Riverside police

At 4:12, Han Yu, Team Leader Xu, Section Chief Yang and others took a Coaster bus from the Port Supervision Bureau and rushed to the dock.

The armed policemen of the Second Guarding Squadron of the Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station have been notified, but they still inspect documents one by one in accordance with regulations.

As soon as Han Yu handed over his work permit to the armed police on duty, he saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar young man standing at the dock talking to the foreign captain. He couldn't help shouting: "Tang Wentao?"

The young man was stunned and asked subconsciously: "You called me, who are you..."

"Old classmate, don't you recognize me?"

"Salted fish!"

"Hahahaha, I thought you forgot about me."

Tang Wentao greeted the foreign captain and came up to him with his briefcase. He punched Han Yu without hesitation: "You have grown so tall, I almost didn't recognize you. I have not forgotten you. It was you who gave me Forgot. They knew clearly that I was in Binjiang, and when I got married to the school belle, I invited Dean Shao, Teacher Wu, and Fan Yihua, but not me. Do you not treat me as a classmate, or are you worried that I won't contribute? "

There are so many classmates, but only three work in Binjiang.

Because I'm usually busy, I can't keep in touch, and I haven't moved around much. I forgot to invite my old classmates when I got married. It's a bit unreasonable when I think about it.

Han Yu suddenly regretted greeting his old classmate and said with an embarrassed look: "I didn't think carefully. I'll invite you later, alone."

"You just look down on me."

"You are a shipping agent. You have the best career and the highest salary. I can't look down on you even if I look down on anyone. By the way, the owner of this ship is a customer of your company?"

"Um."

Tang Wentao was a real "dock man". When he saw so many people coming from the Port Supervision Bureau, he hurriedly left Han Yu, an old classmate, to say hello to Team Leader Xu, Section Chief Yang and others.

The freighter is being loaded and will leave tonight.

Team leader Xu had no time to chat with him and patted his arm: "Xiao Tang, you came just in time. We have to conduct a safety inspection on this ship. Let's get on the ship together to be witnesses. If there are any problems during the inspection, you can also It’s better to contact the ship owner in time.”

Shipping agency is equivalent to an intermediary.

Be loyal to others when entrusted by others.

Since the shipowner’s agency fee has been collected, it is necessary to help the shipowner handle all matters including entry and exit, loading and unloading.

Tang Wentao had never seen Team Leader Xu look so serious, and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't we check it when we docked?

Team leader Xu said calmly: "Having been inspected does not mean that there is no need to inspect again. You can understand it as an inspection before setting sail."

It was the first time Tang Wentao encountered this situation. He turned around to look at his old classmates and asked: "Team Xu, Xianyu is not your security inspector at the Port Supervision. Why is he following you?"

"Xianyu is the PSC inspection consultant hired by our Port Supervision Bureau. Please quickly communicate with the captain and ask him to cooperate."

"Okay, I'll go tell him first."

It was obvious that they had to check again, but the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau took the wrong medicine today. I also brought Xianyu here, and Xianyu actually became the PSC inspection consultant of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau...

Tang Wentao was confused, but it was related to whether the customer's cargo ship could leave the port in time, so he didn't dare to take it seriously, so he hurried over to communicate with the captain.

The captain understood the situation and hurriedly came to welcome him.

Inspections by port supervision officials must also be welcomed, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Accompanied by the captain, everyone climbed onto the ship along the gangway and went straight to the captain's cabin as usual to check whether the ship's certificates, documents, books and materials, and crew certificates were complete and valid, as well as the oil record book, garbage record book, and ballast water treatment. and captain's night sailing instructions and other information.

In fact, these are the main tasks of the captain. Compared with these ships, driving is only one of the captain's many tasks. In terms of driving, the captain mainly directs and does not need to personally steer the ship.

Various certificates and information pile up.

Tang Wentao was standing by the cabin door and was muttering that Xianyu had changed his career long ago and was now the deputy fire detachment leader of the Changhang Branch. How could he possibly know this? Han Yu suddenly raised his head and asked: "Mr. Captain, are all the crew certificates here?"

