Riverside police

Haixun 49 docked, and Han Yu was not in a hurry to return to his unit, nor did he go home with the senior sister who came to greet him.

Taking into account that the Altun was anchored at the Yangtze Estuary shipping anchorage, he did not want the captain of the Altun and the agent entrusted by the shipping company of the Altun to go to the riverside. With the approval of the bureau, the Dongqi Maritime Department was allowed to dock at the Lianxing Port Fishery Wharf. A temporary office was set up to investigate and deal with the illegal activities of the Altyn.

After four days of tossing, the Altyn admitted its mistake and the penalty, entrusted an agent to pay the fine and set sail.

After checking the supply situation of Haixun 49, Han Yu drove to Bailong Port before dark, planning to go to the bureau early tomorrow morning.

Mom and dad are indeed ashore!

One is helping others repair boats at Boss Wu Shipyard, and the other is busy cleaning up the yard to prepare for the New Year.

Han Yu looked at his father who was rushing back from the shipyard with a smile and asked with a smile: "Dad, are you really determined to go ashore?"

"Your mother is not in good health. Last time she went to the People's Hospital, she was diagnosed with five or six diseases. My eyes are not good either. I can't see clearly without glasses. Your brother and your sister-in-law insisted on letting us go ashore."

Lao Han took off the glasses he had just worn for a few days, thought about it and smiled: "Xunxun is in the first grade of junior high school. His grandparents have to farm and take care of two children. They are really busy. Your mother and I can't Don’t go ashore again.”

Han Shen's brother-in-law is also married and has a child. His father-in-law and mother-in-law only had to take care of Xunxun before, but now they have to take care of not only their grandson but also their grandson. The family has eight acres of land. Thinking about it, the two old people are really busy.

It is worth mentioning that the two-story house Han Shen built in his father-in-law's village was sold to his brother-in-law Ji Xiaojun for 30,000 yuan.

The family area of ​​Bailonggang Passenger Terminal is now not only the home of parents, but also the home of elder brothers and sisters-in-law. After all, they are boat owners, and anyone who is a boat owner would like to set up their home by the river.

Time flies so fast, Xunxun is about to go to junior high school!

Han Yu smiled and asked: "Dad, so Xunxun is going to transfer to the Fourth Factory to go to school?"

"Well, your mother and I will be responsible for picking up and dropping off from now on." After floating on the water for most of his life, he finally landed. Han was really not used to it. He put on his glasses, took out a cigarette and smiled: "I know you and Ning Ning know the city leaders. , but there is no need to go to the big boss for Xunxun’s transfer. Principal Gao helped me say hello to Principal Yu of No. 4 Middle School, and he will transfer after the Chinese New Year.”

She takes her grandson to and from school every day and cooks for her grandson every day. They will not be lonely after they come ashore.

Han Yu was happy for his parents from the bottom of his heart. After thinking about it, he asked curiously: "Dad, are you tired from the work in the shipyard?"

"What's so tiring about repairing a ship? It's just a little dirty." Old Han lit his cigarette and asked, "San'er, do you know what kind of ship I've repaired in the past two days?"

"What kind of ship is being repaired?" Han Yu asked curiously.

"Small sea liner, including the one repaired today, Boss Wu said that five will be repaired in the second half of the year."

Lao Han flicked his cigarette ashes and said with excitement: "Have you noticed that there are more and more small sea-going ships entering the river during this period! Some are second-hand small sea-going ships bought from abroad, and they are older than you. Some are refitted fishing boats. , some are made by small shipyards. What I am repairing today is a second-hand small seagoing ship bought from abroad. It is already in a state of disrepair. You will know how broken it is when you go to the shipyard and take a look."

When Lao Han said this, Han Yu suddenly realized that there were many small seagoing ships on the river during this period.

"Where do those little sea ships come from?"

"There are those from Jianfu and those from Zhehai, but now some have become boats from Jiangnan, some have become boats from Hui'an, and some have become boats from Nanhu and Beihu."

"Register in a different place and change the port of registry?" Han Yu asked in a low voice.

"Um."

The competition in water transport on the Yangtze River is already fierce. Those small sea-going ships also ran into the Yangtze River to grab the supply of goods. Although Lao Han came ashore, the cargo ships built by selling iron were still running on the river. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He put out his cigarette butts and complained to his son.

