The Chongming Maritime "Yingxin" Crew Station "COSCO Shipping Station" is now operational.

On November 11th, the "COSCO Shipping Station" of the "Yingxin" Seafarers' Station under the Chongming Maritime Safety Administration was inaugurated at Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. Leaders from the Chongming Maritime Safety Administration, Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., and staff representatives from both parties attended the event.

During the ceremony, leaders from the Chongming Maritime Safety Administration and Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. jointly unveiled the "COSCO Shipping Station" of the "Yingxin" Seafarers' Station. Later, the attending leaders and staff representatives visited the station together. The station is located within the newly completed Shipowner Club of Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry, which was previously a floating accommodations structure repurposed from the VLCC-to-FPSO conversion project. By abandoning the conventional disposal of old materials, the structure, once weathered by ocean waves, was refurbished and redesigned with new functionalities, achieving circular reuse of old offshore modules. The facility includes a gym area, relaxation area, reading area, and coffee bar, integrating diverse functions such as dispute resolution, rights protection, policy advocacy, leisure reading, and health activities. It offers comprehensive services to seafarers, such as legal aid, professional training, relaxation, skill development, and cultural enrichment.

Simultaneously, the first session of the "Three-In-One Face-to-Face" customized teaching service newly launched by Chongming Maritime Safety Administration was held. The educators of the Chongming Maritime Safety Administration delivered specialized sessions focused on the "People's Republic of China Ecological Environment Code," ship safety inspections, and safety knowledge on collision prevention between commercial and fishing vessels. They explained regulatory requirements and key risk prevention points in conjunction with the local navigation environment and actual ship operations, while addressing the seafarers' questions on-site.

It is understood that this station is the 12th "Yingxin" Seafarers' Station established by the Chongming Maritime Safety Administration, emphasizing its "1+3+X" work focus and closely aligning with the actual needs of seafarers. It was constructed within two years as a warm haven for seafarers to rest upon their arrival in the Chongming jurisdiction after long journeys at sea.
