To consistently regulate maritime radio communication order in the Fuling section of the Yangtze River and ensure ship navigation safety, the Fuling Communications Management Office recently collaborated with the Baiheliang Law Enforcement Unit of the Fuling Maritime Safety Administration to conduct a specialized campaign targeting radio equipment on the vessel "Caiyuan XXX." This initiative leveraged professional technical expertise to support on-site maritime law enforcement.
During the operation, communication technicians and maritime law enforcement officers, accompanied by the ship's captain, first conducted an on-site inspection of the vessel's AIS antenna installation. It was discovered that the ship's AIS antenna was positioned too close to its radar antenna, posing a risk of electromagnetic interference from the radar. This could potentially lead to AIS signal loss or distortion of dynamic information. The technicians immediately identified the issue and provided rectification recommendations, urging the ship's crew to promptly adjust the antenna layout to ensure proper equipment function.
Subsequently, the inspection team verified the vessel's documentation, including the AIS certificate, radio station license, and inspection certificate, checking the validity and consistency of each item. The focus was on identifying issues such as operating without proper certification, expired documents, or information discrepancies. Maritime law enforcement officers provided on-site legal education, clearly outlining the rectification requirements.
In the technical testing phase, the Fuling Communications Management Office utilized specialized equipment to conduct functional and performance tests on the "Caiyuan XXX" vessel's AIS terminal. This included verifying static information such as MMSI, vessel name, and ship type, as well as testing key parameters like transmission power and frequency tolerance. Upon completion of the tests, the technicians issued an on-site "Domestic Voyage Ship Automatic Identification System (AIS) Test Report" and provided the crew with guidance on equipment maintenance and standardized operation procedures.
This joint operation effectively integrated maritime law enforcement with technical support, promptly eliminating potential radio safety hazards on the vessel and enhancing crew awareness of lawful frequency usage and proper equipment installation. Moving forward, the Fuling Communications Management Office will continue to deepen its collaborative efforts with maritime authorities, routinely advancing the rectification of maritime radio communication order to fully ensure unobstructed communication and navigation safety in the jurisdictional waters.
