15/Jul/2020
On June 17, the Wanzhou Maritime Department and Chongqing Changhang Rescue and Salvage Engineering Co., Ltd. organized anti-pollution training and ship oil spill emergency disposal drill, which further improved ship oil pollution emergency response and disposal capabilities of the maritime law enforcement personnel.

Before the formal drill, the staffs of Wanzhou Marine Department and Chongqing Changhang Rescue and Salvage Engineering Co., Ltd. learned the working principles and usage methods of equipment such as oil absorbent pads, oil booms, oil skimmers and how to carry out emergency disposal with a detailed and in-depth understanding.

At 10:00 am, the oil spill emergency drill officially was begun. A vessel oil spill occurred in the waters of Yu'antuo, Wuling. After receiving the dangerous order, Wanzhou Maritime Department quickly linked with Chongqing Changhang Rescue and Salvage Engineering Co., Ltd. to arrange "Yangtze River Salvation No. 1" ship and "Haixun 12296" ship to rush to the accident site for oil spill disposal. The rescue ship was skilled in completing vehicle preparation, unreeling, and steering, about 5 minutes after the incident. "Yangtze River Salvage No. 1"ship was moored at the downwind of the oil spill area, and the "Haixun 12296"ship towed oil booms to enclose all floating oil spills in a timely and effective manner to prevent the leakage and spread of oil pollution. At the same time, they announce the warning to require passing ships to slow down and pay attention to avoidance, and they also assisted in searching for other possible oil spill points. Afterwards, the staffs manipulated the oil skimmers to slowly "inhale" the oil floating on the water into the cargo compartment. With the efforts of all the participants, the oil spills in the accident waters have been completely cleared, and the ship oil emergency response drill has ended. .On June 17, the Wanzhou Maritime Department and Chongqing Changhang Rescue and Salvage Engineering Co., Ltd. organized anti-pollution training and ship oil spill emergency disposal drill, which further improved ship oil pollution emergency response and disposal capabilities of the maritime law enforcement personnel.
