On February 8, the People's Government of Shandong Province issued the "Shandong
Province fights the battle plan for comprehensive environmental management in the
Bohai Sea area" and proposed to strengthen the prevention and control of oil spill risk
in coastal waters. The plan requires the establishment of a special inspection system
for key risk sources such as crude oil terminals and ships along the Bohai Sea before
the end of 2019. It will also identify the responsible bodies of oil spill pollution control
in coastal waters and coastal areas, improve the fingerprint identification capability of
oil spills, improve emergency response and command mechanisms, and deploy emergency
materials warehouses. It will also need to complete the risk assessment of offshore
oil spills in the offshore waters of Bohai Sea to prevent oil spills and other pollution
accidents. Before the end of 2020, we will establish a joint emergency response
mechanism for marine pollution caused by oil spills in the Bohai Sea, build emergency
materials statistics (such as oil absorbent pads, oil absorbent booms, oil booms,
chemical absorbent pads,etc.), monitor and call comprehensive information platforms.
