environment, on the morning of October 31, 2018 Shenzhen Eastern Sea comprehensive
emergency drill was held in the waters of Dapeng Bay, Shenzhen.
The drill was a comprehensive emergency drill for the protection of marine energy in
the eastern seas of Shenzhen. It was hosted by Shenzhen Maritime Search and Rescue
Center, jointly organized by Dapeng New District Management Committee and Daya Bay
Maritime Safety Administration. The participating units were included Shenzhen Maritime
Bureau. Emergency Office, Municipal Bureau of Soil and Water (City Bureau), Municipal Public

District Clearing and Pollution Company, etc. The maritime emergency member units participated
in the exercise, this drill was simulated a LNG (liquefied natural gas) ship in the Dapeng Bay
3# anchorage, and a fire broke out during the berthing of the ship and the oil tanker collided
with the construction ship, causing personnel to fall into the water and leak the cargo oil. A
total of 19 ships of various types, 2 ambulances, 3 fire engines, and more than 200 personnel
in the emergency team were drilled in the comprehensive exercise. The main projects were
included the danger report and self-rescue, the first aid and transshipment of the wounded,
the fire treatment at sea, the emergency berthing of the accident ship, and maritime oil spill
disposal by deploying oil booms and oil absorbent pads. For the first time during the drill, the
JHW-12 water remote life-saving device was applied to the actual combat, and the UAV video
signal was transmitted to the command ship in real-time transmission mode. This provided the
emergency command department with the first-hand information on the scene and provided
a strong technical support for quickly making emergency decisions.
This drill adopts the city-city and district linkage mode. It does not make plans, does not set up
scripts, and is mainly based on actual combat. It aims to link the operation of the maritime search
and rescue emergency command system and the emergency member units at the city and
district levels. The effectiveness of equipment for emergency disposal facilities, on-site personnel's
mastery of emergency plan proficiency and knowledge of dangerous goods will effectively promote
the construction of maritime emergency response capacity in Dapeng New District. At the same
time, an important demonstration of the command and control system's rapid command and dispatch
capability and emergency force actual combat capability are also an important measure to improve
the comprehensive emergency response capability of marine emergencies.
