Tongling Maritime Department organized chemical spills and ship spill drills

 
In order to thoroughly implement the concept of "ecological priority, green development" of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, promote the construction of beautiful Yangtze River and improve the level of emergency response. Recently, Tongling Maritime Department organized a chemical tanker cargo leakage drill and a ship oil spill drill at Jinde Wharf. The Tongling Maritime Department, Jinde Wharf, Tongling Miaopin Company and the relevant vessels in the jurisdiction participated in the exercise, and they also invited the dangerous goods transportation companies such as Jinjianghai Company, Heyou Company and Tongguan Logistics Company to observe the situation.
 
The drill was simulated when the heavy-duty operation ship “Jinghanghua***” was carried out loading operations by the docking of the Jinde terminal. The sulfuric acid conveying pipeline is detached from the cargo hatch due to wind and waves, and the sulfuric acid overflew to the cargo deck, and the wheel rudder machine has failed and cannot be moved. After received the report, the law enforcement officers of Tongling Maritime Department carried rescue equipment and arrived at the scene by boat. Jinde Wharf carried out emergency handling of cargo leakage in accordance with the requirements of the terminal emergency plan, and dispatched pollutant receiving units to handle sulfuric acid leakage. After the finish of disposal, the Tongling Maritime Department dispatched the search and rescue units to drag the "Building Aviation ***" tanker to the safe waters by using tugboat "Jiangsu Dragging".
 
Then, the ship’s oil spill drill was carried out to simulate when the heavy-loading work ship’s “Jinghanghua***” tanker was docked at the Jinde Wharf for loading operations, and it was collided by another berthing docking work ship, resulting in the tail hull of the ship was damaged and some oil sewage was leakd. After received the report, the Tongling Maritime Department organized on-site disposal, dispatched law enforcement officers to the accident site to rescue the oil spill to help prevent the spread of oil spills; the on-site operators of Jinde Wharf have carried out the preliminary emergency response work according to the requirements of the terminal emergency plan. They deployed oil booms and threw the oil absorbent pads in the oil spill area. At the same time, the “Tongchangjing ***” ship and “Changjie ***” ship were dispatched to the scene to reinforce. In the end, all the leaking oil and water were effectively controlled and did not cause proliferation. The “Tongchangjing***” was salvaged and recovered the throwing pads, and the drill was finished.
