Chapter 528
At 27:[-], Director Tang and Deputy Director Xu woke up early like Linghai's four team leaders, rushed to the command and dispatch room on the second floor of the barge, and commanded the Singapore cargo ship Zhangfu to anchor and dock.

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

Guiding the [-]-ton foreign ship to dock safely is also a major event for the Yangtze Riverside Port Supervision Bureau.After all, the freighter has to enter the dedicated channel that has just been dredged, which is equivalent to a trial voyage.

However, his and Xu Ju's personal command does not mean real command.

Laymen in water fire fighting cannot direct experts, and the same is true for piloting.Professional matters must be entrusted to professional people, otherwise it is easy to cause major accidents.

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

The weather is beautiful, there is no fog on the river today, and the vision is very good, and the anchorage of Hailan can be clearly seen through the telescope.

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

If all goes well with the outer dock repair project, 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 to look at a small boat that was slowly approaching the Singapore Ocean Shipping Line, and asked puzzledly: "Tang Ju, didn't the salted fish get on the boat just now? The small boat that just arrived Which unit is it from?"

Bureau Tang raised the binoculars he brought from the bureau to observe for a while, then said with a smile, "The pilot boat of the pilot center."

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

"If you are not familiar with it now, you can't never be familiar with it. They are here to observe. Today, they are watching from the sidelines to divert the salted fish, and there is no charge. When there are foreign ships entering Linghai Port, they will arrange people to divert the water."

"Where's going into the dock?"

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

As soon as Bureau Tang finished speaking, Deputy Mayor Shen added with a smile: "Secretary Ye, to ensure safety, each section of water diversion is responsible for each section. When the ship enters the dock, a pilot who is familiar with the dock will board the ship and divert water."

Secretary Ye pondered: "We in Linghai are familiar with the docks from Xianyu."

"Soon it will not only be familiar to salted fish."

Deputy Mayor Shen glanced back at Jack Zhang who was standing in the corner, and said with a smile: "Zhang's head office has marine affairs and maintenance. Some time ago, I sent the captain and crew recruited by the company to Shenzheng to board the cruise ship that Mr. Xu just renovated, and they rushed back yesterday afternoon, and they are helping at the dock right now."

The upright Xu is always the benefactor of Linghai.

Although Linghai Port was built in 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 also doing Mr. Xu's business. He was wondering if it was introduced by Deputy Mayor Shen. Deputy Mayor Shen said while the iron was hot: "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 hurriedly said: "We didn't buy a boat, and we don't have the strength. The boat belongs to a Zhejiang Hai boss. He mainly does 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. "

The Canadian Chinese who came here from Xianyu’s investment promotion is indeed a bit capable. The company sent three batches within a year of its establishment. A total of 36 crew members boarded the ship. He also helped Linghai to attract foreign ship maintenance business. Next, he will even set foot in ocean shipping. .

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

"More than 2 tons, an old ship, built in Japan, although the ship is almost 20 years old, but the ship is still in good condition."

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

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

"Which port is used to transport the timber from Southeast Asia back?"

"Zhangjiagang."

Deputy Mayor Shen knows Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan's routine best, but the two of them have been busy mobilizing rich bosses in Zhejiang Hai, Jianfu and Dongguang to buy ships for shipping in the past six months, and the mobilizers are all ignorant.

They are so good at talking, and some bosses are really moved by their three-inch tongue, and spend huge sums of money to buy second-hand boats, and then hand them over to them for management and even operation.

Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian are not very knowledgeable, but Bureau Tang and Deputy Director Xu of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau do.

Deputy Mayor Shen was worried that Zhang Asheng had slipped his tongue when the voice of salted fish came from the radio.

"Linghai Traffic Control, Zhangfu is calling."

"Yes, please speak."

"Good morning traffic control, Zhangfu is applying to set sail for you in the north of Hailin anchorage."

"Received, report when the anchor is off the bottom."

