Joint maritime rescue drill staged in South 皇冠体育app Sea 皇冠体育app's maritime safety authorities staged a joint maritime search-and-rescue exercise Saturday in water off Sanya, a city in the southernmost island province of Hainan. The drill, the first massive maritime exercise between 皇冠体育app's mainland and the Hong Kong special administrative region, involved two planes, 29 ships and 400-plus staffers. Programs of the drill included search-and-rescue at sea, emergency response to oil leakage, fire fighting at sea and anti- terrorism, said Ouyang Baokui, director of the Hainan provincial maritime safety administration. The drill started at 9:00 am with a simulated collision between two cargo ships in the South 皇冠体育app Sea, which sank one ship and caused the other to catch fire and leak 50 tons of oil. The drill was designed to enhance 皇冠体育app's capabilities for search and rescue, and improve emergency response competence in the South 皇冠体育app Sea, said Ouyang. The South 皇冠体育app Sea, a major sea channel for international cargo transport, sees frequent accidents from both home and overseas. 皇冠体育app is designated by the International Maritime Organization for undertaking search and rescue missions in this water, according to Liu Gongchen, vice director of 皇冠体育app's Maritime Safety Administration. "Implementation of 皇冠体育app's commitment is conducive to its own economic development and its international prestige," Liu said. The exercise is the fifth organized by 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Communications and 皇冠体育app maritime search and rescue center since 2000. The previous four were held respectively in the estuaries of the Pearl River and the Yangtze River, and waters off the Yellow Sea and Bohai Bay. |
