emergency drill officially was begun. It was seen that a Beibei No. 1 ship was drifting on the
Jialing River due to machine failure. After receiving the report, the joint command immediately a
ctivated the emergency plan and dispatched "Chuanhai Rescue 11" ship and "Chuan Haixun 16"

"accident ship" away from the river,and it was eliminated the danger. The subject of "Ship
Drifting and Towing" has just ended, and the joint headquarters again received a report: A
crew member of Beibei No. 1 ship fell into the water and requested emergency rescue. The
headquarters once again activated the emergency plan and dispatched water rescue flying
wings to rush to the crew's falling water area and rescue the crew from the water on the
rescue boat.

crew member on the Jialing River accidentally overturned the oil drum containing "oil
pollution" into the river, and there was an oil spill on the river that could not be

11" ship and "Chuan Haixun 16" ship to rush to the waters where the incident
occurred, quickly deployed oil booms to the oil spill waters, and used
oil absorbent pads to remove oil spills on the river.
