On the morning of June 9, the Yangpu Maritime Bureau organized enterprises in
the jurisdiction to carry out ship oil spill and firefighting emergency drill at the
Baimajing anchorage to provide maritime safety guarantee for the construction
of Hainan Free Trade Port. A total of 6 ships and more than 30 people
participated in the exercise.
It is understood that the drill was simulated during the process of unloading
the oil from the "Jinjia 33" tanker to the "Hongming 13" tanker, the oil
delivery hose near the interface of the unloading valve burst to cause an oil
leakage accident. In the process of removing oil pollution, the residual
oil rags spontaneously ignited due to high temperature, and a fire broke
out because the ship could not be controlled and finally abandoned.
During the drill, the crew demonstrated the procedures for handling
oil spill accidents (laying oil booms and oil absorbent pads), and at
the same time, they conducted drills for ship fire fighting, rescue
of persons in distress, and abandoned ship escape.