"Yes, fourteen crew members, fourteen sets of certificates, fully comply with the minimum manning requirements."

"Please ask Mr. Emilio to come over."

"Okay, please wait."

Although he was very reluctant, the port inspector could not be offended, so the captain quickly asked the first mate standing outside to call someone.

Han Yuzai carefully checked the crew certificate in his hand, and then picked up several other certificates for comparison.

I don’t know for sure if I don’t compare. After all, God knows whether the relevant agencies in the Philippines will issue certificates indiscriminately. After this comparison, I finally had an idea in my mind and handed several certificates to Team Leader Xu with a smile.

Team leader Xu compared it repeatedly and nodded slightly.

The captain was stunned and stood at the edge but hesitated to speak.

Tang Wentao secretly wondered if there was something wrong with the crew certificate. At this time, a dark-skinned crew member walked in under the leadership of the first mate.

"Mr. Emilio?"

"Yes, sir."

"Is this your certificate?"

"It's mine. Any questions sir?"

Han Yu looked up at the crew and raised the certificate he had just received from Team Leader Xu: "When did you participate in crew training, and when did you get the certificate?"

The crew member was not nervous. He blinked and said in very non-standard English: "Trained in 1989, got the certificate in 1989."

"What month and day was it in 1989?"

"Mr. Inspector, it's been so long that I don't remember."

"It doesn't matter if I can't remember the specific date, but I think it was probably the first half of the year or the second half of the year, or what month it was. You know, for the crew, getting the certificate is a very memorable day."

"I remember this, it was the certificate I got in March 1989." The crew looked at Han Yu more and more familiarly, and suddenly remembered what happened at noon, and couldn't help asking: "You are not an inspector, are you a police officer?"

"I am a police officer and a PSC inspection consultant of the Port Supervision Bureau." Han Yu took out the consultant work certificate that Sister Zhu asked the office to make urgently, showed it to the crew member being questioned, and then raised it to the captain.

The captain nodded to express his approval of the inspection qualification.

Han Yu put away the consultant's work permit, picked up the crew certificate again, and said bluntly: "Mr. Captain, I have reason to suspect that Mr. Emilio's crew certificate is fake."

"No way, Mr. Consultant, you are so funny, but this joke is not funny at all."

"I'm not kidding, as the chief administrator of the ship, you are responsible for this too."

"Mr. Consultant, why do you think the certificate is fake?"

"The conversation just now was recorded."

Han Yu looked down at the recorder on the table and said, "I asked Mr. Emilio when he got the certificate, and Mr. Emilio told me it was March 1989."

The captain asked calmly: "Any questions?"

"Of course there is. The coding rules of the certificate are arranged according to the date of issuance. Judging from the number, this certificate should have been issued on August 16, 1989. Please tell me how Mr. Emilio got it in March The certificate will be issued in August?”

The captain really never noticed that the certificate number actually had such details, but he quickly realized it and immediately shrugged: "Maybe the issuing agency made a mistake, maybe Mr. Emilio remembered it wrong, everything is possible, and this cannot be a doubt. Evidence of the authenticity of the certificate.”

Judging from the crew service book, this is not the first time for this Malaysian captain to come to China. He obviously knew that it would be difficult for Chinese port control officials to verify the authenticity of crew certificates, and he was confident about this.

If you don't respect Chinese laws, you must give him some color.

Han Yu looked up at his old classmate and picked up two more certificates: "Mr. Captain, I not only doubt Mr. Emilio's qualifications, but also the authenticity of the certificates you hold!"

"Mr. Advisor, you cannot have baseless suspicions."

"I'm sorry, I have enough grounds to suspect it."

"What basis?"

"There are fourteen sets of certificates here, eight of which were issued at the same time and have equivalent positions. If you look carefully at the color of the cover of these certificates and the watermark on the certificate page, you can find obvious differences. The holders of these four certificates If you look carefully at the signature, you can see that it was scanned and printed. Moreover, the handwriting of the issuing official is not smooth and there are many pauses in the writing, which is completely different from these books."

