In order to strengthen the daily operation management of the Nanjing Ship Oil Spill Emergency
Equipment Depot, and ensure the emergency response and disposal capabilities of oil spills on
the water, the Danger and Prevention Department of the Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration
recently organized the oil spill emergency equipment depot to carry out an oil spill recovery ship
launching drill. At the same time, they will conduct a semi-annual inspection of the maintenance
and management of the equipment warehouse.
The equipment warehouse personnel first hauled the oil spill recovery ship from the equipment
warehouse to the outdoors with a small flatbed truck, and then drove the truck crane to lift the
oil spill recovery ship from the flatbed truck to the drill pool. At the same time, the ship driving
and oil spill recovery(by using oil absorbent pads and oil skimmers) subjects were carried out in
the drill pool. It was completed the whole process rehearsal of ship oil spill recovery heavy
equipment from transfer out of the warehouse to actual operations, and verified the emergency
operation abilities of the equipment warehouse personnel and the effective operations and use
of the oil spill emergency equipment. Subsequently, the inspectors checked the oil spill recovery
equipment and personnel protective equipment in the equipment warehouse, and checked in
detail the equipment warehouse material entry and exit accounts, daily maintenance records,
etc., and also learned about the use loss,obsolescence and existing problems of some equipment,
then put forward relevant opinions.
The Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration will urge the oil spill emergency equipment warehouse
management unit to further improve the equipment warehouse operation management and
emergency drill mechanism, and continuously improve the efficiency of water emergency
response and emergency rescue capabilities.
