“船舶智能点验系统” 破解“黑色五小时”难题

Core Insights - The article discusses the increasing risk of ship collisions due to rising maritime traffic, particularly during the vulnerable hours between 11 PM and 4 AM, referred to as the "black five hours" [1] - The Ministry of Transport's Beihai Maritime Safety Center has developed and piloted the "Vessel Intelligent Inspection System" to enhance safety supervision through technological innovation [2] Group 1: Collision Risks and Challenges - The minimum encounter distance between merchant ships and fishing vessels is less than 0.5 nautical miles, with minimum encounter times under 20 minutes, leading to urgent encounter situations [1] - Traditional manual inspection methods used by maritime management agencies are becoming less effective due to increased vessel traffic, low automation levels, and difficulties in evidence collection, especially during nighttime and adverse weather conditions [1] Group 2: Technological Solutions - The "Vessel Intelligent Inspection System" was created to address the challenges of traditional inspection methods, enabling 24/7 unmanned precise inspections, improving inspection efficiency by 50%, and reducing regulatory response times to minutes [2] - In Weihai, the system can achieve 100% automatic inspections of vessels entering the electronic fence area within one minute, effectively guiding merchant and fishing vessels to follow recommended routes and reducing collision probabilities [2] - The system is currently being trialed in maritime departments in Qingdao, Weihai, and Lianyungang, with plans to gradually expand its pilot scope to benefit more maritime areas [2]
