On August 26, the China News Service reported that the Haijun 09, China’s largest maritime law enforcement ship, conducted a patrol in Huizhou Port from August 25 to 26. During its visit, the vessel also hosted a Let’s Go See the Sea – Maritime Open Day event, organized by the Huizhou Maritime Bureau.
The Haijun 09 embarked on a patrol mission in the East Guangdong waters on August 19, setting sail from waters near Miaowan Island in the Pearl River Estuary. It made stops along the coast of Shantou, near Taiwan Shoal waters, and at other locations, before arriving at its final destination in the East Guangdong patrol, Huizhou Port, on August 25.
On August 26, the Haijun 09, joined by the Huizhou Maritime Bureau’s Haijun 0938 and Haijun 09271, formed a joint patrol fleet to conduct an aerial and maritime巡查 of the Daya Bay area. The focus of the operation was to inspect the 30 million tonnage channel at Mabianzhou, the Qianwan Channel, and the 6/7/8/9/10/11# anchorage areas. The aim was to assess the waterway traffic conditions, regulate shipping order, and ensure the safety of maritime operations. In line with the Coordinated Commercial and Fishing Vessel Management and Fishing Protection Action Plan for the South China Sea, the patrol aimed to strengthen surveillance in areas with high concentrations of commercial and fishing vessels, thus preventing potential collisions.
In a gesture of public outreach, on the morning of August 26, while moored at the Huizhou International Container Terminal, the Haijun 09 participated in a Let’s Go See the Sea – Maritime Open Day event, co-organized with the South China Sea Patrol Law Enforcement总队. The event welcomed local government agencies, port operators, and approximately 100 citizens, including 50 young children, to board the vessel and learn about maritime affairs, ocean conservation, and navigation. This initiative promoted interaction and communication between the maritime sector and the general public.
The Haijun 09, as China’s first 10,000-ton class deep-sea comprehensive command flagship in the maritime law enforcement system, boasts advanced equipment and strong operational capabilities. With a non-stop range of at least 10,000 nautical miles at a speed of 16 knots and a maximum speed of 25 knots, the vessel can safely navigate in sea state 9 or wind force 12 conditions, according to the report.
These activities highlight China’s commitment to maritime safety, environmental protection, and public engagement in understanding the importance of maritime affairs. The Haijun 09’s presence in Huizhou Port serves as a testament to the country’s efforts in strengthening its maritime law enforcement capabilities and fostering a sense of national pride and awareness among its citizens.
