Last week, the Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration formally announced the Guidance Opinions for Ship Selective Inspection of Dangerous Chemicals in the Yangtze River Waters in Nanjing, which marked the last two years of Nanjing brewing and planning for the ship owner or terminal unit tanker for the production and operation of dangerous chemicals in the area. The inspection mechanism entered the implementation phase. It is reported that the implementation of the inspection mechanism for the selection of tankers in the jurisdiction of a maritime authority is the first in the country.

It is understood that currently the world-famous petrochemical group is generally in compliance with the inspection standards of the International Petroleum Corporation's Maritime Forum (OCIMF), the European Chemicals Distribution Association (CDI) and other international conventions and statutory regulations in order to ensure the safety of its own cargo and loading and unloading operations. Tankers for cargo transportation and berthing operations implement industry access inspections. Most of Nanjing Dangerous Chemicals Terminals are self-owned ship-owning docks, which have the convenience and autonomy of shipper selection. It is against this background that the administrative guidance for the inspection of tankers in the Nanjing area has been issued.

According to the person in charge of the Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration, the administrative guidance for the inspection of the tanker in the Nanjing area mainly includes the specific procedures and procedures for the implementation of hazardous substances, such as the subject and object of ship selection, vessel inspection agencies, personnel qualifications, and vessel inspection procedures. The opinions and suggestions, and the preparation of the standards for the implementation of inspections; the requirements of the implementation of the requirements for the selection of ships and the mutual communication and contact mechanisms with the maritime authorities have been made in principle. The Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration will actively guide the liquid cargo shippers and terminals in the area to promote the use of their own market advantages, adopt market regulation, and secure the company’s cargo transportation and loading and unloading operations. It already has a valid convention certificate and classification certificate. Among the ships that have statutory certificates, the fleet that chooses a better vessel structure, better equipment and technical conditions, and a higher overall quality of crew members participate in the company’s cargo transportation.

Nanjing is an important petrochemical base, and Nanjing Chemical Industry Park is the second petrochemical industrial base approved by the country. Currently, there are more than 220 chemical companies above designated size, including Nanhua, Yangzi Petrochemical, BASF, and Wison (Nanjing). ), Dana (Nanjing), Nanjing Jinpu Rubber and other famous companies at home and abroad. It is reported that in order to match with the growing chemical industry, Nanjing Chemical Industry Park is stepping up efforts to build a modern logistics industry. Currently, it has completed a total investment of 3 billion yuan to build 10 liquid chemical terminals, 200,000 cubic meters of storage tank area, 100,000 square meters. Chemical warehouses and infrastructure such as a 22-kilometer railway line and a 45-kilometer industrial corridor. Among them, the most important component is to use each enterprise terminal as a fulcrum, give full play to the contribution of the Yangtze River transportation to the industry, and form a logistics transportation system combining waterways, railways, highways, and pipelines.

Obviously, under the backdrop of being a superior and powerful chemical pillar industry and society paying more attention to safety and environmental protection, it is particularly important for Nanjing to issue a standardized inspection system for ship selection. At the same time, many chemical companies have a close relationship with the shipping of the Yangtze River due to the heavy cargo throughput. The implementation of this mechanism naturally causes the enterprises in the region to pay full attention to it.

Dana (Nanjing) Chemical Co., Ltd., located in Nanjing Chemical Industry Park, is an important glycol ether solvent manufacturer in China. Its comprehensive production capacity exceeds 300,000 tons, and its total logistics volume is large. Many of its major raw materials and a considerable number of products depend on ships. Transportation, many of which require high security and technical conditions. For example, if the ship selected by Ethylene has a carrying capacity of 3,500 tons, it is required to have a special dedicated vessel for freezing -104°C. Qin Yisheng, chairman of the company, told the reporter: “Nanjing waters are the most busy sections of the Yangtze River. According to the law, transportation of hazardous chemicals is regulated according to law. This not only effectively protects the company’s normal production and operation, but more importantly relates to the safety of the entire river. Therefore, the inspection mechanism for ship selection of hazardous chemicals ships is obviously beneficial to improving the level of safe shipping in the Yangtze River."

According to Xue Aibing, deputy director of production at the liquid terminal operation area of ​​Yangzi Petrochemical Logistics Department, the operation area is responsible for the transportation of almost all liquid raw materials and products of Yangzi Petrochemical. Among them, raw materials include crude oil, naphtha, mixed benzene, reforming materials, wax oil, etc.; products include "triphenyl", gasoline, diesel, aviation kerosene and so on. “Yangzi Petrochemical Terminal has a complete terminal emergency system, with cofferdams to prevent crude oil leakage, and associated facilities such as oil skimmers and oil-absorbing cotton. In the hardware of the equipment, the rubber hoses are used to connect pipelines between ordinary terminals. Yangzi Petrochemical uses metal hoses with high material quality and good performance. After the implementation of the Opinions, Yangzi Liquid Terminal will strictly comply with the management regulations of Sinopec Dangerous Chemicals Terminal and do a variety of safety and environmental protection measures.”

Xue Aibing said.

From the Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration, it was learned that in order to promote the effective implementation of the Opinions, the inspection of the crew's practical skills for tankers was strengthened and the on-site supervision capabilities of front-line law enforcement officers on tankers were improved. The Bureau also launched a tanker on March 31. The crew actually inspected the training activities. The professional teacher gave a detailed explanation of the basic knowledge of the actual inspection of the tanker's crew from the theoretical aspect, and combined with the actual ship inspection, introduced in detail the points and common defects in the actual inspection of the tanker crew.