Han Yu picked up the two certificates and continued while demonstrating: "The anti-counterfeiting reflective effect is also obviously different, and even the anti-counterfeiting pinholes are uneven. Look, there are obvious scanning marks on the binding line of the middle page. It is even more difficult to find. Believe it or not, the two certificates are not the same size."

As a shipping agent, you must know English, otherwise you will not be able to communicate with the ship owner and crew.

Tang Wentao heard it clearly. He couldn't believe that Xianyu's English was so good, and he couldn't believe that the captain used a false certificate.

The Malaysian captain was not very guilty. He looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Mr. Consultant, I swear that these certificates are genuine. You cannot use your country's standards to judge the authenticity of these certificates."

"Mr. Captain, please believe that we can verify the authenticity of these certificates, and please abide by international conventions, especially respect our country's laws!"

"I have a lot of respect."

"Then please tell me truthfully where these certificates come from and what is your real position."

"The authenticity of the certificate is unquestionable. I am the captain and this is my ship. This is also undisputed!"

"Well, we will contact the issuing authority, we will contact the officials who issued these certificates, and I believe they will give us a satisfactory answer."

"Then you have to hurry, my ship will set sail in eight hours."

"We will work hard, but before that we need to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the deck and engine departments."

"Mr. Consultant, Mr. Prosecutor..."

"Don't say so much. You are obliged to cooperate with the inspection."

Han Yu handed all the certificates to the accompanying staff, stood up and walked out of the captain's room, leading everyone to start checking one by one.

What happened next left Tang Wentao stunned.

Wherever the old classmate went to inspect, there were almost no defects that did not exist. The harbor supervisory law enforcement officers who boarded the ship together for inspection could not record it.

"A section at the lower end of the pilot ladder is damaged and has a pull rope attached, which does not meet IMO requirements and seriously endangers the pilot's safety. Yang Ke, don't forget to take pictures."

"Shoot now."

“The life raft is not marked according to the convention, the boat lacks a magnetic compass, and there is no boat name or call sign. There is no mark on the automatic release point of the boat handle, the font of the description of the raft release device is not clear, the hook of the boat is not flexible, and the release gear is not reliable. .”

Several defects were found in the lifeboat alone, and the captain was dumbfounded.

Han Yu looked back, walked into the living area, and stretched out his hand to pull the hatch: "The self-closing device of the hatch in the deck living area is damaged, and the watertight door is not closed tightly..."

Say it once in English and repeat it in Mandarin.

The staff who boarded the ship for inspection did not speak English very well and would not know how to record it if they did not repeat it.

One inspection after another was carried out, and each defect found was more serious than the last.

The seawater cooling casing of the exhaust pipe of the main engine was leaking, and a plastic bucket was used to collect the water. The engine room looked like a water curtain hole.

Han Yu said coldly in English: "Mr. Captain, this is a major safety hazard. It will cause a large amount of water to enter the engine room, causing the ship to lose its stability. It will cause the mechanical and electrical equipment to malfunction, and the ship will be at risk of losing control!"

The Malaysian captain shrugged, speechless.

After inspecting the oil tank, I was surprised to find that the daily oil tank was swollen and deformed. Such defects are rare. Under normal circumstances, major defects in oil tanks usually manifest as a stuck quick-closing valve.

Oil is one of the three elements of engine room fire. The expansion and deformation of the oil tank will cause the risk of oil tank rupture and massive oil leakage!

Record first, take photos first to collect evidence.

The cargo hold was inspected and there was water accumulation on the floor of the cargo hold.

When I went down to inspect it carefully, I found that the crew had used a rag to block the hole in the bottom plate. After removing the rag, the river flowed in like a spring.

The watertightness of the hull and bottom of the ship is the most basic guarantee to prevent water from entering the ship. Holes in the bottom of the ship and water entering will seriously affect the stability of the ship. Even if their crew certificates are genuine, they cannot just be let go.

The inspection lasted from 4:30 p.m. to 7:10 p.m., and 128 defects, large and small, were found!

The Tang Bureau is here, Sister Zhu is here, the leaders of the Port Authority are here, the leaders of the Customs and Border Inspection Station are here, the leaders of the Commodity Inspection Bureau are also here, and even the He Bureau of the Changhang Shipping Branch has heard the news.

