Today, the Local Maritime Office of Fengxian District cooperate with the Public Security Fengxian Branch Waterborne Police Station, Shanghai Dongan Water Pollution Prevention Center Co., Ltd., and Pinghu Hongwei Salvage Co., Ltd.to conduct a joint emergency rescue drill in the waters of Fengxin Maritime Barge near the South Gate of Jinhui Port.
During the drill, a ship with a full load of 300 tons of gravel material was stranded in the cross waters of the Renmin Pond of Jinhui Port. A crew member unfortunately fell into the water and the stern fuel tank was damaged. Some fuel oil spills affected the navigation. The ship's staffs immediately report the accident to the local maritime department upon discovery and waiting for rescue.
After receiving the relevant information, the local maritime office of Fengxian District immediately initiated the emergency plan, and at the same time they coordinated the Public Security Fengxian Branch Waterborne Police Station and Shanghai Dongan Water Pollution Control Center to participate in the assistance of the disposal, and requested the Pinghu Salvage Company to assist the rescue. Subsequently, the rescue teams rushed to the scene by water and land. The water rescue team first rescued the people who fell into the water and immediately sent them to the 120 emergency vehicle waiting by the barge of Fengxin Maritime Station.
Due to the rapid water flow, in order to control the oil spill pollution of the surrounding waters, the pollution prevention ship arrived at the scene with emergency oil spill prevention materials. The staffs quickly set up oil absorbent booms to intercept the leaked fuel and laid oil absorbent pads to deal with the oil pollution.
At the same time, a troublemaker around the water tried to ignite the oil spilled water and tried to cause a larger secondary accident. After discovering the danger, the police at the water police station immediately controlled the troublemakers and put out the open flame. Subsequently, the oil spill on the water was also removed in time, and the staffs began to retract the oil absorbent pads and booms. Eventually, the accident ship was also successfully towed away from the scene.
