Chapter 526: Foreign ship docking(1/2)

At 6:27, Bureau Tang and Deputy Director Xu got up early like the four team leaders in Linghai, rushed to the command and control room on the second floor of the barge, and directed the Singapore freighter Changfu to weigh anchor and dock.

The maintenance of the 76,000-ton foreign ship is no less important to Linghai than the Three Gorges Project, and city leaders such as Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian attach great importance to it.

Guiding a 76,000-ton foreign ship to dock safely is also a major event for the Yangtze River Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau. After all, the cargo ship has to enter the newly dredged special channel, which is equivalent to a trial voyage.

However, him and Bureau Xu's personal presence in commanding does not mean that they are actually commanding.

A layman cannot command an expert in water fire fighting, and the same is true for piloting. Professional matters must be left to professionals, otherwise major accidents may easily occur.

Han Xiangning went to Supervision 39, commanded Supervision 41 on the river and Binjiang Public Security 002 to guard and guard. Sitting in front of the command platform and commanding was Lao Wu, the deputy director of the Linghai Port Supervision Office and a former veteran captain.

The weather is good, there is no fog on the river today, and the field of vision is very good. We can clearly see the anchorage of the cruise ship through the telescope.

It’s the end of the year, and the two sessions will be held next month.

If the ship dock repair project goes well, it can be included in the government work report as a highlight of economic development.

Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian were very excited. They held up their binoculars and looked at a small boat that was slowly approaching the Singaporean ship. They asked puzzledly: "Tang Bureau, didn't the salted fish get on the boat just now? This small boat just arrived."

Which unit is it from?"

Tang Ju raised the telescope he brought from the bureau and observed it for a while, then smiled and said: "The pilot boat of the pilot center."

"Aren't they unfamiliar with the waterway and don't dare to arrange for people to divert the water?"

"If you are not familiar with it now, you can never be familiar with it. They are here to observe. Today, they will watch the salted fish divert the water for free. When another foreign ship enters Linghai Port, they will arrange for someone to divert the water."

"What about docking?"

"They don't care about docking. They are only responsible for bringing foreign ships into the port or outside the dock."

As soon as Tang Bureau finished speaking, Vice Mayor Shen added with a smile: "Secretary Ye, to ensure safety, each person is responsible for water diversion. When a ship docks, a pilot who is familiar with the dock will board the ship to guide the water."

Secretary Ye pondered: "We in Linghai are only familiar with the dock."

"Soon, more than just salted fish will be familiar with it."

Vice Mayor Shen looked back at Jack Zhang, who was standing in the corner, and said with a smile: "Zhang's head office has maritime affairs and engine maintenance. The maritime affairs is an experienced old captain, and the engine maintenance is a senior chief engineer. Maritime affairs

The captain and crew members that the engine maintenance company sent to the company to recruit some time ago went to Shenzhen to board the cruise ship that Mr. Xu had just renovated. They rushed back yesterday afternoon and are now helping at the dock."

The deeply upright Mr. Xu is Linghai’s benefactor.

Although Linghai Port was built as a joint venture between Linghai City and others, in fact Linghai only provided land and all the funds were invested by others.

Secretary Ye didn't expect that "Jack Zhang" was actually doing Mr. Xu's business. Just when he was wondering if he was introduced by Vice Mayor Shen, Vice Mayor Shen struck while the iron was hot and said: "Secretary Ye, Secretary Qian, Bureau Tang, Bureau Xu

, I almost forgot to report something, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen are going to set up an ocean shipping company next."

"Mr. Zhang, have you bought a boat?" Secretary Ye immediately became interested and looked back subconsciously.

Zhang Asheng said quickly: "We didn't buy a ship, and we don't have the strength. The ship belongs to a boss from Zhejiang. He mainly engages in the foreign trade business of import and export of small commodities. He is more interested in shipping, so he bought one and entrusted our company to manage it.

"

This Canadian Chinese who came here to attract investment does have some skills. Less than a year after the company was established, he sent three batches, with a total of thirty-six crew members on board. He also helped Linghai attract foreign ship maintenance business, and he will even get involved in the next step.

Ocean shipping.

Secretary Ye asked curiously: "How big is the ship?"

"More than 20,000 tons, an old ship built in Japan. Although the ship is almost 20 years old, its condition is not bad."

