Chongqing Liangjiang ships will install GPS and collision avoidance systems

A few days ago, a flood peak transiting Chongqing not only brought floods to the cities along the two rivers, but also many ships on the Jialing River lost control and overturned, causing 11 people to fall into the water and the economic losses were huge. To this end, water traffic safety has once again caused concern.

As a water traffic controller, how can we minimize accidents? Recently, the 26th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 3rd National People's Congress of Chongqing reviewed the "Regulations on the Administration of Water Traffic Safety in Chongqing (Revised Draft)". The members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress have put forward some suggestions and suggestions. After analyzing and discussing the shipwreck accident It is unanimously recommended to quickly establish and improve the water transportation emergency plan, including the installation of GPS and anti-collision system, in order to find the location of the sunken ship in time, and to play an early warning role against the collision ship. In the safety management of water traffic, timely finding and determining the location of the sunken vessel and predicting the navigation status of the vessel in front of the vessel in advance can not only effectively reduce and avoid the occurrence of safety accidents, but also ensure the smooth flow of the entire navigation channel.

According to the "Revised Draft", ships in the Chongqing River Basin must be equipped with high-frequency wireless telephones, GPS (Global Positioning System) and collision avoidance systems, that is, automatic ship identification systems. This system consists of onshore base stations and shipborne equipment. After installation and use, it can provide timely warning to avoid collisions.
