Riverside police

At 3:27, Tang Ju hurried back to the bureau. He didn't take the elevator upstairs and went straight to the reception room on the left side of the first floor.

Han Yu was studying the documents provided by the shipping agent in the reception room with Team Leader Xu of the Security Inspection Team and Section Chief Yang of the Ship Inspection Department. Sister Zhu was standing by the window making a call to the Port Authority.

Tang Ju put down his bag, sat down and asked, "Xianyu is here too, what's going on?"

Sister Zhu put down her cell phone and reported: "Tang Bureau, Xianyu suspects that several Filipino crew members on the CMA CGM, a Bahamian-flagged cargo ship that entered the port yesterday, may have boarded the ship with fake certificates."

Han Xiangning had just teamed up with the Long Voyage Branch to destroy a gang that produced, sold and used fake crew certificates. Xianyu actually suspected that the foreign crew members on the foreign ships had used fake certificates.

It’s not that the whole family doesn’t come into the house, it seems that this young couple got involved with fake certificates.

Tang Ju couldn't help laughing and asked: "Xianyu, do you have any evidence?"

Han Yu raised his head and said: "As crew members, they don't even know how many lifeboats there are on the ship and how many people can fit in one lifeboat. Now I not only suspect that there is something wrong with the certificates of the ordinary crew members, but also the captain, first mate and other senior officers Are the crew members qualified?"

When new crew members board a ship or old crew members board an unfamiliar ship, the first thing they need to do is to familiarize themselves with the conditions of the ship.

The captain should arrange senior crew members such as the chief mate and chief engineer to organize all crew members to familiarize themselves with their respective jobs and conduct inspections in their respective areas of responsibility in order to meet the inspections of port officials. At the same time, use your free time to organize firefighting, escape and other drills.

The crew did not know how many lifeboats there were on the ship, which shows how lax and even chaotic the management on the ship was, and how incompetent the captain was.

Tang Ju generally understood and asked sideways: "Old Xu, which country is the ship owner from?"

"It's from Hong Kong. This is the document provided by the shipping agency."

"How many times has this boat come to Binjiang?"

"first."

"Have you ever boarded the ship to inspect it?"

"I checked it, I did a brief inspection, everything is there."

Chinese cargo ships going to foreign ports must undergo strict inspections.

When foreign cargo ships come to Binjiang Port, the inspection by the Port Supervision Bureau is more "humanized". It mainly checks whether the relevant certificates and procedures are complete, and whether the cargo ship has any major defects that endanger navigation safety. It is far less strict than other inspections of our cargo ships.

When people encounter difficulties, they will even provide help to the best of their ability.

Except for foreign ships that entered the Yangtze River without permission, foreign ships have never been detained due to ship defects in accordance with international conventions and domestic laws and regulations in recent years, and the penalties have been very few.

The reason why I am so kind to others is not because I worship foreigners, but mainly based on several considerations.

First of all, our own freighters are relatively old, and we are working hard to integrate with international standards in management. There is still a buffer period for China to join the WTO, so we cannot be too serious in this regard, otherwise it will be selective enforcement.

Second, we must now focus on economic construction. If the inspections are too strict and the penalties are too severe, foreign ships will not be willing to come to Binjiang Port. It scares everyone away. How to develop the port economy and how to earn foreign exchange through exports.

Last year, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only over 50 billion US dollars, and there are so many places that need to use foreign exchange. Due to import and export considerations, law enforcement must be strict.

Furthermore, to carry out PSC inspections, one must not only be proficient in domestic laws and regulations, but also be proficient in various international conventions on maritime affairs that China has joined in recent years.

This mastery is not as simple as looking at it, but really mastering it.

For example, if you are stranded on a foreign ship and the ship is not satisfied with the reason for the detention, they will report it to the registered classification society. The foreign classification society will contact the China Classification Society, and the shipowner will even ask a surveyor to fly over as soon as possible. Verify the reason for stranding the freighter.

You must be well-reasoned and convincing.

Due to academic qualifications and other reasons, not many of our security inspectors are truly proficient in international conventions.

In short, this is foreign-related law enforcement, so be cautious and cautious.

This was the first time that Tang Bureau encountered a situation where foreign crew members might hold fake certificates. He touched his chin and asked, "Xianyu, how many crew members have you seen?"

"I've seen them before, otherwise I wouldn't have suspected that they were fake crew members."

"Can you verify it?"

