Chapter 808: Chapter 550: Fined Every Company in the Developnt Zone!
With six new law enforcent boats joining the ranks and the Provincial Fishery Administration’s five-hundred-ton-level fishery administration ship being put into practical operation, coupled with the existing law enforcent vessels of the Fishery Administration, Port Supervision, and Customs, the water law enforcent capabilities of the Yangtze River waterfront section have been strengthened, with an average deploynt of one law enforcent ship every twenty kiloters.
But people are not machines; they can’t go without rest for twenty-four hours.
Those engaged in illegal eel fry fishing have beco increasingly difficult to deal with after ten years of "battling wits and courage" with law enforcent agencies. They no longer cast their nets in ports, docks, and gateways near the waterways, but choose remote waters instead.
They hide during the day and co out at night, competing with you in resilience.
After casting their nets, they not only steer their boats into secluded Cha Ports to hide but may even take iron dinghies five or six kiloters upstream or downstream to keep watch.
Nowadays, not only is transportation becoming more developed, but communication is also becoming more advanced. They use cell phones and pagers to notify their accomplices to quickly retract their nets and evade when they spot a law enforcent boat coming, making it increasingly challenging to crack down on them.
However, strengthening patrols is not without effect; at least it has ensured the smooth flow of the waterway. From the start of the eel fry migration to the near end of the "Eel Catching Battles," water transportation in the Yangtze River waterfront section has been basically unaffected.
Possibly due to the strict managent on the river, making it difficult to escape once discovered, many eel-catching boats have gone to the estuary to cast nets and fish, repeatedly crossing the waterway, putting great pressure on the East Sea area.
According to the East Sea District Fishery Bureau’s report, several ten-thousand-ton cargo ships encountered mariti traffic accidents due to avoiding eel-catching boats while entering and exiting the Yangtze River and Huangpu River’s south and north channels. Various ergencies caused by eel-catching ships occurred one after another.
It is said that a foreign ship was even surrounded by eel-catching boats and a dense array of set nets while waiting at the anchorage to enter the East Sea Port, so much so that even the tugboat couldn’t get close.
The law enforcent boats of the various units in the East Sea are almost all outside conducting law enforcent patrols. For a ti, distant water was unable to quench the near thirst, and the East Sea Port could only seek help from the East Sea Water Police Bureau, asking them to arrange for police to board a tugboat and head to the ship anchorage for "rescue."
Xiao Yu packed up the dirty clothes he changed over the past few days and jumped off the "Yangtze Police 110" onto the dunship, puzzled, asking: "Salted Fish, what’s going on in East Sea? They have so much money, their law enforcent boats should be more than ours in Binjiang, why can’t they even ensure smooth navigation?"
"The total number of boats of the water law enforcent units in East Sea is indeed more than ours in Binjiang, but the area they have to oversee is also larger than ours. They not only have to manage the river but also the sea, and there are also people fishing eel fry at sea."
Han Yu turned back to point at the river’s surface and added, "Our Binjiang waters are long, more than two hundred kiloters east to west, but we only need to manage one line. As long as the law enforcent boats of the units participating in joint law enforcent patrol back and forth in the designated waters, we can basically ensure smooth navigation. It’s not the sa for them. They not only have to manage the line but also the surface."
Thinking back to the ti two years ago when he went to sea with Salted Fish to catch smuggling, Xiao Yu realized and couldn’t help but sigh: "The sea is too vast; it’s indeed hard to manage."
"Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about you."
"What’s up with ?"
"Why did you co up here with ? You are now the deputy team leader of the Linghai Water Police Patrol Team, and your patrol team’s base is at Bailong Port. The mission has already ended, so why don’t you take the 110 back instead of staying here?"
Before Xiao Yu could speak, Xiao Gong, who had just jumped onto the dunship, chuckled and said, "Secretary Yu, both Captain Yu and I are police officers of the Water Patrol Team, and we are also officers of the Linghai Reserve Regint. We ca to see how the camp area is being built."
Bailong Port has now truly beco a village; what achievent can one have if they always nest in Bailong Port?
Director Liu was right, if you want to achieve sothing in the Linghai section of the Yangtze River, you have to co to Sanhe!
Chen Zikun and Sister Han Ning felt embarrassed to co; what’s there for
to feel embarrassed about? This dunship is not just yours; it’s also mine. I grew up on this dunship, so why can’t I co back ho?
Xiao Yu decided to linger here and not leave, saying with a smile: "Yes, I am the deputy company commander of the Second Company. Having finally finished the Eel Catching Battles, of course, I should first go and see the troops."
"Yu Zhen is waiting for you at ho; don’t you miss Yu Zhen and Croc?"
"Yu Zhen is even busier than I am; she can’t possibly be at ho waiting for . As for Croc, I miss him quite a bit. I’ll visit the camp area first, and then go back with you later."
"What about the 110?"
"Just leave it here; it saves having to move it around."
Seeing Old Jin coming down from the command and dispatch room, Xiao Yu pointed to the cabin next to the police duty room and asked, "Uncle Jin, this was my dorm, can you let the people living inside move out and return the dorm to ."
That cabin was indeed his dorm, and he had lived there for many years.
Old Jin didn’t expect him to want to move back in and laughed: "Water Administration wants to borrow this room as an office and dorm; Salted Fish has already agreed with Yang Yuan."
"Why are they running here to work instead of at the urban area?"
"Water Administration has law enforcent boats but no dock, so when they dock 010 at your Changhang Bureau wharf, they have to assist with maintaining water security, which the Water Police Bureau definitely won’t be happy about. If they dock 010 at the small wharf of the Water Police Bureau, your bureau leaders won’t be pleased either, so Yang Yuan simply docked 010 with us to avoid offending anyone."
