CCTV News:At present, what is the overall situation of Shanghai sea area? The CCTV reporter from the main station connected with the staff of Wusong Maritime Safety Administration, who is in charge of the ship traffic protection in Shanghai waters. He said that the recent ship flow and the number of anchored ships in Shanghai waters have remained basically stable, with an average daily ship flow of more than 3,300.
Song Bingbing, Deputy Director of Ship Traffic Management Center of Wusong Maritime Safety Administration:My location is the command hall of Wusong Maritime Safety Administration, which is the Yangtze River and its adjacent waters. The square area here is the anchorage of the Yangtze River estuary, which is equivalent to the parking lot on the road for ships to wait for the tide, replenish and shelter from the wind. Here is Waigaoqiao Port Area, here is Baoshan Port Area, and here is Huangpu River, which also has some docks. Yangshan Port Area is here, on the north bank of Hangzhou Bay. As you can see, each cursor represents a ship. We use red for dangerous goods ships, yellow for seagoing ships and green for fishing boats, thus realizing the classified supervision of ships. This cursor with an arrow indicates that the ship is sailing, and this cursor without an arrow indicates that the ship is at anchor. Anchorage is like our parking lot. It is not only waiting, but also has many functions, such as supply, shelter from the wind and so on. It is equivalent to our service area. Like this green (cursor), it is actually a net under a ship, and it also shows a lot. If people who are not very clear think it is a ship, it is actually a fishing net, and it will also be displayed. Generally speaking, the recent ship flow and the number of anchored ships have remained basically stable, with an average daily ship flow of more than 3,300 ships.
Reporter:Is our job equivalent to maritime traffic police, to ensure the orderly passage of the whole ship, whether parked there or in operation?
Song Bingbing:Yes, our main job is to maintain the safety and smoothness of the water supply chain and ensure the safety of water navigation. For example, for imported ships, we have formation regulations. What is the safe distance of the ship and how often it goes in and out are all related regulations, mainly to ensure the navigation safety of the ship.
According to experts, the Yangtze River estuary is one of the busiest navigation areas in the world. At present, the maritime department adopts 24-hour duty and full closed-loop management to ensure the safety and smoothness of the water supply chain.
