Riverside Police

Chapter 842 "Father Doesn't Kiss Mother Doesn't Love"

At nine o'clock in the morning, the accident investigation officially started.

In fact, Bureau Liu arranged for law enforcement officers to retrieve the recordings of the calls between Zhangjiagang Traffic Management Center and Wharf Port Commissioner and the two freighters yesterday, as well as relevant evidence stored in the VTS system.

But what we need to do now is to ask the crew first, and after the inquiry is completed, the representatives of the shipping companies in China and South Korea, as well as the representatives of the insurance company and the shipowners’ mutual insurance association will be invited to listen to the recording and read the relevant records of the VTS system. Carry out a "review" of the entire accident process, and analyze the cause of the accident together.

The cargo ship "Yuchang" capsized, and more than a dozen crew members were on the shore, and all of them were in Binjiang.

The investigation started with the crew of the "Yuchang", and all the crew were called to the Maritime Safety Administration, and they were questioned one by one.

There were so many people participating in the investigation that it was like "three joint trials".

The captain walked in anxiously, and sat down on a chair under Wu Haili's gesture.

Han Xiangning "took the lead" to be in charge of the inquiry, the management section chief of the accident department and Xiao Xiao of the accident department were in charge of recording, Liu Ju, Han Yu, and representatives from China and South Korea were in attendance.

The interrogation process is not only audio-recorded, but also video-recorded throughout.

Han Xiangning cleared his throat, raised his head and said, "Peng Xusheng, I am Han Xiangning, a staff member of the Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration. Next, we will investigate the water traffic accident in which your ship collided with the Korean freighter 'Yangmi'. Can you introduce the personnel involved in the accident investigation..."

Han Xiangning introduced them one by one, and when she introduced her juniors, she explained very seriously: "Because the accident involved Korean ships, in order to ensure the fairness of the investigation, our bureau specially invited Comrade Han Yu as an interpreter to communicate with the Korean representatives. communicate."

The ship sank and the cargo was gone!
The economic loss is so great, the captain is the first person responsible, he is nervous, and he doesn't even think about translating or not.

The two representatives of the Korean side were very satisfied, and felt that the investigators of the Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration were very professional.

Mr. Tang, who came over from the East China Sea to participate in the investigation, was even more satisfied, because the "interpreter" hired by Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration was his own, and Section Chief Han, who presided over the investigation, was the lover of the "interpreter"!

"Peng Xusheng, now is the official start. Let's investigate your captain's qualifications first. Please briefly describe your service history on seagoing ships and provide relevant certificates."

"OK……"

The captain of a large state-owned shipping company must have a good resume and a complete set of relevant certificates.

Just when Han Xiangning began to investigate the situation of the freighter and asked the ship to provide the relevant certificates of the "Yuchang" freighter, Han Yu took the crew certificate, captain's certificate of competency and other materials that the senior sister had just reviewed and handed them to the Korean representative. The translation will be in English, please confirm with the Korean representative.

Compared with Han Yu's translation, the two Koreans believed more in the translator they hired from Donghai.

They didn't nod slightly until the translator they hired confirmed that there was no problem.

After confirming that the captain and the ship are all right, then investigate the qualifications of the crew in the deck department and the engine department until the qualifications of all the crew are confirmed before entering the most critical link.

It’s a bit like a court trying a criminal case. The first court session is not to decide the case, but to “verify the identity” first. Just ask each person one by one to find out who is the name, when was arrested by the public security organ, and if there are many suspects involved, It may take a morning.

Han Xiangning invited the captain into the inquiry room again and asked about the voyage of the last voyage.

"My ship set sail from Yungang to Zhenjiang Huaneng Power Plant on September 9."

"What time did No. 3 set sail from Yungang?"

"3:[-] in the morning."

"What's on board?"

"coal."

"How many tons?"

"Eighteen thousand and four hundred tons."

This question is as important as the previous crew qualification investigation and ship certificate investigation, and it is directly related to whether the "Yuchang" is overloaded.

If there is a problem with the qualifications of the crew and the ship itself, and it is overloaded, the lawsuit will be brought to the maritime court in the future, and China Shipping will be more passive than it is now.

In short, from an emotional point of view, Han Xiangning very much hopes that the "Yuchang" freighter is not responsible, after all, the "Yuchang" is a Chinese freighter.However, the investigation must be conducted in a business-like manner, otherwise it will easily lead to international maritime disputes.

In fact, this big collision between China and South Korea has already had a great impact. Tang Bureau called again this morning, saying that the International Maritime Organization is very concerned about this, and many international shipping companies are more concerned about it.

Han Xiangning looked back at the two Koreans with expressionless faces, and reminded, "Go on."

"Oh." The captain calmed down, and continued: "At 9:4 am on September 10th, our ship picked up the pilot of the Yangtze River at Wusongkou for further continuation. Around 6:6 pm, with the approval of Zhangjiagang Traffic Control Center, according to the requirements of water diversion The left anchor was launched at [-] knots, and anchored at the Zhangjiagang anchorage for rest."