"Our Director Qi and Director Liu wouldn’t be as small-minded as Director Wang."
Xiao Yu muttered and then asked: "What about the eastern room, is anyone living there?"
Director Jin poked his head to look: "The room your grandfather used to live in is now Captain Wu’s dorm. But Captain Wu is about to move to the Port Supervision Departnt, and once he moves out, you can live there."
"Wasn’t the Port Supervision office building renovated a while back? Why hasn’t Captain Wu moved yet?"
"The newly renovated house slls of paint; rushing to move in is bad for health."
"So ticulous."
...
Han Yu realized that his good friend had co to "assert his dominance." Now that he has a family and kids, he can’t stay on the dunship every day like before; he just needs a temporary dormitory.
But then again, the dunship really is his ho.
No exaggeration, he grew up on the dunship, spending more ti studying, working, and living on it than anywhere else. This dunship holds countless unforgettable mories for him.
Han Yu smiled, thinking about taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, then checking on the construction progress of the camp, and later going to the Port Supervision Departnt to ask Sis Ningning if she’s going back to Bailong Port or the city tonight. Old Jin suddenly said, "Salted Fish, Zhang Asheng and their company’s engineer went to Hanwu."
"What are they doing in Hanwu?"
"They’re at the Hanwu Channel Shipyard for the sea trial of the tug-and-disappearance dual-purpose ship."
"The tugboat is built!"
"It was said before that it would take three or four years to build because the Changhang Bureau didn’t have much money. Now the tug is owned by Linghai Port, and Linghai Port isn’t short on cash. As long as the funds are in place, construction is fast."
Han Yu wasn’t just involved in the entire process from design to bidding for that tug-and-disappearance dual-purpose ship, he put a lot of effort into it.
Upon hearing what Old Jin said, he eagerly asked, "Do you know when it can be delivered?"
"We have to wait until all the tests are completed. Otherwise, we can’t get the certificate. It will take at least a month and a half at the earliest." Old Jin took a sip of water from his large teacup, smiled, and added, "Once all the tests are nearly done, Zhang Asheng will have the recruited captain and the crew, who’ve been trained by their company for more than half a year, to bring the ship back."
There’s a shipping managent company in the developnt zone, it can save a lot of trouble.
For instance, such a big deal as the sea trial of the tug-and-disappearance dual-purpose ship for Linghai Port, if it weren’t for Zhang Asheng’s help, Deputy Mayor Shen and the President Qian of Linghai Port Co., Ltd would surely have asked him to go.
Of course, Zhang Asheng wouldn’t help for free. To him, this is business, and Linghai Port has to pay.
Han Yu was thinking that once the tug-and-disappearance dual-purpose ship cos back, he can "enlist" the entire Linghai Port Tug Team. Old Jin hesitated a bit and then said, "Before Zhang Asheng went to Hanwu, he got a fine from Ningning. I heard that Mayor Shen wasn’t very happy, but as such a big leader, he was too embarrassed to talk to Ningning. Tang Wentai ca several tis to intercede."
"What happened with Zhang Asheng, and why did Ningning fine him?"
"It’s still about that cargo ship where the captain and the third officer had a fight. Most of the crew were involved in selling oil illegally, so the shipowner naturally wouldn’t use them again. It’s easy to find engine room sailors, but not easy to find a captain right away. When Zhang Asheng ran into him while handling the matter, he knew the shipowner couldn’t wait, so he helped by arranging a captain and a few crew mbers."
"Did the personnel Zhang Asheng arranged lack certificates, or were their certificates not eting the requirents?"
"Neither."
Han Yu pursued, "Then what was the problem?"
Old Jin took out a cigarette, lit it, and explained with a smile, "He couldn’t find a captain in a short ti, so he let their company’s chief engineer board the ship."
Xiao Yu, having assisted in Port Supervision enforcent longer than Han Yu and not being entirely unfamiliar with shipping, couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t a shipping managent company’s chief engineer equivalent to a captain, and an experienced old captain at that? Why can’t he board the ship, and why did Sister Ningning fine him?"
"If that captain weren’t a chief engineer, he wouldn’t have any issues boarding. The problem is he’s a chief engineer; his duty is to manage all the captains, chief officers, second officers, third officers, and deck crew of the company’s fleet. If he leaves his main job to be a captain for others, it directly affects crew managent of the company’s vessels, and it impacts navigation safety."
"Chief engineers must stay at the company and not sail?"
"They can’t!"
"But the ocean transport company Zhang Asheng registered last year seems to only have one second-hand bulk carrier built in Japan."
Han Yu finally figured out the whole story and laughed, saying, "Regardless of how many ships that ocean transport company has under it, the chief engineer cannot act as a captain."
Sister Ningning is indeed a fine master, fining even companies in the developnt zone.
Xiao Yu was quite impressed and asked with a smile, "Uncle Jin, how much did Sister Ningning fine Zhang Asheng’s company?"
"Two thousand."
"Only two thousand? The monthly wage for a chief engineer becoming a captain is more than two thousand; actually, Zhang Asheng still profited."
"What profit? After that ship was punished and had a new crew replace the old one, Ningning boarded before their departure. She discovered that the chief engineer from Zhang Asheng’s company beca the captain, so she fined Zhang Asheng’s company and ordered the chief engineer to disembark imdiately or wait to perform captain duties until after a new chief engineer is found by Zhang Asheng’s company."
"So in the end, the chief engineer from Zhang Asheng’s company couldn’t beco the captain?"
"Captains are hard to find, and chief engineers are even harder to find. Zhang Asheng had no choice but to have the chief engineer return to the company. As for that ship’s new captain, the shipowner later spent a lot of money to hire one from a shipping company."