"If you want to verify the authenticity of their certificates, the most authoritative way is to contact the issuing agency through our Chinese classification society."

Contact the foreign issuing agency for verification. Think about it and you will know that it is not that easy.

Tang Ju touched the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Old Yang, when will that boat leave?"

Section Chief Yang raised his arm and looked at his watch: "We are loading at the moment. Judging from the plans reported by the shipping agency and the port authority, they plan to leave the port at 11 o'clock tonight."

"Not to mention that it will be difficult to contact foreign certification agencies for a while, and even if we can contact them, it will be too late for feedback." Tang Ju took out his cigarette and looked up at Sister Zhu.

Zhu Chunmiao knew very well that the director wanted to ask her opinion, and couldn't help but see Han Yu.

Han Yu knew that this was a challenge for the Port Supervision Bureau and said bluntly: "If the crew members on the cargo ship come to work on the ship with fake certificates and have not received formal training, it will be difficult for them to meet the ship's navigation safety requirements in terms of actual operation ability. Once an accident occurs, , will pose a threat to maritime traffic safety and marine environmental protection in our Yangtze River waters and even along the coast."

Team leader Xu of the security inspection team has been on ships like a salted fish and has been the captain of an ocean-going cargo ship for six years.

When I was a captain, I was always wary when entering foreign ports. I was punished and even detained by foreign PSC inspectors more than once. I have long felt that what comes comes must come, and foreign cargo ships must be treated strictly.

Seeing Han Yu bring it up, Team Leader Xu said with deep approval: "Tang Bureau, flags of convenience should be the focus of security inspections, no matter which country's ports. And we are in charge of the busiest waterway in the Yangtze River. , there are so many ships on the river, and the waterway situation is so complicated, if those crew members are all 'two swords', what will happen if something goes wrong, and who will bear the responsibility?"

"It is difficult to verify that the crew members are holding fake certificates, and the ship will leave port tonight."

"Check it again, check it carefully. The management of the ship is chaotic, otherwise it would not be rusty. As long as defects are found, we can stay in accordance with the law. As long as we can stay for two or three days, the certificate they hold is true or false, Definitely getting feedback.”

For law enforcement officers, detention only requires the issuance of a legally binding procedure in accordance with regulations.

For shipowners, every day of detention will cause a day of economic loss.

The ship owner is from Hong Kong. Hong Kong will return to the motherland in more than a year. This matter must be done with caution. Tang Ju took a deep breath and looked at Sister Zhu again.

"Tangju, the ship owner is from Hong Kong, but the ship's registration is from the Bahamas."

Sister Zhu pondered for a moment and then continued: "And if they use fake certificates, it will not only endanger water traffic safety and environmental protection, but also violate international conventions and our Chinese laws and regulations."

If everyone does not abide by Chinese laws, then where is the majesty of the law!

Tang Ju weighed it up, put out his cigarette butts and stood up: "We'll talk about it later. Old Xu and Lao Yang, you can board the ship and check it out. Xianyu, you go with Old Xu and Lao Yang to see if there are any defects first. .”

During the more than two months of participating in the transshipment mission, Han Yu was always worried about the PSC inspections of the countries he was passing through. On the semi-submersible ship, he had to study the corresponding international conventions and port entry rules of the countries he was passing through almost every day, and he had to conduct PSC inspections almost every day. Self-examination form, self-examination and self-correction item by item.

"A long-term illness makes a good doctor", always worried about being checked, but in turn, he is absolutely comfortable checking others. But considering the domestic laws and regulations, Han Yu raised his head and said: "Tang Ju, according to the regulations, I cannot board a foreign ship."

Han Xiangning helped the Changhang Branch Bureau to destroy a gang that manufactured and sold fake crew certificates, allowing the Changhang Branch Bureau to seize millions.

Now Xianyu is helping to inspect foreign ships. If all the suspicions can be confirmed, the Port Supervision Bureau will also have the right to punish foreign crew members with fake certificates, incompetent foreign captains and even ship owners.

Who would think that there is too much money, and as long as it can be verified, the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau will "bloom both internally and externally."

The domestic fake certificates were just seized, and then the foreign fake certificates were seized. They were all ahead of the brothers, the Port Supervision Bureau and the Maritime Supervision Bureau. The superiors would only praise but not criticize.

Bureau Tang weighed it up and said with a smile: "We can ask you to assist and participate in the inspection as a security consultant. Bureau Zhu, please quickly ask the office to prepare the procedures. The procedures that should be followed must be followed, and the border inspection cannot be embarrassed."

