Riverside police

The river wind blows, causing ripples on the river surface. Occasionally, a small fish jumps out of the river, splashes in the water, and then falls back to peace. Both sides of the river bank are covered with reeds, and reed flowers are flying in the wind.

Looking around, I couldn't see a few boats, tall buildings, or even people.

To use the advertising slogan on TV, the northern branch of the Yangtze River has a strong "original ecology", which is in sharp contrast to the main stream of the Yangtze River, which is lined with docks and ships.

Du Juan came here for the first time. She followed the deputy captain on board the stranded cargo ship. After checking and asking about the situation, she returned to the coast patrol boat and couldn't help but ask: "Shen Da, what should we do now?"

Vice Captain Shen looked back at the owner who was squatting worriedly on the bow of the cargo ship and whispered: "Keep an eye on them first."

"Staring at them?" Du Juan asked puzzledly.

"What if you don't keep an eye on them and they run away."

"They don't want the boat?"

"You have just seen that they not only went to sea illegally, but also the procedures for the ship and people were not complete. They went to sea illegally and sailed beyond the navigation zone. The ship did not have a certificate or insurance and was subject to heavy fines. How much is this old ship worth? No one knows whether they will abandon ship to escape punishment."

Deputy Captain Shen had encountered this kind of thing more than once. He got into the cabin and asked the coast patrol boat pilot to pay attention to the water depth. Then he picked up the high-frequency radio intercom and called the Linghai Maritime Department.

"Linghai Traffic Control received it, please tell me if you want to apply for university!"

"Is your Yang Chu here?

"I'm here, Shen Da, have you come to the North Branch?"

"We received an alarm that a cargo ship was illegally going to sea. The owner entered the North Branch to avoid inspection. However, he was not familiar with the conditions of the North Branch Channel and ran aground in waters about eight kilometers east of Niupeng Port. I am at the scene and have just boarded the ship. After checking, the boat washed up on a sandbank and couldn’t move away due to the high tide.”

The hydrological conditions of inland rivers are relatively stable. For example, the majestic tide of the Qiantang River generally maintains a wave height between three and five meters. It is not at the same level as the waves that can often reach a height of ten meters or even dozens of meters in bad weather.

Therefore, the design requirements for stability of sea-going ships are much higher than those of inland river ships. In order to reduce the waves on the deck, the freeboard of seagoing ships is also relatively high. River boats do not have these concerns, and their freeboards are mostly very low. Sea-going transport ships generally have sheltered decks, while most inland waterway transport ships do not have sheltered decks and their cargo holds are open to the air.

The trunk is low and there is no hatch cover. You can imagine the waves constantly filling the cargo hold with water.

In short, river boats going out to sea are like go-karts going on the road or tractors going on the highway, which poses great safety risks. The Maritime Traffic Safety Law and the Statutory Inspection Technical Rules for Inland River Vessels in the Statutory Inspection Rules of the People's Republic of China on Vessels and Offshore Installations formulated in accordance with the Regulations on Inspection of Vessels and Offshore Installations clearly stipulate that ships should operate in the navigation area and conditions specified by the certificate. Inland river vessels Shipping by sea is illegal!

However, some inland river ship owners always take desperate risks driven by profit. The Linghai Maritime Department has investigated and dealt with four illegal activities involving sea-related transportation by inland river ships this year.

Yang Chu didn't expect that Taoming Maritime, which usually didn't pay much attention to the North Branch Channel, came over to inspect and successfully seized an illegal river ship for sea-related transportation. He subconsciously asked: "Do you need our assistance?"

"The ship ran aground on the sandbar. The owner did not get off the ship and there was no way to investigate and deal with it unless he towed the ship out." Vice Captain Shen glanced at the text message he had just received on his mobile phone and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Yang Chu, our Guo Chu asked I’m contacting you and asking you to help us find a tugboat for rescue.”

"The North Branch can no longer be considered a waterway. It has not been dredged for several years. There are no big wharves along the line, only a few small wharves and the Lingzhao Ferry. Several tugboats in Linghai Port cannot pass, and even if they go, they will easily get stranded."