"Are you planning to fly offshore or international routes next?"

"Traveling to Southeast Asia, mainly transporting timber and importing timber."

“Which port should we use to transport timber from Southeast Asia?”

"Zhangjiagang."

Vice Mayor Shen knows the tricks of Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan best. In the past six months, the couple has been busy mobilizing wealthy bosses in Zhejiang, Jianfu and Dongguang to buy ships and engage in shipping, and the people they mobilized are all inexperienced.

They are so good at talking, some bosses are so moved by their sharp tongue that they spend huge sums of money to buy second-hand ships and then leave them to manage or even operate them.

Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian don’t know much about this, but Director Tang and Deputy Director Xu of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau do.

Vice Mayor Shen was worried that Zhang Asheng would spill the beans when a salty voice came from the radio.

"Linghai Traffic Control, Changfu is calling."

"Got it, please speak."

"Good morning, traffic control, Zhangfu is applying to you to sail from the north of the anchorage."

"Got it, report back when the anchor is off the bottom."

Old Wu glanced at the radar scan image on the computer monitor, then put down the radio intercom and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Han Chu, Han Chu, I, Old Wu, the Zhangfu is about to set sail, please be alert and guard."

"received!"

"There are three boats coming out. They may not be equipped with high-frequency radios. I can't shout. Please remind them to stay out of the way."

"I saw it, I've already let 002 pass."



At the same time, Han Yu was standing on the bridge observing the anchoring situation.

Captain Li's handing over of command does not mean that he no longer has to take responsibility, and he also stands in front of the bridge and observes.

When everything was ready, Han Yu raised the intercom: "Is the tugboat in place?"

"Bingang drags 11 to its destination!"

"Bingang drags 08 to its destination!"

"Okay, I'll give you one back for everything."

"11 received."

"08Received."

Last night, a bulk carrier of more than 20,000 tons arrived at the shipping anchorage, waiting to unload at the Shuzhou Port opposite.

The seagoing ship didn't know the situation, so it anchored directly when it arrived. The anchor was relatively close to the Changfu cargo ship. When setting sail, it was necessary to ensure that the two ships would not collide.

Han Yu walked to the left window and looked down, then raised the intercom again: "11 retreat three."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Retire three, receive 11."

"08 will gradually increase to three levels."

"08 withdraw from the Three-Party Plan."

Although the Zhangfu has side thrusters, its bow was damaged when it ran aground, and the damaged position was below the waterline. No one knows whether the side thrusters were damaged or not. Han Yu did not intend to let others use side thrusters unless it was absolutely necessary.

.

He frequently issued orders based on the channel and current conditions.

With the assistance of two tugs, and with the approval of Lao Wu in the barge, the giant ship safely sailed into the newly dredged special channel.

001, Yangtze Public Security Bureau 110 and Supervision 41 "cleared the way" in front.

Binjiang Public Security Bureau 002 and Supervisor 39 were at the rear, plus the pilot boat following behind. Looking around, the river surface was spectacular.

The dock is about three kilometers away from the barge.

When Secretary Ye and other leaders saw the giant ship passing by, they went ashore at the invitation of Vice Mayor Shen and drove to the dock. They came to a safe area temporarily painted with lime and watched the docking of the foreign ship up close.

In order for the leaders to both see and hear, Vice Mayor Shen and Lao Wu borrowed walkie-talkies to "broadcast live" through the walkie-talkies.

"001, report water depth!"

"The west side is 11.2 meters, the east side is 10.9 meters, and the middle is 11 meters."

"001 is docked and ready to bring cables."

"001 received."

Only the Singaporean captain can speak Chinese in the bridge, while the second mate, third mate and helmsman cannot.

Han Yu reported the depth of the water in English, then looked at the river and shouted: "Tow the 11 from Bingang, stand up and push the bow."

"Stand up, 11 received."

"Bingang Tuo 08, take it with you."

"08Received."

"Full right rudder."



The giant ship was lying across the river with the help of two tugboats, with its bow facing the dock gate.

001 transformed into a cable boat. Zhu Baogen and "Tandigong" Xiao Chen took the cable thrown by the sailor of the freighter and dragged it to the ship bit by bit.

From thin to thick, until the real cable is dragged onto the ship.

Captain Fan confirmed that the cable was tied and immediately reported to Han Yu.

"Push forward as planned."
