Riverside police

By the time Han Yuhuo rushed to the river in a hurry, the senior sister, Lao Jiang and others had already controlled the situation on the freighter.

The captain, second mate, third mate and one sailor were seriously injured. Lao Jiang and two auxiliary police officers had already transported the four people ashore.

Judging from what Lao Jiang knew, the captain and the third officer belonged to the same "trench", and the second officer and the sailor were in the same group. After they landed, the two sides were still yelling and swearing. If the police hadn't been there, they might have fought again.

Considering safety, Han Yu decided to divide his troops into two groups.

Let Lao Jiang lead two joint defense team members to send the captain and third mate to Sanhe Health Center, and ask Guo Weitao to go ashore and take two assisting policemen to take the second mate and sailor to Tianbu Health Center, so as to avoid another fight between the two groups in the hospital.

Han Yu himself boarded the freighter in Supervision 39 and asked the first mate, Lao Gui, Shuitou and other crew members to learn about the situation.

Han Xiangning was also not idle, as half of the senior crew members on the freighter were involved in the fight. Not to mention those few people who were injured, even if they were not injured, such a team was not suitable to continue sailing, and the decision to stay was immediately made.

She asked the first mate to contact the shipowner quickly and ask the shipowner to arrange for a new team to come over for rotation, and then inspected the cargo ship with Lao Jin.

The freighter's management team is fighting among themselves, and one can imagine that the ship's maintenance situation is not much better.

You wouldn't know if you didn't check, but a lot of problems were found during the inspection, and my hand was numb when I wrote the ticket.

Han Yu wanted to question the crew, including the first mate, and took dozens of notes. His wrists still hurt. After he figured out the general situation and returned to the pontoon, it was already dark. Lao Jiang, Guo Weitao and others also came from two places one after another. The health center is back.

"Let's summarize the situation, Lao Jiang, you come first."

"OK."

Lao Jiang opened his briefcase, took out the transcript taken at Sanhe Health Center, and said with a smile: "The captain said that although the second mate has a first mate's certificate, as long as he is not the first mate, he will always be the second mate, and there will be no salary or other benefits. The first mate is so tall.

In July last year, when the former first mate was off the ship for vacation, the second mate wanted to be promoted to first mate, so he approached him privately and asked him to help recommend him to the company. He believed that the second mate was not qualified for the position of first mate, so he did not recommend him. The second mate held a grudge against him and used the opportunity of quitting the crew to encourage the crew to cause trouble and even fight. "

The food expenses for cargo ship crew members are relatively high, especially those on foreign trade ships.

Under normal circumstances, the food money cannot be eaten, so the remaining food money will be distributed to the crew at regular intervals.

Regarding the use and management of food expenses, each ship has established a food committee, referred to as the "Meal Committee" in accordance with regulations. As for the members of the gang committee, the chairman of the gang committee on some ships is served by the serving chief mate, and on some ships the captain serves directly.

The crew chief of this freighter is the captain, and the chef is supposed to listen to the captain. Every time he makes a purchase at the port, the chef hands the list of purchases to the captain, and the captain contacts the suppliers to deliver the supplies to the ship, and communicates with the captain. Supplier performs settlement.

Han Yu asked several crew members, including the chef, and also looked at the menus on the ship for the past two months. He raised his head and said: "The shipowner provides a lot of food expenses, but the food on the ship is very average, and the people who quit the ship are not very good." Not much, the captain should have made a lot of money."

"Secretary Yu, are these under our control?"

"No, but they beat us badly. We have to find out why they fought."

Han Yu looked back at the senior student who was sitting at the end of the conference table like a leader and emphasized: "The ship is a small closed society. Whether the relationship between the crew members is harmonious is directly related to the safety of navigation. For example, they are on the ship today. There was a big fight. This was sailing on the Yangtze River. What if we were at sea? It is no exaggeration to say that people might die because of a trivial matter!"