"Who is on bridge watch at anchor?"

"I."

"And you commanded the anchoring?"

"Yes."

"and then."

"After anchoring, the third officer took over. I didn't go ashore. I took a shower and rested after dinner."

It is normal for the third officer to be on duty when anchoring, and it is neither illegal nor illegal.

Han Xiangning asked the captain to go out first, and asked the staff to call the third officer in.

The third mate said that he did not doze off during his shift and found nothing unusual until he handed over to the second mate at 11:[-] at night.Han Xiangning asked the third mate to go out and wait a while, and called in the crew who was on duty with the third mate to inquire, and their statements were all correct.

The accident happened when the second officer was on duty, and the second officer was the focus of the inquiry.

The second officer had lingering fears recalling the accident, took a peek at the company leader, and said anxiously: "After I took over, I checked the position of my ship and found a cargo ship anchored about 0.8 nautical miles behind me. Considering the current in the river is relatively fast, I was worried about hitting the freighter behind me, set the alarm range, and then chatted with the sailor on duty on the bridge."

Although the ongoing investigation is the first time, Han Xiangning did some homework before the investigation, stared at him and asked: "You found a cargo ship behind you, do you know the name of the ship and what kind of ship it is? freighter?"

"I didn't know it was the 'Yanmi' at the time, but only through the light signals displayed by the 'Yanmi' when it was anchored, I could see that it was a small tonnage freighter."

"Did you use the radio to contact the 'Yanmi' and remind the 'Yanmi' to be on the lookout?"

"No, not at that time."

"Did you use the radio to ask the traffic control center what kind of cargo ship 'Yanmi' is?"

"Not at that time."

"Then when did you find out your ship's anchor shifted?"

"Around 1:15 at night."

The second officer thought for a while, drooped his head and said: "I was chatting with the sailor on duty, and suddenly found that the ship and the ship that broke down later were approaching, and immediately called the other party through the radio. If there is no response to multiple calls, I will immediately report to the captain. Captain When I rushed to the bridge, I saw a ship on the port side rushing towards my ship at a nearly right angle, and the stern flow was obvious, so the captain hurriedly gave way to the moving car and asked someone to lift the anchor."

Han Xiangning stared at him and asked, "Did you take any other measures while the car was moving and calling for someone to lift the anchor?"

"We blew five short beeps, and the radio continued to call. We were not just calling, we were calling on the radio, but the other party didn't respond, and the other party didn't take any evasive measures."

The second officer couldn't help but glanced at the representative of the Korean side, and then said: "Just as we were busy lifting the anchor and calling each other desperately on the phone, we heard a bang, and the bow of the 'Mian' hit me. The location of the ship's engine room."

"and then."

"In order to reduce the loss, the captain organized us to plug the leak, but the broken edge was 1 square meter, and we couldn't stop it no matter what. We had no choice but to close the valve of the oil tank to prevent pollution. The captain called the 'Yangmi' not to exit, But despite our repeated pleas, they lifted the anchor and reversed the vehicle and withdrew, and the rapid current just washed my boat downstream. Later, with the help of your maritime affairs, they pushed my boat into the shallows."

"I need to confirm the time node. When did you find out that your ship anchored and shifted?"

"Around 1:15."

"How far was your ship from the 'Yanmi' at that time?"

"The specific distance from me... I didn't pay attention to it at the time."

……

Every detail needs to be clarified, especially the time node and every order issued by the captain and the third officer before the two ships collided.

Just asked all the crew members of the cargo ship "Yuchang", and asked them until 9:[-] in the evening.

The more Mr. Tang listened, the more something was wrong. Once the inquiry was over, when the Korean left, he pulled Han Yu aside and said with a bitter face, "Xiao Han, can you tell your lover that they are all from your own family, can you not hold me back?" Do you want to let go of some small problems?"

The result of today's inquiry is extremely unfavorable to them.

Han Yu could understand his mood, looked behind him, and said helplessly: "Mr. Tang, Han Fang is not a fool. Especially the representative of the Korea Shipowners Mutual Insurance Association, chatting at lunch. He is an experienced old captain. Those details Even if my wife doesn't ask, people will still bring it up."

"Come on, this is not a place to talk, let's go to eat first."

"I don't need to eat. I have to go to the military division. The leader of the military division is waiting for me."

"Okay, I'll see you off."

"Don't give it away, I have a car."

"Let's go downstairs together."

"it is good."

Although China Shipping is a large state-owned shipping company, it is still a company in the final analysis, and it has to ask for help when encountering problems.

Mr. Tang didn't come here empty-handed, he had already prepared a bunch of "hearts".

Just now when Han Yu said he had a car, he directly thought that the Smuggling and Crime Investigation Bureau had provided Han Yu with a car, and planned to put "Xinyi" in the trunk of Han Yu's car.As a result, I went downstairs and saw that Han Yu was driving a very old-looking women's Mulan Qingqi!
"Xiao Han, don't rush to leave, I have some local products here."

"Mr. Tang, don't do this, it's really unnecessary."

