In order to build the "Jiangsu Mode" of shipboard dangerous goods safety supervision, comprehensively promote the construction of Jiangyin hazardous chemicals supervision demonstration zone, and enhance the emergency response capacities of dangerous goods terminals in the jurisdiction, Jiangyin Maritime Safety Administration recently organized a shipborne hazardous chemicals pollution prevention emergency drill in a chemical terminal, and invited leaders and experts from Jiangyin City Transportation Bureau, Dangerous Chemicals Supervision Demonstration Zone Wharf and other units to participate in the observation.
The reporter learned that this drill was simulated when a chemical product was carrying loading operations at a chemical terminal in Jiangyin. Due to the damage of the ship's hose flange gasket, a large number of chemical products were leaked, and the chemical products flowed into the Yangtze River through the ship's drain hole. The terminal first quickly launched the "Emergency Plan for Environmental Incidents", actively organized emergency response and reported the situation to relevant departments.
After receiving the report, the Jiangyin Maritime Safety Administration immediately activated relevant emergency plans, dispatched marine cruisers to the scene of the incident, organized docks and other units to control pollution sources by using chemical absorbent pads and chemical absorbent booms, and contacted cleanup companies to carry out cleanup activities.
The drill was focused on the control of pollution sources and the removal of pollutants from the river. Through this anti-pollution emergency drill, the terminal personnel's awareness of anti-pollution accidents at the terminal and the sudden leakage emergency response abilities were improved.It further tested the proficiency of the emergency response units on the operation of pollution prevention equipment and the effectiveness and operability of the terminal pollution prevention emergency plan.
