Recently, the Tongxiang Port and Shipping Management Service Center cooperated with
Dongjiang Energy Terminal to organize the "Oil Spill Emergency Drill".
Preliminary preparation is sufficient. In this emergency drill, each unit fully prepared a
total of 18 types of emergency supplies, including oil booms,oil absorbent pads, fire
extinguishers, and oil spill dispersants,etc. At the same time, rescue teams, logistics
support team, investigation and monitoring team, communication team, and evacuation
team these 5teams were set up. The rescue team is responsible for on-site security
evacuation and rescue assistance. The investigation and monitoring team is responsible
for finding the source and real-time monitoring of the spreading area. The communication
team is responsible for directing on-site water traffic and emergency vehicle deployment,
counting the number of people, etc. Through the allocation of materials and the division
of personnel responsibilities, the material and safety guarantees for emergency rescue
at ports, shipping and terminals will be further enhanced.
The response was rapid and the emergency was appropriate. After the port and shipping
rescue team arrived at the scene, the investigation and monitoring team immediately
reported the source of the oil spill and the real-time monitoring of the spreading area.
While arranging personnel to cooperate with the communication recovery team to
maintain the navigation order on the spot, the remaining personnel immediately
joined the rescue team to carry out rescue and rescue operations. The rescuers
used cargo ships and sea cruisers to spread the oil booms. In less than ten
minutes, the leaking area was basically blocked. The rescuers used oil absorbent pads
and oil absorbent paper to recover a large part of the oil pollution.Then the remaining
small part of the oil pollution that could not be recovered, rescue workers chemically
eliminated the spill by putting in oil spill dispersant. Through the joint operations of
the port and shipping emergency rescue team and the terminal emergency rescue
headquarters, the source of the leakage was smoothly and completely controlled,
the hidden dangers were quickly eliminated, the oil pollution in the proliferation
area was effectively controlled, and the cleanup was basically completed without
new impacts on the surrounding waters.
