On July 13, reporters learned from the Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration that to implement higher-level integrated maritime supervision and service support requirements, and to comprehensively strengthen coordinated pollution prevention and control for ships during sensitive periods and major events, the maritime safety administrations of Tianjin, Liaoning, Hebei, and Shandong jointly held an online centralized briefing and mobilization meeting. The meeting aimed to promote and interpret the full implementation of the “Special Action Plan for Pollution Prevention and Control of Ships and Related Operations in the Bohai Rim Region by 2025” and to mobilize and deploy related efforts.
Earlier, the four directly subordinate maritime administrations in the Bohai Rim region jointly issued the “Special Action Plan for Pollution Prevention and Control of Ships and Related Operations in the Bohai Rim Region by 2025.” Maritime management agencies at all levels in the four Bohai Rim regions simultaneously launched special actions to prevent and control pollution from ships and related operations.
The special action focuses on standardizing ship-related operations in the Bohai Rim region, such as tank cleaning, bunkering, oil supply and reception, pollution cleanup, ship pollutant reception, shore power usage by ships, and energy consumption data reporting. It aims to prevent and mitigate pollution risks from ship-related operations, deepen regional coordination, information sharing, and collaborative governance, and shift the ship pollution control model toward proactive prevention. Additionally, it seeks to achieve coordinated sharing of ship pollution prevention information, collaborative closed-loop defect correction, joint pollution response, coordinated pollution risk management, and unified deployment of cleanup resources across the Bohai Rim region.
In the next step, the four directly subordinate maritime administrations in the Bohai Rim region will work in unison, leveraging their complementary strengths and coordinating efforts to comprehensively enhance joint pollution prevention and control for ships in the region. They will continue to deepen the sharing and co-governance of water traffic safety information, contributing to the development of higher-level integrated maritime supervision and service support. This effort will also support the accelerated construction of a strong transportation nation and the comprehensive development of a beautiful China.
