The Yangtze River estuary channel protects the unimpeded 12.5m deep water channel

In 2013, the Yangtze River Estuary Waterway Administration Bureau will rely on science and technology to ensure the smooth flow of the 12.5-meter deepwater channel in the Yangtze River Estuary. Under the premise of safety management and safe production, it will effectively reduce the maintenance cost of the navigation channel.

In 2012, from July 28 to August 29, Shanghai was continuously affected by five typhoons, resulting in an increase in the number of resiltation of waterways compared to 2011. In the face of severe situations, the Yangtze River Estuary Waterway Authority has meticulously organized its forces and scientific deployment. Ships have overcome difficulties and kept the 12.5-meter deep water channel open. According to reports, during the whole year of 2012, the total number of ships passing through the Yangtze River estuary deepwater channel reached 48,970 ships, and 5,757 50,000 tons of ships were shipped. According to the data of the first three quarters of 2012, it is estimated that the volume of cargo passing through the Yangtze River estuary throughout the year will be It reached 1.1 billion tons (1.01 billion tons in 2011).

It is reported that in 2013, the Yangtze River Estuary Waterway Administration Bureau will continue to do its utmost to ensure that the guaranteed navigation depth of the 12.5-meter deepwater channel in the Yangtze River estuary is not less than 95%. The “Yangtze River Estuary 02” wheel was recently delivered for use and was quickly put into the deepwater of the Yangtze River Estuary. Fairway maintenance construction. At the same time, relying closely on science and technology to ensure the results of siltation and siltation measures of the waterway, the results have been achieved, and under the premise of safety management and safe production, the cost of channel maintenance has been effectively reduced.
