Abstract:Yangpu Maritime Safety Bureau has always taken practical actions to fulfill its maritime supervision responsibilities and build a solid line of defense for water safety.
In the past few days, Shanghai has been filled with fog, the sky looks misty, and the visibility of the "fairy-like" Huangpu River has dropped to a minimum of less than 200 meters, seriously affecting the continuation of ships on the river. In order to ensure the normal navigation order of the Huangpu River waterway, a number of employees of the Yangpu Maritime Safety Bureau are on emergency duty to "do not close", perform their duties, and jointly protect the safety of water traffic on the Huangpu River.
The appearance of the fog coincided with the holiday, due to the weather caused more ships stranded in the Huangpu River, and the pressure of the Huangpu River water supervision increased. Considering that a large number of ships need to enter the Huangpu River to avoid fog, the Yangpu Maritime Safety Bureau coordinated 17 pontoons for small ships to dock. "It is not 100% safe for small ships to stop at a location, and we also need to consider that ships docked with pontoons may rotate with the change of the current of the Huangpu River, and may collide, so we need to constantly remind ships to pay attention to the bridge watch, always pay attention to the stress state of the cable, and avoid breaking the cable. Zhou Huanzhong paid special attention to key waters such as the front of the wharf, the warning area, and the anchorage, and sent safety reminders to the crew.
From the watch desk to the patrol boat, maritime workers rushed to the front line. At present, the visibility in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River has improved slightly, and ships heading to the upstream can sail, and ships heading downstream can continue to wait, and do not sail in the fog!" Chen Shenmin, who was on duty on the patrol boat, continued to issue propaganda to the ships on the pontoons, "The fog outside Wusongkou is still very large, and the visibility is very poor, so everyone must not take the risk of sailing!"
Maritime workers are on the front line
It is understood that while preventing dense fog, the Yangpu Maritime Safety Bureau fully takes into account the demands of the boaters, "the boaters hope to arrive at their destination port as soon as possible, complete the loading and unloading, and increase the economic benefits of their ships. Chen Shenmin told reporters that the adoption of such control measures not only ensures safety, but also prevents the inconvenience caused by the "one-size-fits-all" policy to boat people.
In addition, on January 1, 2024, the Dongnen Line ferry, which has been suspended for more than half a year, will officially resume sailing, and the ferry resumption day is just on New Year's Day. It is also necessary to carry out emergency drills for fire fighting and life-saving, after all, after so long, the ship has not been sailed, and many skills may be rusty. Don't be careless!"
It is reported that in order to ensure the safety of navigation in the waters of the Huangpu River during the New Year's Day holiday, the Yangpu Maritime Safety Bureau has made preparations to deal with emergencies, such as strengthening watch, coordinating a number of external emergency rescue vessels, tugboats, salvage ships, sewage cleaning ships, etc., which can be dispatched at any time if necessary.