"Okay, I'll be responsible for communicating with the border inspection."

"By the way, get some work clothes for Xianyu. It's not appropriate to wear a police uniform to board the ship for inspection. The consultant should look like a consultant."

"no problem."

…

Foreign ships docking at the port or anchoring outside the port must be monitored by the entry-exit border inspection station. Unrelated vessels are not allowed to dock without permission, and irrelevant personnel are not allowed to board the ship without permission.

While Han Yu was waiting for the Port Supervision Bureau to communicate and coordinate with the border inspection, Jiang Meimei was sitting in the command and control room on the second floor of the barge like a child who had made a mistake, waiting with Han Xiangning for the 001 that sent city leaders and merchants to the river for inspection. and the return of the surveillance boat.

At first I thought I just needed to borrow 001, but I didn't expect that the merchants took it very seriously. Sixteen people came, including several shipping experts, and a whole inspection group came.

The command cabin of 001 is very small, and the deck is not large, so the surveillance boat of the Third Harbor Patrol Brigade was also requisitioned.

"Captain Fan, Captain Fan, I'm Xiang Ning, where have you been?"

"I just arrived in Sanhe and I'm circling on the river."

"Going in circles?"

"To build a port, you must first have a channel. If you invest so much, you must know the channel situation. You not only study the channel map, but also use a pennie to measure the water depth."

"How long will it take to get back?"

"Looking at this situation, it's probably going to be dark."

"Okay, stay safe."

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with the waterways in this area."

Xianyu's wife is very capable, kind and generous.

Sure enough, she had known that Xianyu's original position was taken away by her. Before eating, she opened the skylight and spoke frankly. Not only did she not blame herself, but she also said she wanted to thank herself.

Jiang Meimei looked at Han Xiangning calling Captain Fan and felt like she was dreaming.

"Meimei, eat fruit."

"Oh, thank you Sister Ningning."

"Don't be embarrassed, we are the only ones on the boat, and there are no outsiders."

Han Xiangning put down the radio and picked up the needle and wool again. While continuing to knit the sweater for the baby, she said half-jokingly: "If you are worried about others gossiping, I can call Xianyu and we can come together when we are not busy someday." Let’s go to your unit and see you.”

Jiang Meimei was very moved and said hurriedly: "No need, Sister Ningning, as long as you don't blame me."

"I told you that we couldn't thank you enough, so how can we blame you?"

Han Xiangning smiled and said seriously and sincerely: "This person can't always think about the past. Everything must be moved forward. You are not young anymore, so you need to find a boyfriend as soon as possible."

Jiang Meimei felt very embarrassed and hummed in a mosquito-like voice.

"Do you like officers? If you like officers, I can help you introduce them. There are several cadres transferred from the Binjiang Fire Department to the Xianyu Unit. They said that there are many single cadres in the Fire Department."

"Sister Ning Ning, you are so kind."

"Here we go again, is it fun to talk about this all the time?"

After being forgiven by others, Jiang Meimei felt much better. She hesitated and said, "I don't want to find a boyfriend for the time being. I think... I want to change my job."

Han Xiangning asked curiously: "What job do you want to change?"

“I went to middle school and was supposed to be a teacher.”

"You want to be a teacher?"

Jiang Meimei took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I also want to change the environment."

Thinking of her situation in the Transportation Bureau, Han Xiangning nodded: "It would be nice to change the environment, but wouldn't it be troublesome to transfer Ma now?"

"I asked. It's not easy to be directly transferred to the education system. But every three years, the city organizes teachers to go to Nanyun to teach. Several batches have been sent. Once the teachers come back, they can be arranged to teach in schools."

There are teachers from Linghai who go to Nanyun to support teaching in Langning. It is said that the school there has a Linghai class. Linghai TV, Binjiang TV and Binjiang Daily have reported on it, and even reporter Wang went to interview it.

Thinking of the reports on volunteer teaching that he had read before, Han Xiangning reminded: "The conditions in Nanyun are not good. I heard that teaching as a volunteer is very hard. And if you don't go, it will last three years!"

"I know, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"Does your family agree?"

"I am like this just because I listened to my dad. Do you think I can listen to him again?"

"For such a big thing, you have to think about it yourself."

"I have already thought about it. In fact, I like to be a teacher."

Han Xiangning realized that she not only wanted to change her environment, but also wanted to "save herself" in this way, and sighed: "If you like it, just do it."
