On September 9, at the Third Inland Waterway Shipping High-Quality Development Forum held in Chongqing, the “Yangtze River Green Ship Monitoring Information System” and the “Yangtze River Marine Fuel Bunkering Information System” were officially launched. These two major information systems are important components of the Yangtze River Shipping sub-platform of the “National Comprehensive Transportation Information Platform,” marking a critical step for Yangtze River shipping in green and intelligent supervision and services, and will provide solid support for the green, low-carbon, and intelligent transformation of Yangtze River shipping.
The “Yangtze River Green Ship Monitoring Information System” focuses on the operational status monitoring, safety risk prevention and control, and optimization of supporting services for new energy and clean energy ships. By collecting and intelligently analyzing basic ship data, dynamic and static information, the system achieves “one-stop” online monitoring and information-based supervision of green ships in the Yangtze River basin, providing multi-dimensional support for transportation authorities, maritime management agencies, system integrators, and ship owners, thereby aiding the safe, efficient operation and precise maintenance of ships.
The “Yangtze River Marine Fuel Bunkering Information System” covers comprehensive supervision and services for various energy bunkering businesses, including marine fuel oil, LNG, electricity, and methanol. The system uses information technology to optimize the layout of bunkering stations, enhance the convenience of energy supply and service quality, and provide a data foundation for carbon emission monitoring. Bunkering enterprises can publish service information and receive orders through the “Changjiang e+” platform, while ship users can conveniently book services and provide evaluations, comprehensively optimizing the energy supply experience.
Currently, over 300 green ships and more than 100 bunkering facilities in the Yangtze River water system have been included in the system’s basic information database, with 24 green ships and 14 bunkering facilities serving as demonstration applications. In the next step, relevant units will conduct data verification and system trial operations according to their responsibilities to promote the continuous improvement of the systems.
The completion and operation of these two major information systems are crucial for achieving dynamic whole-process supervision and service assurance in Yangtze River shipping. They not only promote the green and intelligent development of inland waterway shipping but also inject new momentum into building a green, low-carbon transportation powerhouse and serving the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