Han Xiangning was convinced. He held his chin and said, "So I applied to my superiors to make a decision to detain the ship, and officially notified them that the company would arrange for the captain, second mate, third mate and sailors to take over."

Han Yu nodded, turned around and said, "Captain Guo, let's board the ship again later and find the chef to find out how the food money is being used."

"yes."

Guo Weitao responded, looked at the transcript and smiled: "But judging from the situation reported by the second mate and the sailor, it was not a day to freeze three feet. There were many other reasons why they fought."

"Tell me, what's the reason?"

"The second mate said that the captain was not only unscrupulous, but also very irresponsible, or very incompetent. For example, if the crew wanted to be promoted, he had to give him money, otherwise he would not recommend it to the company. The sailor who did it today actually has a third mate certificate , but I never had the chance to be promoted to third officer, so I had to be a sailor first."

Guo Weitao looked at the transcript and continued: "In October last year, the previous third mate went on shore leave. The sailor had the opportunity to be promoted to third mate. Because he did not give the captain money, the captain did not recommend him, so the company arranged for the current third mate Get on board.”

The ship is a small society, and some things that happen in society can also happen on the ship. It can be said that this kind of thing is not surprising.

Han Yu sighed secretly and asked: "What does irresponsibility mainly refer to?"

"The captain likes flatterers. Now this third mate is a flatterer and is regarded as a confidant by the captain. The third mate does not take his job seriously. He organizes the sailors in the deck department not to work hard when they are repairing rust and paint. Together with Shuitou, he leads the sailors to smoke and chat. A grinder."

Guo Weitao took a sip of water and added: "The second officer said that one night, he went to the bridge half an hour early to take over the shift. You can't turn on the lights in the navigation bridge at night, otherwise it will affect your vision. He didn't pay attention at first, but when he got used to the darkness It was only then that I discovered that the third officer was actually sitting on a high chair reserved for the captain and pilot, and was sleeping on the bridge."

Han Xiangning immediately frowned slightly.

Chiang Kai-shek was also shocked and couldn't help but ask: "The third officer fell asleep while on duty at night, who drove the ship?"

"Autopilot." Han Yu also realized that the team on this ship had a lot of problems, and explained: "Large ships can plan routes and sail automatically. This technology has been around since World War II, but it can only follow routes. In autonomous navigation, if a ship comes from the opposite side, the current autonomous driving technology cannot automatically avoid it."

Lao Jiang asked in surprise: "So the third officer's behavior is very dangerous!"

"Very dangerous and irresponsible!"

Han Yu nodded, turned around and motioned for Guo Weitao to continue.

Guo Weitao looked at the transcript and continued: "The second officer discovered the problem and immediately called the captain and asked him to go to the bridge. The captain understood the situation and said a few words to the third officer because they had a good relationship in private and did not impose any punishment. The third officer didn’t even report it to the company, so the matter just went away.”

As the director of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau, Han Xiangning knew better than anyone how serious this problem was. He raised his head and said, "This situation is very important. Captain Guo, you will accompany me to the hospital tomorrow. I must investigate this matter clearly."

"OK."

Guo Weitao smiled and continued to report what he had learned at Tianbu Health Center in the afternoon.

You don’t know if you don’t listen. After listening to it, Han Yu was completely convinced.

If everything the second mate said was true, the ship was a mess.

The captain embezzled the crew's meal expenses and accepted bribes, which was irresponsible.

The first mate is timid and does whatever the captain says.

The second mate seems to be upright and upright, but when something happens, the first thing he thinks of is not to stop him and protect the interests of the company, but to form a clique and quietly collect "evidence" from the captain, first mate, third mate and others. , and even bought a small tape recorder and asked the bribery crew member to secretly record the captain's conversation when collecting money.

The third mate is not qualified to take bribes, but he is no better. Not only does he always flatter the captain, he is also not responsible for his work...

In short, everyone is thinking about themselves.

Those who have the opportunity to reap the benefits reap the benefits, while those who have no opportunity or qualifications to reap the benefits are cheating and cheating. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as having their own agendas.

