Haixun 49 set off from Sheshan Island. After sailing for 9 hours at sea, the sea surface suddenly became rough and the waves tilted more than 15 degrees!

Han Yu worked hard and directed Wu Haili and others to adjust the course in time according to the changes in the surge.

Although Wu Haili had extensive sailing experience before he was transferred to the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau, he was driving a seagoing ship of more than 5,000 tons at that time. The Haixun 49 is only 500 tons, and its ability to withstand wind and waves is not as good as that of large-tonnage cargo ships. It is difficult to drive in harsh sea conditions.

The experience is similar to that of China Customs Boat 825.

Haixun 49 is sailing alone on the deep blue ocean. Thick clouds accumulate in the sky. The sun cannot penetrate the huge shadow, making the sea look cold and gloomy. The waves are rolling constantly, as if countless hands are pushing the boat.

The body seems to be urging and warning.

The wind is howling like an angry beast roaring.

The strong wind tore at the ship violently, causing the ship's hull to bump in the waves. The waves were getting higher and higher, as if they were about to engulf the ship.

"Left rudder ten!" Han Yu had experienced storms bigger than this. Facing the strong wind and huge waves, Han Yu remained calm and continued to give orders while holding on to the bridge.

Wu Haili personally took the helm and returned: "Ten rudder left."

"Right rudder."

"The rudder is straight!"

A huge wave hit, and the glass of the bridge was covered with sea water. Only the bow of the ship could be seen vaguely through the high-speed rotating Kent window. The ship was swaying in the wind and waves, as if it would be overturned at any time.

Guan Kenan and others were not as calm as Han Yu and Wu Haili. Some of them had eyes full of fear and uneasiness. They clung to the armrests of the cabin and prayed silently. Some stared at the strong wind and waves with livid faces, trying to find a trace of hope in them.

calm.

This sudden storm seems to be endless. Every bump and every swing seems to challenge the limits of Haixun 49.

Encountering some storms, Han Yu thought it was not a bad thing.

After all, the twenty-one cadres and workers on the ship will be in charge of this sea area from now on. How can they go to sea in the future and how can they patrol and enforce the law in the coastal waters without experiencing some strong winds and waves?

However, the storm is not endless.

Just when Guan Kenan was suffering from nausea and vomiting, Haixun 49 successfully sailed away from the wave area.

The sea returned to calm, the sun appeared again, and the sunlight shone on the sea, as if it was an end to this thrilling journey. The crew members all breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, their eyes full of joy and achievement.

feel.

For them, it was a "test of life and death", but they did not flinch or give up, but chose to face it bravely. Now, they can continue their journey with peace of mind.

Han Yu was very pleased and couldn't help but smile: "Old Wu, hurry up and check the equipment. It's best to clean it up."

"yes!"

Wu Haili always thought that his crew could withstand the test of strong winds and waves. As a result, the performance of Guan Kenan and others just now made him extremely disappointed. He said unhappily: "What are you still doing? Everyone who can stand, stand up. Let's move the bridge first."

Clean up."

Han Yu did not leave the bridge. He looked at the electronic chart on the monitor and said with emotion: "Waikengjiao is at 3 o'clock, about three nautical miles away from here. The surrounding sea environment is harsh. It is difficult to build permanent facilities near here.

You can imagine how big it is.”

Wu Haili adjusted the course, handed the helm to the helmsman, walked over and asked: "Which unit built the permanent facilities at the territorial sea base point?"

"This is both a diplomatic project and a national defense project. It was invested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and planned and implemented by the East China Sea Fleet Aviation Insurance Office. However, the East China Sea Fleet is mainly responsible for surveying, and the specific construction seems to be in charge of Taitung City. After all, Taitung is close to here."

"Han Bureau, how far is Waiqiao from the coastline?" Guan Kenan asked curiously.

Han Yu picked up a ruler and measured it, and said: "The coastline is not a straight line. According to the chart, it is 35 nautical miles away from the nearest artificial island and 61 nautical miles away from the farthest coastline. After conversion, the average distance from the nearby coastline is more than 80 kilometers.

"

Wu Haili knew very well the significance of this distance. He stared at the chart and sighed: "It is said that when the tide is low, the water outside may not be exposed to the sea. Building permanent facilities on the water outside may seem like a waste of time and money, but in fact it is of great significance. This is

It is equivalent to moving our territorial waters as a whole 60 nautical miles eastward, and the same is true for our exclusive economic zone!"

"What does it mean to move east? This has been our territorial waters since ancient times."

Han Yu smiled and raised his head to remind: "Overcoming difficulties, there is a sandbar island outside Kengjiao. Don't sail too fast and pay attention to the water depth to prevent stranding."

"yes!"

After sailing cautiously for about half an hour, three fishing boats and a fishery administration boat of about 200 tons appeared in front of us. The crew members, who had just recovered from the strong wind and waves, ran to the side of the ship and waved desperately to the fishing boats and fishery administration boat.

Han Yu raised his telescope and clearly saw that the three fishing boats were under construction at sea! The people on the fishing boats drove several piles in the sea and built a simple platform on the piles.

"Coast patrol 49 calls fishery administration 301, coast patrol 49 calls fishery administration 301."

"301 received, Haixun 49, please speak!"

