Three Gorges Navigation Breaks New Hundred Million Tons

Some time ago, some media learned from the “2015 Work Conference of the Three Gorges Navigation Administration Bureau and the Fourth Staff Representative Conference”. Last year, the navigation safety of the Three Gorges maintained “double zero”, the safety situation was the best in history, and the Three Gorges ship locks operated safely in total. Gate times, the throughput was 119.292 million tons (including passenger ship equivalent traffic of 10.312 million tons); Gezhouba three-seat ship lock was operated with 18,619 trips, and the throughput was 117.725 million tons, which was a year-on-year increase, a record high, and the hub shipping benefit was further safe and efficient. Play.

At present, the three shiplocks of the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam have been overloaded for a long period of time, and the normal operation of ship lock operation and frequent maintenance is becoming increasingly prominent. It is predicted that the demand for the gate will still rise rapidly in the future, far exceeding the maximum practical capacity of the ship lock. According to Ji Yujian, director of the Three Gorges Navigation Administration of the Yangtze River, the serious shortage of ship locks will inevitably lead to a large number of ship backlogs, and the navigable organization, ship lock operation, and anchorage capacity will face enormous pressure and severe tests. The contradiction between the limited capacity of ship locks that cannot be adapted to the rush of shipping and its derivative problems will become the new normal state that has existed for a long time before the completion of the new channel of the Three Gorges Shipping. “The Three Gorges Bureau will insist on 'a firm, five-upgrading, and six-strengthening' for the New Normalization of the navigation of the Three Gorges, and will unswervingly adhere to the scientific development direction of the navigation of the Three Gorges, and will do a good job in the navigation work of the Three Gorges. In terms of safety, security, scientific research, comprehensive management, service capabilities, etc., we have achieved 'five enhancements', focusing on strengthening planning and construction, deepening reforms, building legal and regulatory systems, building talent teams, and strengthening party building and cultural construction efforts. New achievements in reform and development will better serve the construction of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt."

It is understood that, as a complement to the operation efficiency of the Three Gorges ship lock, the Three Gorges ship lift operation preparation work has been carried out in an orderly manner. The ship lift management office has set up internal agencies, responsibilities and staffing has been formally approved, completed the preparation of the ship lift operation management system , related to the protection of key technology research made progress. In 2015, the Three Gorges Navigation Administration of the Yangtze River will aim at “combination of management and management, seamless integration, and absolutely nothing”. It has high standards and strict requirements for the development and implementation of countdown plans and node arrangements for the operation preparation of the Three Gorges Shiplift.

The reporter also learned that in the Three Gorges area last year, there was a zero-wreck of water on the waters of the Three Gorges area, and four consecutive years of personnel deaths. There were no accidents or accidents involving drifting, dams, or accidents. The passenger ferry had no accidents in 17 years of safe ferry and the security situation continued to be stable.
