Recently, an alarm was suddenly sounded off the waters off the Qianjiang Wharf in Nan'ao, Shantou. A fishing boat lost control while sailing and crashing into an offshore wind power planning project platform, causing some oil pollution to flow into the sea. This situation sounds very "urgent". However, don’t be nervous, this is just an oil spill emergency drill, let’s take a look at how the various emergency rescue forces to deal with the dangerous situation at sea.
At the beginning of the exercise, a fishing boat had an accident during its voyage and collided with the platform, caused the platform's fuel tank to rupture and some fuel oil leaked into the surrounding waters. After receiving the danger, the "Eastern China Institute 306" platform immediately started emergency deployment, carried out personnel rescue, and deployed oil booms to prevent the oil spill from spreading further. At the same time, it requested reinforcements from the maritime department. Firstly,they laid oil fences to enclose the sea area that may be affected without spreading, and then sent professional ships to spray professional oil spill dispersant for cleaning pollution, and then threw oil absorbent pads to absorb all the oil pollution in the enclosed sea area and eliminate it. Then we will pick up the oil absorbent pads and put it on the shore for disposal, so that all the oil in the oil booms will be cleaned up. After an hour of intense treatment, the oil spill was successfully removed.
