At 8:30 on the 22nd, through the close collaboration of multiple forces and efficient operations, the danger was effectively controlled, and now confirmed that the two ships involved in the incident no casualties, and no pollution of the waters. At the same time, all the three containers in the water have been safely lifted back to the pier, and the order of the waterway and the operation of the pier returned to normal. This emergency operation demonstrated the rapid response and efficient coordination capability of Guangzhou Maritime Safety Department in the face of emergencies.
Guangzhou Maritime Safety Department reminds that: strong convective weather has occurred frequently recently, when berthing and de-berthing, the weather information should be combined as much as possible, choose the right time to start the berthing operation when the wind and current conditions are suitable, and leave enough power margin for the ship to better resist the influence of the wind and current. In case of emergency, please call ‘12395’ in time.
