Pingshan County conducted water traffic emergency drill

In order to further improve the emergency response capabilities of water emergencies and ensure the safety of water transportation in the county, on August 6, the County Maritime Department and the relevant departments carried out a waterway traffic emergency drill in the waters of Tianbao Ferry in Shulou Town.
 
The drill was divided into two courses: waterway emergency protection and water fire protection. The simulation scenario of the drill was: When a carrier ferry sailed through the Tianbao Ferry of Shulou Town, a sudden fire broke out on the ship.
 
After discovering the dangerous situation, the owner of the ship immediately sent a distress signal to the county maritime command and rescue center. The county maritime command and rescue center immediately dispatched nearby vessels to approach the fire-fighting vessel, and rescued the downers in the first place. At the same time, the maritime patrol boat was also approaching the fire vessel, and the high-pressure water cannon was used to start the fire fighting operation.
 
After this emergency rescue, the fire was extinguished, but the ship lost control due to power system damage. The command center also deployed another passenger ship to go to the out-of-control vessel. The crew of the two sides acted in concert to drag the uncontrolled vessel away from the accident waters by means of cables.
 
As the vessel was successfully docked, the participants immediately scoured the oil in the exercise waters. It was deployed oil booms and used oil absorbent pads. At this point, the drill ended smoothly. The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Transportation Bureau made a summary review of the drill.
 
Through this simulated actual combat drill, the scientific nature of the emergency plan and procedures was tested, the emergency team on the water emergency was honed, and the emergency response capability of the local maritime system in our county was examined.