"It's a small thing. It won't fit on the pedal. Wait a minute. I'll ask the driver to find a bigger bag."

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure I won't accept it." Han Yu looked up at the conference room on the fourth floor, which was still brightly lit, and said meaningfully after thinking about it: "Mr. The investigation has not started yet, the accident has already happened, there is no use for you to worry."

"The accident investigation belongs to the accident investigation, and the heart belongs to the heart."

"Don't do this, if you do this again, I will return to Jianfu tomorrow morning."

Mr. Tang saw that Han Yu was determined not to accept him, so he could only close the trunk of the car and watch Han Yu disappear into the night on a small Qingqi.

Han Yu rushed to the military division without stopping, and Commander Wang and Political Commissar Chen were waiting in the office.

Binjiang soldiers are participating in exercises along the southeast coast, and they want to know that the situation on the front line is normal.

Although Han Yu was very hungry, he could understand the feelings of the two leaders, and gave a concise report on the participation of the militia transportation brigade, rescue ship brigade and Linghai reserve battalion in the exercise.

"Did you start the drill the day after you got there?"

"Yes."

Han Yu said with a smile: "We took it seriously at the beginning and made so many preparations. But being prepared is definitely better than not being prepared. The chief spoke highly of our Binjiang detachment, especially the series of measures we adopted during the process of transporting troops. The anti-aircraft measures gave a high evaluation, and even named us in the meeting."

Commander Wang asked with a smile: "Which level chief praised it?"

"Chief of the Fleet."

"I thought it was the head of the military region."

"The head of the military region also knows."

"How did the head of the military region know?"

"Didn't we put anti-aircraft guns on board? During the voyage, we organized air defense training. Ma Jintao and Xiaoyu couldn't find the target, so they took the naval aviation transport plane that went to sea to inspect the transfer of troops as a target."

Commander Wang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Is there a chief on the plane?"

Han Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Well, Team Leader Fang of the logistics support team for the exercise was on the plane at the time. Not only did he see it, but he also asked the pilot to hover above our heads and took dozens of aerial photos. After going back, he took it as a The joke was told to the head of the fleet, and the head of the fleet told the head of the military region as a joke."

"Hahahaha, well done! If you don't make any noise, how will the chief know that we are going!"

Commander Wang couldn't be happier.

Commissar Chen asked nervously, "What ammo did you use in training?"

"The training ammunition was used, and we have observed that it is a friendly aircraft, and it is a transport aircraft without weapons. How could it be possible to use live ammunition."

"That's good. If it's loaded with live ammunition, what if it goes off?"

"If you go off fire, you'll be in big trouble. Shoot down the chief, not to mention that kid Xianyu will be finished, even you and I will go to a military court, hahaha."

Commander Wang didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he couldn't help laughing again.

The two leaders were very happy. How could Han Yu miss this opportunity and asked about the selection of outstanding reserve officers while the iron was hot.

Commander Wang didn't expect him to ask this question, and said with a smile: "It's only been a long time since your anti-rescue brigade was established, and you want honor!"

"It's been nearly a year since the establishment last year. What's the matter with honor? Our rescue ship brigade is not as highly valued by the superiors as the Linghai Reserve Battalion. We don't have money, and we don't need anything. If we don't even have honor, how can we motivate the whole nation? The officers and soldiers of the brigade?"

"It sounds reasonable."

"Can you give us two places?"

"No."

"Why?" Han Yu asked with a bitter face.

Commander Wang didn't know how to explain, so he turned around and looked at Commissar Chen.

Commissar Chen took out a cigarette, looked at Han Yu with a smile, and said, "The selection of outstanding reserve officers participated by the cadres of the Linghai Reserve Battalion was organized by the Jiangnan Army Reserve Division. Your rescue ship brigade belongs to the Navy Reserve, and they are the Army Reserve. They have no affiliation, how could they give you places!"

"Then which unit will the outstanding reserve officers of our brigade participate in the selection?"

"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. They have superiors, but you have no superiors, not even a superior. Where can you recommend?"

"Isn't the military division our superior?"

"Theoretically yes, but in fact that's not the case. Not to mention that the military divisions don't have selections in this area, even if they do, it's not very well received. After all, we belong to the Army and you are the Navy Reserve."

"Commander Wang, how about I go find the East China Sea Base?"

"I guess it's useless."

"Why is it useless?"

"They are active-duty troops, and they have no responsibility for the construction of national defense reserve forces. They can only select outstanding officers, and it is impossible to select outstanding reserve officers."

"So no matter what good things happen, it won't be our turn to rescue the ship brigade?"

"It's only because the relationship is not straightened out. Why don't you call and ask Office Chen to see if the Navy Headquarters can give you a review. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of filling in your name and stamping on the certificate. This is a spiritual reward. , and they don’t need to pay for it.”

The Rescue Boat Brigade is a wonderful thing, it's really a bit of a relationship between parents and mothers.

Commander Wang looked at Han Yu dumbfounded, patted his arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll call the provincial military region later and see if the provincial military region can get you some certificates."
