Recently, the Yangtze River Yibin Waterway Bureau took the initiative to carry out coordination
and organization work in accordance with the requirements of the Yangtze River Navigation
Administration to help enterprises “Spring Warm Actions”, and assisted the implementation of
the dredging works of the Yibin Zhicheng Port Basin to help them basically cancel the risks of
port loading and unloading operations.
It is understood that at the end of October 2018, the Yangtze River began to enter the dry
season. Due to the sharp drop in water level and the sedimentation in the harbor, the five
berths of the Yibin Port multi-purpose wharf were seriously silted. Only the No. 4 container
berth could be properly loaded and unloaded. The volume of more than 30,000 cubic meters
has brought great safety hazards to ships entering and leaving the port, resulting in the backlog
of dozens of ships and nearly 10,000 tons of goods, causing huge economic losses and social
impacts.
The harbor basin dredging needs to be carried out in the Yangtze River channel, involving sensitive
factors such as environmental protection and sand mining, the implementation risks and difficulties
are relatively large. It will use a large amount of silt curtains for controlling silt and dredger for
cleaning the silt. The Yangtze River Yibin Waterway Bureau has attached great importance to the
request and actively coordinated the request for the Chongqing Waterway with the professional
qualification of the channel dredging. Relevant units such as the Engineering Bureau were worked
together. In addition, the main person in charge of the bureau has repeatedly visited the on-site
office of the port. Through the adoption of waterway surveying and mapping, adjustment of standards,
implementation of waterway security measures and construction of shipbuilding and other technical
services, the development and optimization of the port clearing plan has been repeated for more
than three months. It has finally been implemented smoothly, and the The problems of Yibin Port
has been effectively solved. It has been highly praised by Yibin Port Group.
