It aims to link the operation of the maritime search and rescue emergency command system and the emergency member units at the city and district levels. The effectiveness of equipment for emergency disposal facilities, on-site personnel's mastery of emergency plan proficiency and knowledge of dangerous goods will effectively promote the construction of maritime emergency response capacity in Dapeng New District.