The ship's atmosphere was so bad that Han Yu was thinking about how the shipping company was managed when Lao Jiang suddenly said: "As for the work on the ship, the captain also mentioned it when I asked."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "What did the captain say?"

"The captain said that this ship is affiliated to a state-owned shipping company, and the real boss is a private owner. He may know that the Han Department will check and find many problems. He said that it is not that he is an incompetent captain, but that the ship owner is not easy to serve. .”

"Why is the shipowner so hard to take care of?"

"He was the first mate on this ship before. The previous captain was very responsible and maintained the ship very well. But this increased costs, such as repairing rust and painting. Not only did he have to purchase paint, but he also had to pay labor fees to the sailors. The shipowner was dissatisfied and fired the previous captain. That’s how he became the captain and learned from his predecessor’s lesson. He did as much as he could and didn’t dare to let the shipowner spend more money.”

They only know how to make money but not how to maintain the ship. No wonder the atmosphere on the ship is so bad. It turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Although the ship belongs to the owner, how it is managed directly affects navigation safety.

The more Han Yu thought about it, the more angry he became. He turned around and said, "Ning Ning, if you encounter such a shipowner, your port supervisor will strictly inspect him and punish him if he deserves it, and he will be punished heavily. You can't be polite to him!"

Han Xiangning was a professional in doing this, and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will ask the security inspector to come over tomorrow to check carefully, both inside and outside. We must teach the ship owner a lesson so that the ship owner can remember it."

After staying on the barge for so long, Lao Jiang knew very well that the scale of Hong Kong Supervision's law enforcement can be large or small. Sometimes it is really different and double standards.

For example, inland river cargo ships are not inspected as strictly as seagoing vessels.

Another example is that inspections of domestic trade ships sailing offshore are not as strict as those of foreign ships.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

Most of the domestic ships are old, and even the newly built ships are actually inferior to the regulations and standards of ships in Western developed countries. If strict PSC inspections were carried out like port inspectors in Western developed countries, few large ships and small boats sailing on the river would meet the standards.

China is negotiating to join the WTO and must integrate with international standards.

It is said that on some issues, it will not be the same as others after joining. It needs to be left for a period of time for transition so that domestic companies can catch up. The same is true for the supervision of water transportation by the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority.

But Guo Weitao was not thinking about how the "proprietress" would punish the boat severely next, but asked: "Secretary Yu, how should we investigate and deal with these four people who were fighting?"

"From the quarrel to pushing each other, and then to a fight, it is not clear who started the fight. It can only be regarded as a fight. But they fought each other on the ship and while sailing. It was a direct fight. If it affects navigation safety, we must take strict measures.”

"How to be strict?"

"They are all injured. Judging from the severity of their injuries, they are not serious enough to be held criminally responsible. Didn't the hospital say they will be under observation overnight? When they are discharged from the hospital tomorrow, we will apply for them first according to the Public Security Management Punishment Regulations and our Jiangnan Province's Water Security Management Measures. Put them under administrative detention for a few days so that they can remember it for a long time."

"Yes, I will prepare the application materials right now."

As soon as Guo Weitao finished speaking, Han Xiangning smiled and said: "Long memory is of little significance to them."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"

"This is just a punishment from you police officers. Our port supervisor hasn't punished you yet. You are also a crew member. Do you think people like them can still be captains, second mates, and third mates?"

"I almost forgot that you are in charge of both ships and people."

Han Yu reacted, turned around and said: "Captain Guo, you will assist Xiang Ning in investigating and collecting evidence tomorrow, and find out the messy things these people did on the ship, especially their violations of maritime and water traffic safety, and see if you can Revoke their certificates so they can never escape the ship!”

"Secretary Yu, is this too cruel?"

"If we are soft on them now, we are not responsible for the crew members who may work under them in the future and the crew members of other ships sailing on the sea and the Yangtze River. If we let people like them drive ships, sooner or later a traffic accident will occur. Once a traffic accident occurs , that will cost lives!"