"Where is Binjiang Police 001? Isn't Binjiang Police 001 located in Bailong Port?"

"The Yangtze River Bridge is going to be built over at Yingchuang Port. Little 001 went to Yingchuang Port early."

"So the North Branch can't find the tugboat?"

"Can't find it!"

Inland river cargo ships loaded with sand and gravel are stranded. Not to mention that there are very few ships sailing on the North Branch. Even if they can be found, they cannot tow the stranded illegal cargo ships. They can only find inland river tugboats.

Inland river tugboats can be found on both sides of the main Yangtze River south of Minming Island, but they have to go around in a large circle to get there. Moreover, the driver of the inland river tugboat is not familiar with the water depth and current conditions of the North Branch Channel. If he is not careful, he will not be able to rescue the stranded person. Once an illegal cargo ship runs aground, it may even need another tugboat to rescue it.

Deputy Captain Shen had a big head and asked with a wry smile: "Chang Yang, can you help me ask Changhang Binjiang Branch to ask Binjiang Public Security Bureau 001 to come over and help me?"

"There's no need to ask, there's no point in asking."

"Why didn't it work?"

"The construction of the Yangtze River Bridge is so important. Little 001 has to escort the construction of the bridge in the waters of Yingchuang Port. The superiors will definitely not let Little 001 pass." Yang Chu lit a cigarette, thinking that the cargo ship was in the waters under your jurisdiction. Stranded, what does it have to do with us?

Vice Captain Shen didn't want to waste time on the river until dark, so he weighed it up and said, "Then don't ask your superiors, just go to Bureau Han directly."

"Xianyu went to Donghai Jiaotong University to study."

"Okay, I'll call and report to our Guo Department."

I don't usually come to the North Branch Channel. When something happens, I think of "Admiral Binjiang Navy." Why do you do this? Thinking that this was an opportunity, Yang Chu immediately put down the radio talker and picked up the landline phone, rushing to contact Han Yu before his colleagues in the East China Sea.

Han Yu had just finished class. When he saw the caller ID, he didn't bother to go to the cafeteria to eat. He quickly took out 200 cards and went to a public phone booth to call back.

After contacting Director Yang of the Linghai Maritime Affairs Department to find out the whole story, Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Is the river boat that went out to sea illegally stranded?"

"Well, they said only tugboats can pull that stranded cargo ship out."

"The North Branch cannot even have a law enforcement rescue ship. Little 001 should not go to Yingchuan Port."

"That's what I said at the beginning, but I said it lightly."

Today, the Taoming Maritime Department encountered an accident and could not find the inland river tugboat. What if a ship ran aground or caught fire in the waters under the jurisdiction of the Linghai Maritime Department tomorrow?

Yang Chu took a deep breath and continued: "I have always wanted to report this matter to the Han Bureau, but she is now a member of the Yangtze River Bridge Project Command. If I mention it to her, she will be very embarrassed, and she will not even know how to talk to her superiors. Moreover. It’s not just about little 001, it’s about people as well.”

This matter involves two units, Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau and Changhang Binjiang Public Security Bureau.

Han Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I'll call Bureau Xu and Bureau Qi and wait for my news."

"OK."

Han Yu was about to enter the 200 card account number again when his phone rang again. The caller ID was Guo from the Mingming Marine Department. Without asking, he knew that he was asking Little 001 for rescue.

Long distance and roaming are very expensive.

Han Yu didn't dare to answer stupidly, so he hung up, quickly replied with a text message, and continued to enter the 200 card account number to contact Xu Bureau of Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau.

Director Xu did not expect that Han Yu would still seek political power when he was not in his position. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Xianyu, although the property rights of Xiao 001 belong to our Maritime Safety Administration, the right to use it belongs to Xiaoyu."

"I told Bureau Qi to ask Bureau Qi to let little 001 return to Bailong Port."

"That's fine. As long as the whole team doesn't have any objections, I definitely won't have any objections."