Lao Wu glanced at the radar scanning image on the computer monitor, then put down the radio intercom, and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Han Chu Han Chu, my old Wu, the Zhangfu is about to set sail, please pay attention to guard."

"received!"

"There are three boats going up and down the water. They may not be equipped with high-frequency radios. I can't shout them. Please remind them to avoid them."

"I see, I've let 002 pass."

……

At the same time, Han Yu was standing on the bridge to observe the anchor situation.

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

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

"Bingang tow 11 in place!"

"Bingang tow 08 in place!"

"Okay, you have to give back one."

"11 received."

"08 received."

A bulk carrier of more than 2 tons came to the anchorage last night, waiting to unload at Shuzhou Port opposite.

The seagoing ship didn't know the situation, so it anchored directly when it came. The anchor was relatively close to the cargo ship Zhangfu, and it was necessary to ensure that the two ships would not collide when they set sail.

Han Yu walked to the window on the left and looked down, then raised the walkie-talkie again: "11 back three."

"Back three, received on 11."

"08 is also gradually added to the third retreat."

"08 back three."

Although Zhangfu has a side thruster, the bow was damaged when it ran aground, and the damaged position is below the waterline. No one knows if it has caused damage to the side thruster. Han Yu does not intend to let others use the side thruster unless it is absolutely necessary. .

He frequently issued orders according to the channel and current conditions.

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

001, Yangtze River Public Security 110 and Supervision 41 "cleared the way" ahead.

Binjiang Public Security 002 and Supervision 39 are in the rear, together with the pilot boat following behind, the river is spectacular as far as the eye can see.

The dock is about three kilometers from the barge.

Seeing the giant ship passing by, Secretary Ye and other leaders went ashore at the invitation of Deputy Mayor Shen and drove to the dock, and came to the safe area temporarily painted with lime to watch the outer ship docking at a close distance.

In order for the leaders to see and hear, Deputy Mayor Shen and Lao Wu borrowed a walkie-talkie and "live broadcasted" it through the walkie-talkie.

"001, report the water depth!"

"11 meters two on the west side, ten meters nine on the east side, and 11 meters in the middle."

"001 docked, ready to take the cable."

"001 received."

Only the Singaporean captain, the second and third mates and the helmsman can understand Chinese in the bridge.

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

"Stand up, 11 received."

"Bingang drag 08, take it with you."

"08 received."

"Full right rudder."

……

With the assistance of two tugboats, the giant ship was crossing the river, and the bow of the ship was facing the gate of the dock.

001 turned into a cable boat, Zhu Baogen and the "land lord" Xiao Chen took the cable thrown by the sailors of the freighter and dragged it onto the boat bit by bit.

From thin to thick, until the real cable is dragged on board.

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

"Proceed as planned."

"001 received."

The cable on the Singapore freighter was long enough, and 001 increased the horsepower to drag the cable to the northernmost shore of the dock.

The marine affairs of Zhang Asheng's company had been waiting for a long time, and immediately ordered three dock workers to take the cable and tie it to the cable pile on the shore.

At this time, the first mate and the "carpenter" at the bow of the freighter had instructed the sailors to throw out the second cable.

The maintenance of Zhang Asheng's company and the team leader of COSCO Shipyard who came to help organized the dock workers to tow to the north and tie the cable to the No. 16 bollard on the west bank.

"Bingang Tow 11 no longer needs to be jacked up, it is unmoored and docked."

"11 received."

Bin Gang dragged the crew on No. 11 to untie the cable, then turned around in the river, bypassed the stern of the freighter, and entered the dock from the port side of the freighter.

001 completed the cable-carrying task, waited for Bingang Tow 11 to enter the designated position, fastened the cable dropped by the sailors of the freighter, and slowly drove out of the dock under Han Yu's command.

To ensure safety, Han Yu did not plan to use the "car" any more.

Let the chief mate and sailors on the bow deck of the freighter slowly take up the cable with a winch, and slowly move into the dock with the assistance of Bingang Tow 11.

The current task of Bingang Tuo 08 is mainly to hold the stern of the freighter and ensure the attitude of the freighter when it is docked.

