inter-Korean maritime border.

#1  Delivery vehicles and staff?
Sounds like a chance for preprovisioning fuel and FOs.
