Being a good captain is not an easy task, not only to know the ship's loading regulations and stowage requirements, but also to clearly understand the sea conditions, wind direction and wind direction, tidal currents and other conditions of the ship at that time. At the same time, we must also have a good idea of the flow of passengers and vehicles, the operation of ship equipment, etc. In addition, it is also necessary to communicate with multiple departments such as ports, traffic management, and maritime.
At 7:30, Zeng Lingyu, who had just boarded the ship, walked into the steering platform and began to hand over the work with the captain of the ship, inquiring in detail about the current status of the ship, loading operations, route environment, etc. After understanding clearly, he solemnly signed his name on the handover book and the logbook and officially took over the command of the ship.
Subsequently, Zeng Lingyu verified whether the ship and crew certificates met the requirements of laws and regulations. Then, he checked the working conditions of the ship's equipment such as Turin, navigation, and navigation assistance, and instructed the equipment supervisors to do a good job of equipment inspection before sailing. After busy with these, he went to the front of the video surveillance, paid close attention to the progress of the on-site operation of each post, and from time to time picked up the walkie-talkie to remind the staff to do a good job of separating people and vehicles, lashing and fastening, reserving fire (escape) passages, and avoiding the occurrence of vehicle pressure yellow lines.
Time passed minute by minute, under the unified command of Zeng Lingyu, more than 10 types of work of the ship, nearly 30 staff members thought and worked hard to make a place, racing against the clock, in the same direction, and soon completed the vehicle loading operation of the voyage.
At 8 o'clock, with the issuance of the port dispatch notice, Zeng Lingyu quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and arranged:
"First mate, second mate, please untie the cable."
"Bow left 40."
"Right drive 20."
"Two cars into two."
With the issuance of one instruction after another, the 10,000-ton giant ship Guangdong Hai Railway No. 2 set sail again, slowly sailing north by the wind and waves. Zeng Lingyu is about to drive a railway ship between the north and south ports of the Qiongzhou Strait 10 times in this class, sailing about 125 nautical miles, reporting "ship draft" and issuing similar instructions to "untie the tether" more than 100 times.
Li Weimin, general secretary of the party branch of the Ship Management Center, said that the captain is a very key position, not only to have excellent professional qualities, but also to have strong management, command, coordination, emergency response capabilities, its comprehensive and professional requirements are very high. As a member of the Communist Party of China, Zeng Lingyu is pragmatic and diligent, has the courage to take responsibility, and has played a good role as a pioneer and exemplary party member, and in the past 8 years as a captain, he has driven railway ships to leave the berth more than 8,000 times, accumulating a total of about 132,000 nautical miles, equivalent to more than 244,000 kilometers.
