Ningbo Maritime builds a solid safety defense line for over 1,000 port-registered ships.

On July 10, affected by the typhoon, over 1,000 Ningbo-registered vessels distributed across the Taiwan Strait and the coastal waters of Fujian and Zhejiang faced severe challenges in maritime wind prevention. To fully safeguard maritime navigation safety, the Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration coordinated the construction of a dual protection system combining source risk prediction and onshore full-time monitoring, reinforcing the primary responsibility of shipping companies for safe production, and comprehensively weaving a safety net for typhoon defense at sea.

After the typhoon defense work was initiated, the Ningbo maritime authorities promptly issued typhoon safety reminders to 220 key shipping companies in the jurisdiction, specifying standardized requirements for typhoon defense work across six dimensions, including 24-hour duty monitoring, reasonable scheduling of ship voyages, and self-inspection and correction of critical ship equipment. Maritime law enforcement personnel conducted comprehensive dynamic reviews of all Ningbo-registered vessels, performing safety assessments based on the typhoon's impact range, the wind resistance rating of vessels, and cargo transportation risks. They identified small vessels with weaker wind resistance, non-powered water construction vessels, hazardous cargo transport ships, and vessels transporting easily liquefied cargo as key control targets, urging shipping companies to develop exclusive wind avoidance plans for each high-risk vessel, proactively identifying and resolving various maritime safety hazards, and fortifying the first line of defense against preemptive risks.

Beyond source prevention, maritime authorities simultaneously established an onshore dynamic closed-loop regulatory barrier, relying on shipping companies' 24-hour onshore duty rooms to achieve real-time tracking of vessel dynamics, instant typhoon warning notifications, and rapid emergency dispatch for maritime incidents. For key shipping companies in the jurisdiction, the bureau adopted a supervisory model combining online video inspections and offline on-site spot checks, completing online verification for 128 companies and on-site inspections for 25 companies.