"They must be detained, Lao Xu. In accordance with the Convention and the "Code for the Construction of Domestic Navigation Sea-going Ships" and other regulations, they will be given detention notices."

"yes!"

"Secretary Miao, it's not that we are serious, the main reason is that this ship does have major hidden dangers."

Although Secretary Miao is now the deputy mayor, he still likes to be called Secretary Miao.

The Port Authority used to be a department-level unit, on the same level as Binjiang City. The secretary of the Port Authority is the top leader, and the deputy mayor doesn’t know where he is in the ranking. Who can be the leader and wants to be the deputy?

Secretary Miao didn't expect that this ship had so many defects. He also thought that if the ship was stranded for one day, he would have to pay a day's fee to the port authority. He nodded slightly: "Since there are major hidden dangers, we must pay attention to them."

The shipowner is from Hong Kong. God knows whether the shipowner will find someone to intercede. Winning Secretary Miao can help relieve some pressure on the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau.

Director Tang looked back behind him and said, "I have asked the shipping agent to contact the shipowner. I will report to my superiors when I return to the bureau later."

Secretary Miao touched his chin, turned around and said, "Director Huang, arrangements must be made at the dock. They cannot be allowed to leave the port until major hidden dangers are ruled out."

"Okay, I'll notify the dispatch room right away."

"Xianyu is here too. When did you come?"

"Tell Secretary Miao that I will be here at noon."

The young man is very capable. As the son-in-law of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau, he can also take the affairs of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau as his own business.

Tang Ju was very satisfied with Han Yu's performance and introduced with a smile: "Secretary Miao, Xianyu helped us a lot this time. Those defects were all checked out by him and Lao Xu and Lao Yang. He Ju, Xianyu is now not only The police officers in your branch are also the PSC inspection consultants of our security inspection team of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau."

There are so many defects. If one defect is fined 10,000 yuan, wouldn't it mean that the ship can be fined more than 1 million yuan!

Bureau He, who was calculating how much the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau could fine him this time, was stunned and couldn't help but smile: "It's okay to let Xianyu be your consultant, but you can't let Xianyu work in vain, and you have to issue a letter of appointment to pay for the consultant fee. "

Secretary Miao was convinced, turned around and said with a smile: "Soup Bureau, salted fish part-time water pilots all have voyage allowances, and consultants also have consulting fees."

"Don't worry, you two, there must be one."

"Xianyu, you can do some here and some there. Your income is incredible, even higher than mine!"

The leaders started teasing again. Han Yu felt embarrassed and said with a grin: "I have a lot of income outside of salary. I'll treat you later."

Sister Zhu couldn't help laughing and said: "I must invite Secretary Miao. You may not know that Xianyu is a real little rich man. Not only is he personally rich, but the unit he is responsible for is also the richest."

"If you think about it carefully, it's true that when I was at the Yanjiang Police Station, the largest fixed assets of the Linghai Public Security Bureau were the barge and 001. Now that I have been transferred to the Bureau, a new ship will be built soon, with an investment of tens of millions, and it is the last rich."

As soon as Secretary Miao finished speaking, Sister Zhu smiled and said: "He went to the East China Sea to learn sailing. Although running a boat was very hard, he had labor fees and navigation allowances. When others were earning more than a hundred yuan a month as a dead salary, he I earn tens of thousands a year. Now that I have learned my skills, I give lectures, work part-time as a water diversion, and work as a consultant, and I still earn more than others!"

"I can't say it anymore, or I'll get pinkeye."

"I'm jealous of getting so much money."

"Xianyu, do you hear me? You are richer than us secretaries and directors. If you don't treat me, I won't let you work part-time as a water diversion anymore."

"Please, please, I'm afraid that the leaders won't give me the opportunity or the honor."

…

Tang Wentao, who was busy making calls to report to company leaders and contacting ship owners in the corner, was stunned. He couldn't believe that his old classmate was doing so well and knew so many leaders. And it seems that the leaders are very familiar with him and care about him very much.
