At 6:00 PM on May 13th, 2020, Everwin was contacted by the
captain of the "Wan Rong Hai" ship and Mr. Wang Shuguang, the
section chief of the COSCO Shipping Passenger Transport Company,
regarding an oil spill that had taken place at the Dalian Bay
Passenger Terminal. The spill had caused significant pollution
in the surrounding waters.
As soon as the
notification was received, Everwin's emergency response team
activated the company's pollution emergency response plan and
dispatched the response team to the scene. One hour later, at
19:35PM, Everwin’s the emergency response vessel "Yongsheng 6",
"Xipu 8" and "Yongsheng2" arrived at the site one after another.
Upon arrival, the team immediately conducted an oil spill search
on the outer sea surface and deployed 600-meter-long
oil-absorbing towlines to control the spill. The team used
specialized equipment to scoop up oil-soaked pads and deploy new
ones in the most affected areas. Additionally, they used
biodegradable oil-degrading agents to break down the thick black
oil film that had spread over a wide area.
Despite
the high winds and rough seas, the team persevered, standing on
makeshift foam rafts to reach hard-to-reach areas and completing
a rigorous inspection of theship's oil spillage points. Other
team members boarded support vessels to continue cleaning the
ship's hull and surrounding areas, using specialized equipment
to remove contaminated ropes, nets, and debris.