"Those second-hand old ships imported from abroad and small seagoing vessels modified from old fishing boats are of poor quality and even worse seaworthiness! The ship I repaired today has an oil-water separator on the certificate, but there is no oil-water separator on the ship. It is more than 200 tons. The ship was inspected and registered as 198 gross tons, and the ship with 500 gross tons was inspected and registered as 499 tons, all of which are 'big ships with small certificates'!"

"Who inspected and registered them?"

"Who else can do it except the local maritime affairs department? In some places, the maritime affairs department only cares about money and will provide all kinds of certificates."

By registering a large ship as a small ship, it can be manned according to the standard of a small ship. Saving one person on board can save the labor cost of one crew member when engaged in transportation.

But other people’s ships have certificates, so you can’t say there’s something wrong with the certificate issued by the local maritime department.

Han Yuzheng didn't know what to say. Old Han continued: "The boat I built today didn't even have the Yangtze River waterway atlas and port hydrology data! I chatted with the Jianfu ship boss for a while, and he even said "Inland River Refuge" I don’t even know about the rules of collision or the routing regulations of the southern section of the Yangtze River!”

If on the road, this kind of driver who knows nothing is a "road killer".

Han Yu realized the seriousness of the problem and asked: "Dad, do they have a crew certificate and a certificate of competency?"

"I used to think that I had no education, but it turned out that they had no education. They couldn't speak Mandarin well, and their handwriting was crooked. Some had certificates, and some didn't. Those crew members who had certificates probably bought their certificates with money! Moreover, , those small seagoing ships are not manned enough.”

"The certificate is incomplete, the certificate of competency does not match the crew, and the level of the crew certificate of competency is low?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, go check it out on the river. I'll be responsible if you can't find out these problems!"

"Since there are so many problems, don't they need to apply for visas as required when arriving in Hong Kong?"

"San'er, I'm not talking about your maritime affairs, you just know how to take care of us honest people. Those dishonest people on the river have many ways to evade your inspection."

Lao Han couldn't help but complain about his son. Although his daughter-in-law used to be in the maritime industry, she was too powerful to complain about him, so he only dared to complain about his son.

Han Yu didn't expect that the situation would turn and it would be his turn to stand on the opposite side of his father. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "How did those dishonest ship owners escape our inspection?"

"You maritime officers are just like the traffic police on the shore. You only go to the river for inspections during working hours, and you have a lunch break at noon. People calculate your commuting time. It's really unlucky to be caught by you. There are excuses, either because the crew members have family emergencies or the crew members are suddenly ill. Otherwise, they said they were going to change the crew in Hong Kong, but in fact, the crew of the previous shift left before completing the visa application process."

Old Han looked back at Han Xiangning, who had just returned from work, and continued: "If you board the ship for inspection, you have to verify the person's identity and certificate on the spot. They won't even show you the certificate. They will delay the time first, saying that no one is on the ship. , or the certificate is not on board, it will be said that the certificate has been taken ashore by an agent or salesperson to apply for a visa.”

Han Xiangning heard what her father-in-law was talking about and couldn't help but ask, "What if we can't get through?"

When his daughter-in-law came back, Lao Han lost his confidence and said after hesitation: "They will find a way to find an agent, or quickly contact their relatives and friends who are running boats nearby, and ask the agent to help them go to a nearby port, or ask their relatives and friends to go to a nearby port. On the small seagoing ship, we can temporarily borrow a few certified crew members to handle the situation."

Han Yu looked up at his senior sister and asked, "Dad, how many small seagoing ships do you estimate have entered the Yangtze River during this period?"

"I estimate no less than five hundred!"

As a "ship owner" who has been engaged in freight transportation on the Yangtze River for a long time, Lao Han hated the small sea vessels that came to the Yangtze River to compete unfairly. He gritted his teeth and said: "They don't understand the water traffic rules at all. They either anchor in violation of the regulations or occupy the area." The waterway will never be empty no matter where it goes, and any goods can be transported.

They dare to transport light cargo even if they encounter it, without considering reasonable stowage at all. Some small seagoing ships still want to load the cargo hold when it is full, so that the deck is full. Not only is it overloaded, but there is no safe passage. If they do this, the boat will capsize sooner or later! "

"Is there any more?" Han Yu asked.