"Is the webmaster here? I'm Han Yu!"

The excited voice of Bao, the director of Lusi Fishery Administration Station of Dongqi Agricultural Bureau came from the radio: "Bureau Han, why are you here? How did you know I'm here?"

Han Yu put down the telescope, held up the radio, looked at the fishery administration ship in the distance, and said with a smile: "Stationmaster Bao, I changed my career and was just transferred to the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau. I don't know you are here, but I know you."

The ship!"

Stationmaster Bao walked to the cab door and looked at Haixun 49, which was afraid of getting stranded. He held up the intercom and said excitedly: "We came with experts from the National Ocean Technology Center to install the observation equipment. We didn't expect that we could be there."

See you here. Bureau Han, how did you get transferred to the Maritime Safety Bureau?"

"The organization transferred me here, so I can only obey the organization's arrangements." Han Yu smiled and asked curiously: "Webmaster Bao, what equipment are you here to install?"

"Installation of Volunteer Boat Observation System."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are meteorological departments on shore to observe and prepare for climate change, and there are also ones at sea.

However, unlike on shore, it is impossible to set up meteorological observation stations everywhere, so the International Meteorological Organization, the predecessor of the World Meteorological Organization, drafted and adopted the World Meteorological Convention and established a series of committees.

One of the committees, called the Technical Cooperation Committee on Oceanography and Marine Meteorology, in order to better conduct observations of marine meteorological elements such as waves, water temperature, wind, air pressure, temperature and humidity, invited the member countries of the International Meteorological Organization to recruit volunteer ships to conduct meteorological observations.

.

This international meteorological cooperation project is abbreviated as SOT in English. There are more than 7,000 ships participating in marine meteorological surveys. The first ocean-going container freighter Han Yu served was a volunteer ship of SOT.

These ships have routes all over the world, and those responsible for meteorological observation tasks are senior crew members who have participated in SOT training. During the voyage, meteorological observations must be conducted four times a day in accordance with the specifications of the World Meteorological Organization, and the observation data must be reported to the voyage in real time.

The international coast station reports to the regional centers of the World Meteorological Organization through the international coast station.

As a member of the World Meteorological Organization, China is obliged to provide marine climate data and also benefits from it. For example, when our country's cargo ships sail long distances, they can obtain relevant marine climate information.

It’s just that science and technology are becoming more and more advanced now, and manual observation and manual reporting are no longer needed as they were more than ten years ago.

Han Yu did not expect that his superiors would install the volunteer ship observation system on the simple platform outside. He asked curiously: "Who will be responsible for maintaining the observation system after it is installed?"

"We, our fishery administration station is responsible for maintenance."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Who asked us to do this? Bureau Han, what are you doing here?"

"This is the junction of the waters under the jurisdiction of our Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau and Yungang Maritime Safety Bureau. This is our first time to go on a sea cruise, so of course we have to come and take a look."

"The water here is shallow, don't come over here, I'll go over there."

"Stationmaster Bao, don't come here. You are busy with your business. We have been out at sea for many days. Let's just take a walk around the area." Han Yu thought about it and smiled: "Send hello to the experts from the National Ocean Technology Center for me.

"

"No problem, I wish you a safe journey and I'll see you when we get back."

Haixun 49 is running out of fuel and fresh water, so it will return to the shipwreck area as planned to take a look at the shipwreck area.

Han Yu said hello to the Taitung City construction workers who were working on the sea through the radio, walked around in a circle and ordered to sail back.

It is not easy to meet the fishery administration on the vast sea. Everyone was very happy. They even felt that they would not be lonely when cruising in the future, because it was not only themselves who were patrolling and enforcing the law in this area, but also the fishery administration.

Sailing back, we did not enter the wave area we came through, and detoured about three nautical miles to the east. Gu Zhengjian shouted: "Han Bureau, Director Wu, there is a ship at four o'clock, about six nautical miles away from us, heading due south.

The speed is six knots."

The speed of general breakbulk cargo and oil tankers is usually around 13 to 19 knots. The speed of container ships built in recent years is faster, usually around 20 to 25 knots.

The boat Gu Zhengjian found on the radar was only traveling at six knots. Could it be a fishing boat or a freighter that had broken down?

Han Yu felt very strange and said thoughtfully: "Drive over and have a look. Anyway, I'm on my way."

"yes!"

"Yachuan, pay attention to the radio."

"yes!"

Haixun 49 is a official ship with a small tonnage but fast speed.

The two ships were six nautical miles apart, and they caught up within an hour. Through the telescope, you could clearly see that it was a bulk carrier flying the Panama flag, with a visual estimate of about 20,000 tons.

The condition of the boat doesn't look very good, at least it's not well maintained and it's rusty, which makes it look like it's very old and broken.

Han Yu whispered: "Xu Yachuan, shout."

"Yes!" Xu Yachuan was a top student who was assigned to the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau the year before last. He had worked under Han Xiangning for a period of time in security inspection and his English was good. He immediately put down his telescope and raised the radio: "Please pay attention to the Altyn, please pay attention to the Altyn.

We are a Chinese maritime patrol ship. Please answer when you receive it. Please answer when you receive it."

"..."

The other party did not reply. Through the telescope, you could clearly see that the crew on the deck was in a panic.
