Since the maritime authority initiated a large-scale "anti-collision and leakage prevention" campaign, significant progress has been made in improving safety across key waterways, vessels, facilities, and personnel in the Tianjin area over the past two months. The current phase focuses on rectification efforts aimed at eliminating hidden risks and enhancing the overall navigation environment.
During the self-inspection process, 12 inspection teams were deployed to visit shipping companies, agency firms, and port operations. A total of 1 ship lock, 1 lighthouse, 7 coastal bridges, 1 bridge under construction, 34 inland bridges, 6 FPSOs, 13 chemical berths, 34 large berths capable of accommodating 50,000-ton vessels, 47 offshore oil platforms, and 107 navigational aids in Tianjin Port were inspected. A total of 88 safety hazards were identified during these inspections.
In addition, 19 liquid cargo terminals, 41 packing stations, 14 ship residual oil receiving units, and 25 ships involved in fuel oil operations were also reviewed for potential leaks. A total of 118 issues were discovered, leading to the suspension of 26 packing units and the cancellation of qualifications for five oil-receiving units and 14 fuel-operating units. Ship inspections revealed 822 defects, with 239 illegal sand-carrying vessels removed from the water, 4 illegal unloading docks closed, and 22 inland river transport vessels investigated. Additionally, 133 ship-owning companies, including Zhongsan and Zhonghai, uncovered 155 problems and identified 1,083 hidden dangers related to navigation safety and pollution control equipment.
Inspections also highlighted several critical issues, such as frequent accidents in certain waters, particularly in the port channel and the north branch channel, where stranded vessels often cause emergencies. The ship locks and Haimen Bridge have also seen repeated incidents. Furthermore, the anchorage capacity at Tianjin Port is insufficient, and over 200 inland river sand transport and construction vessels are currently operating in the area, posing serious safety risks.
To address these concerns, maritime authorities will implement targeted rectification measures, focusing on high-risk areas like the port waters, the north branch channel, and the ship locks. Efforts will include addressing habitual crew violations, outdated vessel machinery, and improper operations by inland river vessels and construction ships. Additional actions will involve enhanced patrols of inland river boats, safety inspections of new ships, crew competency reviews, anti-pollution campaigns, and more rigorous enforcement of safety standards.
