On October 30th, the 2018 Qinzhou City maritime rescue and oil Spill response comprehensive combat drill was kicked off in the waters of Dalanping, Qinzhou Port, which was hosted by Qinzhou Maritime Search and Rescue Center and City Oil Spill Emergency Command.
 
The drill was carried out at 3 p.m. A construction vessel collided with a cargo ship in the east channel of Qinzhou Port due to uncoordinated action during the crossing of the East Channel. The accident caused the construction vessel to be damaged and a large amount of seawater entered. One of them fell into the water. Although the construction vessel adopted emergency drainage measures, the water intake of the ship was large. After the ship sailed off the navigation channel, the captain decided to abandon the ship. After the collision of the cargo ship, the fuel leak in the engine room caused a fire. Although the ship started self-rescue, but the fire could not be controlled, the fuel leakage was basically controlled, but about 12 tons of fuel oil had leaked into the sea, and rescue was urgently needed. The captains of the two vessels reported the situation to the Qinzhou Maritime Search and Rescue Center respectively, and requested personal assistance, fire rescue and oil spill assistance respectively.

On the construction side of the ship, the crew safely boarded the ship that came to the rescue. The drowning personnel also got out of danger with the help of the rescue team. Finally, the working vessel comes out to clean up the fuel that has leaked into the sea by deploying oil booms and using oil absorbent pads.
