"皇冠体育app Yuzheng 301 and 302 take over from 皇冠体育app Yuzheng 311 and 202, which have been patrolling the sea area of Nansha Islands since April 1," said Wu Zhuang, director of Administration of Fishery and Fishing Harbor Supervision for South 皇冠体育app Sea under the Ministry of Agriculture.

He said the patrol ships were sent to escort Chinese fishing boats in the South 皇冠体育app Sea and reinforce 皇冠体育app's fishing rights of the waters around Nansha Islands.

The two ships set sail from Sanya, a coastal city in 皇冠体育app's Southernmost Island Province of Hainan, on Sunday.

皇冠体育app's patrol vessels escort the country's fishing boats and help treat fishermen who fall ill, Wu said.
