At 8:53 am on July 1, 2020, our company received a call from the Octagonal Maritime Department of Yantai Maritime Safety Administration, telling us that we found unknown oil spills in the coastal area before Yantai West Port 501# berth, and asked our company to carry out unidentified oil spills at sea. Emergency treatment and removal. After receiving the telephone instruction, our company quickly activated the company's oil spill emergency plan and mobilized personnel and oil spill handling equipment to the scene.

Unidentified oil spills are like an erratic "time bomb". With wind currents, they will pose serious threats to docks, beaches and coastal fishermen's breeding areas. At 0955, the "Haian 9", "Haian 617" and 2 oil spill emergency response vessels sent by our company arrived at the scene. Unidentified oil spilled on the sea was found floating up and down in the coastal area before berths 502 and 501. The above berths belonged to the Yantai Port Group. The special dock for 300,000-ton-class bulk carriers has blocked the entry of large bulk carriers. Time is money. Our staff immediately began to invest in cleanup work after arriving at the site.

The work site was scorching on that day, the employees were sweating like rain, and it coincided with the high tide level. Once the oil spilled on the sea hit the quay wall, it would greatly increase the difficulty of removal. In the face of difficulties, our employees quickly made countermeasures, using oil booms to quickly isolate the accident site, and quickly isolate the contaminated area from the dock wall and ships. The work lasted from the morning until the sun set in the afternoon. In the hot weather, the employees didn't eat a bite of lunch, and all of them did not fear fatigue and clenched their teeth. After all the oil spilled on the sea was transported to the shore by the ship, everyone was relieved. In one breath, the cleanup of the contaminated area was successfully completed, and the joy of the large bulk carrier smoothly arriving at berth 501# filled the faces of every employee. Our company not only discharged the hidden danger of pollution in the berth area in time, and ensured the cleanliness of the sea area, but also provided a strong guarantee for the timely production of the terminal and the improvement of efficiency.
