Recently, Nanjiang Maritime Bureau cooperated with the Tianjin Port Petrochemical Terminal Company
to successfully held joint maritime emergency drill at the Tianjin Port Petrochemical Terminal.
This drill was simulated when an oil tanker was carrying out unloading operations, oil spill was occurred,
they a series of emergency actions were carried out. The drill was included ship fire protection, oil spill
control by deploying oil booms, pollutant removal by using oil absorbent pads and other subjects, and
dispatched 10 ships and more than 90 participants. Representatives from the member departments
of the Nanjiang Government Department, the Tianjin Maritime Bureau, and the Nanjiang Port Area
Maritime Emergency Response Mechanism observed and guided the drill.
Nanjiang Port Area is the port area with the largest cargo throughput and the largest number of
ships entering and leaving Tianjin Port. It bears all the crude oil throughput functions of Tianjin
Port and has the only 300,000-ton crude oil terminal in Tianjin Port. The task of preventing
and controlling oil spills on the sea is very arduous. The drill was focused on close combat, verified
the effectiveness of the maritime emergency plan in the Nanjiang port area, and significantly
promoted the coordination and cooperation level of the members of the maritime emergency
linkage mechanism in the Nanjiang port area in the maritime emergency combat.