"They won't ask you to apply for a visa at all. They will only ask the local maritime affairs department to apply for an entry and exit visa. Anyway, as long as they can save money, they will save as much as they can."

Some ships avoid the supervision of the "national team" and go to local maritime authorities to handle entry and exit visas and other procedures. This is now becoming more and more serious.

Because since the reform of the national maritime system in 2000, superior authorities have divided national maritime and local maritime jurisdiction waters along the Yangtze River. Taking the main line of the Yangtze River and the estuary of the Tongjiang River as the dividing line, ships sailing on the main line of the Yangtze River belong to the national maritime administration, and after entering the estuary, they belong to the local maritime administration.

There is a big difference in the fee collection standards. For the same ship, the national maritime department levies more fees than the local maritime department, which directly causes ships arriving at the port to go to the local maritime department to get a visa.

In other words, local maritime affairs are grabbing the “business” of the national maritime affairs!

Han Xiangning looked at Han Yu with a half-smile, but it was written on his face that you are now in the maritime affairs department. What would you do if something like this happened to you?

Han Yu felt very uncomfortable and said angrily: "I'm going to the bureau tomorrow to report these situations to Bureau Xu and Bureau Zhu."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law seemed to be on his side, Old Han muttered, "What's the use of just reporting?"

"Dad, there are some problems that cannot be solved by our bureau. After the New Year, I will go to the capital to attend the two sessions. I will use this time to conduct research and make suggestions to my superiors."

"I almost forgot, you are a deputy to the National People's Congress, San'er, you need to tell the central government that you can't let those small sea ships disrupt the transportation order of the Yangtze River!"

"Okay, Dad, you go wash your hands first and eat soon."

"Oh, you guys are busy, I'm going to wash up."

Watching his father-in-law leave, Han Xiangning chuckled and said, "Now you know that maritime work is not that easy, right?"

Han Yu scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's really not easy to do. The Altin has been investigated and dealt with in the past few days. Do you know what the agent the owner of the Altin in the East China Sea said to me?"

"What do people say?"

"He said that our Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau is a port-type maritime safety bureau. The sea area where the Altyn illegally discharged garbage is neither a port nor a navigable water. We have no right to punish it."

"Did they pay the fine?"

"I paid it. Although I admitted my mistake and accepted the penalty, from the agent's tone, they just considered the shipping schedule and did not want to waste us. Anyway, the fine was not much. They were only fined 20,000 yuan."

"Are they reluctant?" Han Xiangning looked at him and asked with a smile.

"They were not reluctant, but unconvinced." Han Yu took a deep breath, stood up and said, "The agent talked to me about the Maritime Traffic Safety Law, but the Maritime Traffic Safety Law was enacted in 1983 and implemented in 1984. , the relevant provisions are indeed lagging behind.”

Han Xiangning put down her bag and asked with a bit of schadenfreude: "Are you just being taught a lesson on the rule of law?"

"How can it be!"

Han Yu waved his hand and said loudly: "If he talks to me about the law, I can also talk to him. I took out Document No. 161 of the National Maritime Safety Administration, which is the "Notice on Determining the Jurisdiction of Directly Affiliated Maritime Areas." It is clear. Tell him that it extends due east from the shore along the 32°40′00″ north latitude line to 32°40′00″N/121°05′00″ east longitude, and extends due north along the 121°05′00″ east longitude line to 33°00′00″N/121°05′00″.

Then extend due east along the 33°00′00″ north latitude line to 33°00′00″N/121°55′00″E, and then extend due south along the 121°55′00″E longitude line to 31°40 ′00″N/121°55′00″E, and then extend due west along the 31°40′00″ north latitude line to Taoming Island. The sea areas within this range are under the jurisdiction of our Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration!”

Han Xiangning couldn't help but smile and said: "As expected of the leader of the bureau in charge of maritime traffic safety, he remembers his jurisdiction so clearly."

"Ning Ning, don't laugh at me. The situation at sea is different from that on the river. It's really hard not to do more homework."

"We still have to take care of things on the river, such as the situations your dad just reacted to."

"I know, I will report to Bureau Xu tomorrow."
