Zhoushan maritime escort East China Sea "small open fishing"

At 14:00 on August 11, the Zhoushan sea area in Zhejiang welcomed the autumn "small fishing season" peak of concentrated departures. The Zhoushan Maritime Bureau focused on key fishing periods and core navigation waters, relying on the commercial-fishing joint management center to carry out special monitoring, empowering intelligent supervision, and escorting 2,468 fishing vessels in the jurisdiction to lift restrictions and go out to sea in an orderly manner, fully ensuring the navigation safety of commercial and fishing vessels in the area.

Relying on platforms such as the intelligent maritime system and the Vessel Traffic Management System (VTS), the Zhoushan Maritime Bureau conducted point-to-point checks on the navigation trajectories and speed control of passing commercial vessels, addressing issues such as illegal high-speed navigation of commercial vessels. For the large-scale concentrated departures of medium and large fishing vessels, the bureau focused on verifying the continuous operation of AIS and Beidou equipment, conducting online inspections of fishing vessels crossing public navigation routes, and capturing real-time dynamic data of vessel navigation. Through big data intelligent analysis, the system automatically assessed high-risk encounter situations between commercial and fishing vessels, issuing early warning alerts in advance. Monitoring personnel simultaneously carried out remote interventions and precise communications, urging commercial and fishing vessels to strictly implement collision avoidance rules. Law enforcement officers targeted high-risk vessels and key operational waters, conducting online and offline safety education for crew members and fishermen.

For waters such as Qushan East, Daishan Channel, and Shenpu Channel, the Zhoushan Maritime Bureau implemented a "drone + patrol boat + VTS" three-dimensional closed-loop supervision model—using drones for aerial patrol and inspection to accurately identify hidden dangers in remote waters and densely populated fishing areas; dispatching multiple patrol boats to station at key waters for monitoring and dynamic mobile patrols; and relying on VTS to achieve remote dynamic control of waters, guiding vessels to reduce speed and adjust their course.