"Thank you Xu Ju."

"No need to thank you. You are still doing it for work. Please contact Qi Bureau as soon as possible. Don't let Donghai colleagues wait."

"good."

After communicating with Bureau Xu, Han Yu dialed Bureau Qi’s mobile phone number.

Bureau Qi understood the situation and said with a wry smile: "Xianyu, letting Little 001 go to Yingchuang Port is a requirement of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. I have no say in this matter. You have to go to the city leaders."

"As long as the city leaders nod, Xiaoyu, Xiao Chen and Lao Zhu can drive Xiao 001 back to Bailong Port?"

"Of course, if the city leaders don't nod, I will let Little 001 go back without authorization. Then not only the city leaders will criticize me, but maybe even the Hanwu side will criticize me."

The construction of the Yangtze River Bridge is a key national project, otherwise the on-site commander would not be concurrently served by the deputy director of the Department of Transportation.

Han Yu could understand the difficulties of the leaders of his old unit. He first called his senior sister and asked her to arrange for Xiaoyu to drive Xiaoyu 001 to rescue the stranded cargo ship. Then he contacted Deputy Mayor Qin and reported to Deputy Mayor Qin about the North Branch Channel. Case.

"Xianyu, the superiors attach great importance to the Yingchuang Port Water Law Enforcement Base. It's okay to let Xiaoyu go back to assist the Mingming Marine Department in rescuing the stranded ship. It's unrealistic to let Xiaoyu drive 001 back to Bailong Port!"

"Mayor Qin, is this unrealistic? The construction of the Yangtze River Bridge is important, but there are dozens of engineering ships in Yingchuan Port. Little 001 cannot play a big role in Yingchuan Port. Besides, if there is a need for tugboat rescue If the situation arises, the engineering headquarters and water law enforcement base can also recruit tugs from Binjiang Port or even Shuzhou Port on the other side."

Afraid that Vice Mayor Qin would disagree, Han Yu thought about it and emphasized: "The superiors don't pay attention to the North Branch Channel, and the channel department doesn't even care about it, but we have to pay attention to it, and we can't let it go. Moreover, this is not only directly related to the East China Sea Channel The economic development of Qihe and several towns along the Linghai River is also directly related to the safety of the Lingzhuo Ferry."

The fact that the Yangtze River Waterway Administration no longer maintains the North Branch Channel does not mean that there will be no ships sailing on the North Branch Channel.

Several towns along the Dongqi and Linghai rivers want to develop their economies and need a large amount of materials. Water transportation is undoubtedly the most economical in transporting materials such as sand, gravel, steel and coal.

Moreover, there are so many vehicles crossing the river at Lingzhuo Auto Ferry every day.

Passenger ferry safety is more important than anything else. What if the ferry encounters danger on the river and cannot find a rescue boat?

Vice Mayor Qin felt that Han Yu's words made sense, and then he thought that Little 001 was originally built by Xu Sanye and Han Yu for repairs and modifications for the North Branch Channel, so he weighed it and asked: "Is Xiaoyu willing to go back?"

"Going back to Bailong Port is equivalent to going home, how could he not want to!"

"Okay, I'll tell Secretary Chen and Mayor Wang for you. As for the engineering headquarters, I'll explain it to you later."

"Thank you, Mayor Qin."

"What's there to be thankful for? You're not doing it for yourself."

…

When applying for a job at the Maritime Safety Administration, Du Juan always thought that water law enforcement was not difficult. Now that she is a law enforcement officer at the Taiming Marine Department, she realizes that water law enforcement is not as easy as she imagined.

After finally catching a river boat that was illegally going to sea, the owner was guarded on the river from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm because he was worried that the boat owner would abandon the boat and run away.

When I'm hungry, I can only eat instant noodles.

I was too embarrassed to talk to the leader when I wanted to go to the toilet. I couldn't hold it in any longer and then I told the leader that the law enforcement boat had docked and there was no toilet on the shore, so I had to find a place where no one was around to solve the problem...