Secretary Ye did not expect that a freighter of more than 7 tons would be docked in this way, and asked in a low voice: "With three nylon ropes dragged in, will the three ropes bear it? Will it break?"

In this regard, the youngest deputy director of the Harbor Supervision Bureau is an expert, and explained with a smile: "Secretary Ye, this is not an ordinary nylon rope, but a rope made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. When the ship's deadweight tonnage is less than 12 tons , Its breaking load is not less than 32 tons. The cable car on the freighter is not an ordinary cable winch. I have read the materials submitted by the agent, and the minimum breaking load of the cable car brake is greater than [-] tons.”

"Stronger than steel wire rope?"

"Well, in fact, many ports do not allow the use of wire rope."

Deputy Mayor Shen added without losing the opportunity: "Leaders, the cable piles of the dock are also very strong, and they are connected to the pile foundations that were drilled before. And in order to ensure the safety of the cables, Xianyu has already marked out the operation area and safety area."

Freighters can't even get up when they dock at the pier.

Freighters can't get up faster when they dock.

With nearly a hundred people on board and on shore busy, it took nearly an hour for the freighter to safely enter the dock.

Secretary Ye and others were not allowed to enter the work area, and could only observe with binoculars from a distance.

I saw several marks made with paint on the hull, and marks made with paint on the shore.

Han Yu disembarked along the pilot ladder, took the Bingang Tug 08 that followed the dock, and disembarked on the west side of the dock, and then took the jeep of the engineering department to go around to the east bank. On the spot, he directed the crew to loosen or rewind the cable, and commanded two tugboats to assist the freighter in adjusting its position.

After being busy for another hour, Bingang Tow 11 completed the task and returned to Binjiang Port.

All the cables were brought up, and a dozen of them were pulled back, forth, left, and right.

These cables come from the freighter itself or from the dock.

Han Yu checked around the freighter, and immediately ordered Bingang Tuo 08, who hadn't left for a while, to drag over the pontoon-style dock door and close the dock door.

It takes time to close the door, and even longer to drain the water.

It was impossible for Secretary Ye, Tang Ju and other leaders to wait until the afternoon. With the consent of the customs and border inspection stationed in the dock, and under the communication and coordination of Zhang Asheng, Shen Rulan and Tang Wentao, they met with the Singaporean captain and the third officer of the Philippines who came ashore in a small boat. Thank you again After a while, Han Yu and other hard-working staff went back home one after another.

The pump in the dock door and the twelve high-power water pumps temporarily installed on both sides of the dock door were opened together, the noise of drainage was deafening, and the water level in the dock was slowly dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The captain of Singapore did not dare to stay on the shore for a long time, so he returned to the ship, and under the reminder of Han Yu, he commanded the sailors on the deck to continuously adjust the cables.

At one sixteen in the afternoon, the divers entered the water.

At 45:[-], the freighter sat firmly on the pier that had been arranged earlier.

At 56:[-], the freighter opened all sea valves and began to discharge the last ballast water on board.It has been discharged once before docking, but it cannot be completely emptied, otherwise the stability of the hull cannot be guaranteed.

At 28:[-] p.m., the water in the dock was largely empty.

The engineering department organized workers to enter and clean up the silt at the bottom of the dock as planned.

Immediately afterwards, trucks loaded with yellow sand entered the dock through the small gate on the north side and began to spread sand as planned.

The bottom of the dock is already wet, and the weather is very cold, so anti-slip measures must be taken.

As soon as the yellow sand was laid, engineering vehicles and trucks entered the dock in an orderly manner under the order of the commander-in-chief on site. Some were busy pulling wire ropes to reinforce the hull, and some were busy installing tower cranes.

One tower crane is installed on the outside of the bow, and one is installed on the outside of the stern, which is convenient for hoisting and repairing materials.Scaffolding workers also entered the dock with the approval of the border inspection and began to build scaffolding.

Vehicles from sewage treatment plants and landfills also entered the dock one after another, and began to receive waste oil, sewage and various garbage from freighters as planned...

The preparations are sufficient, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

When Captain Li arranged the work on board and took a group of crew members who disembarked in turn to go ashore, the sidewalk leading to the freighter had already been set up.

Professional shelf builders, very stable, very strong.

There are guardrails on both sides above and a safety net below, even if you accidentally fall, you will only fall on the safety net.

They couldn't believe how efficient the Chinese workers were. They went through immigration procedures on the spot, looked at Han Yu who had just changed into a police uniform and asked, "Officer Han, it seems that you are not only fast in loading and unloading cargo, but I believe you are also fast in repairing ships. "

"This is for sure. There is no ship repairing company in the world that is more efficient than ours in China."

Han Yu smiled slightly, then raised his arms to salute, and said seriously and sincerely: "Mr. Captain, China Linghai welcomes you."

"Thank you, it's an honor to come to Linghai."

The captain raised his hand in return, and after thinking about it, he saluted all the staff including the border police officers who went through the immigration formalities.

Shen Rulan greeted her with a smile in English: "Gentlemen, it's getting late. The car is over there. I'll take everyone to the hotel."

"Thank you."

Zhang Asheng and the others had already arranged the reception work, and even helped to book the hotel room.

Han Yu sent the first batch of people who went ashore to rest on the Toyota bus, and came back to check whether the safety measures were in place.

At least [-] to [-] workers have to work all night today. For example, the two tower cranes must be installed before [-]:[-] tomorrow morning.

Xie Xingbao, a police officer from the Development Zone Bureau, and Ma Jintao and Guo Weitao, policemen from the Water Branch Bureau, are now both firefighters and safety officers, and they will work in three shifts to supervise the shipyard in turn.

Considering that the freighter will no longer be able to cook or even use the toilets from today, the management committee does not know where to transfer six prefab rooms for the reception of the left-behind foreign ship crew.

There is a kitchen on the shore, providing buffet.

There is a bathroom where you can take a shower.

There is a laundry room with washing machines for washing clothes.

There is a telephone room where you can make international calls.

But these are charges.

Guo Weitao looked back at the two crew members who had just come ashore for dinner, and asked curiously, "Yu Ju, why were you so polite to Captain Li just now, and even saluted him?"

"Without the crew, half of the world would starve and the other half would freeze."

Han Yu leaned over to check the fire pipeline, thought about it and said: "Sailor is a sacred profession, especially the captain, who has a very high status abroad. We must give them due respect."

"But he doesn't respect our Chinese laws. He knows that sewage cannot be discharged in the Yangtze River, but he also directly discharges dirty oil, sewage, and garbage from cleaning cargo holds and decks into the river."

"This matter has been investigated and has nothing to do with him."

"It has nothing to do with him?"

"Zhang's head office has maritime affairs, and the shipping company he serves is much larger than Zhang's shipping management company. The sea affairs of their company used to be a captain. They have been to China and sailed on the Yangtze River. Pollution prevention and control is not lax but not at all, let him discharge directly into the river."

"Maritime Captain?"

"Of course, the sailing plan and how to enter and leave the port are all formulated by the sea affairs. The sea affairs must be familiar with the laws of the relevant countries and ports and the rules of entry and exit. Their company has already known about Xiang Ning's punishment of them, and they informed the agent early this morning. Call and ask the agent to pass on their apologies."

"Is the Singaporean owner unhappy?"

"They violated the law and regulations themselves, why should they be unhappy. This is in our China. If it is replaced by European and American countries, if they do this, they will be punished to death."

Han Yu paused, and then changed the subject: "They are wrong, but they have already been punished, and we cannot disrespect them because of this. I once went abroad to perform a mission, and I went to the Netherlands first. When I entered the customs Well, the staff of the Dutch customs looked at my documents and knew that I was the chief mate of a seagoing ship and I was going to board the ship in the Netherlands. They respected me very much, saluted me, and welcomed me to the Netherlands.”
