For many fishermen, the risk of going to sea is much lower than before. Most of the fishing vessels in the open sea or the open sea are equipped with maritime satellite navigation systems, which can receive real-time maritime information from the maritime authorities at any time.

Even so, in the face of some sudden extreme weather, it is difficult for even maritime satellites to perceive it at the first time. This also means that fishing boats that go out to sea and spend the night at sea sometimes need to be more vigilant.

In the face of sudden weather changes, Zhuang Haiyang, who is extremely sensitive to the climate at sea, noticed that the situation was a little bad at the first time. What worries Zhuang Haiyang the most is that this air flow comes extremely suddenly, and the speed of change is also extremely fast.

With the tonnage of distant-water fishing vessels, there is naturally no problem in the face of such wind and waves. But if the wind and waves continue to escalate, even if they can withstand the wind and waves, I am afraid that the people on board will not have a good time.

For safety reasons, Zhuang Haiyang immediately ordered to set sail again, hoping to escape from this dangerous sea. According to the analysis of the shipborne meteorological instrument, the area covered by this extreme air flow seems to be small, and it is still possible to accelerate the escape.

Just as the fleet set sail, Zhu Junhong, who came to the cockpit, said with a little worry: "Ocean, what about our crab pots?"

"It's too late! Let's leave it alone! If the wind and waves can abate tomorrow, we'll come back. Personnel and crew are important, and leaving first is the wisest choice. Inform all crew members to wear life jackets and not to move around. ”

"Good!"

At this time, Sun Xingyuan, the captain of the Nanzhou Maritime Brigade, who was resting, was also startled when he received a satellite call from Zhuang Haiyang. As the head of maritime affairs, he is well aware of how dangerous this sudden bad weather can be.

"Ocean, keep talking! I'll go back to work immediately!"

"Okay, Brother Sun, try to be as fast as you can. In my experience, the wave level increases quickly. Now the wind and waves in my sea area should be almost at the level of big waves. You should know that such winds and waves are dangerous for medium-sized fishing boats. ”

"Okay, I see. Feel free to wait for me to call, and you should be careful. ”

"Okay, let's talk about that first. ”

Although the sea area where Zhuang Ocean is located does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhou Maritime Safety Bureau. But in reality, if a fishing boat has an accident in the open sea, the maritime department must carry out active rescue. If necessary, the Navy will even be called upon to carry out a rescue.

It is precisely knowing this that Sun Xingyuan is so nervous. When he came to the Maritime Safety Bureau, he immediately asked the officer on duty to open the Inmarsat weather map. On the diagram, sure enough, I saw an air flow accelerating its movement.

From the meteorological display map, the intensity of this air flow does not appear to be large. Perhaps because of this, the staff on duty did not issue an early warning. Calling up the satellite signal of Zhuang Haiyang's fleet, Sun Xingyuan found that the fleet was indeed in the center of the air flow.

Knowing this, Sun Xingyuan immediately reported the situation. When the news was confirmed, the maritime authorities immediately issued an early warning to the fishing vessels in the area. Some fishing boats that were working had already sensed that something was wrong and began to speed away.

But there are many fishing boats that have been trapped in the storm. The ever-increasing waves made these small fishing boats extremely difficult. After receiving the warning, the fishing boats immediately sent a distress signal.

The leaders of the maritime department, who were woken up overnight, also seemed extremely anxious when they learned that many fishing boats were trapped at sea. After learning what happened, a leader soon asked, "Can you contact the Fisherman?"

"Yes, Leader, are you going to send the Fisherman to the rescue?"

"In this case, that's all we can do. Didn't Comrade Sun Xingyuan of Nanzhou say that the Fisherman was an ocean-going fishing vessel? The current wind and waves, with the tonnage of the Fisherman, should be able to withstand it, right?"

"It should be possible! It's just that judging from the current weather changes, I'm afraid that the wind and waves will increase in the later period. ”

In the face of such an unexpected situation, we must buy time. Contact the Nanzhou Maritime Brigade, I want to talk to Xiao Sun. As far as I know, the captain and crew of the Fisherman are all retired officers and men of the Navy, right?"

For other civilian ships, perhaps this leader would not dare to do so. After all, it is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to carry out rescue in such extremely bad weather. If you are not careful, the rescue boat may get in.

When Zhuang Haiyang received a call and learned that there were many fishing boats in the surrounding waters, he also said happily: "Please rest assured, we will rush to the rescue immediately." Please inform me of the location of the nearest fishing boat!"

The rest of the crew did not say much when they heard the news. For these retired non-commissioned officers from the Navy, they are well aware that in such extreme weather, fishing boats with small tonnage are in danger of sinking and capsizing at any time.

Considering that the wind and waves may continue to increase, Zhuang Haiyang also ordered the remaining two salvage ships to continue to maintain their speed and sail away from this sea area at a time of rescue, and not to join the follow-up rescue work.

When some crew members refused, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "In normal times, I will agree to let you join the rescue." But you should know that if the wind and waves are raised to the level of the great waves, your ship will not be able to withstand it at all.

Now, in my capacity as captain, I give you the order to retreat, and I hope you will obey it. Besides, if you get out of the danger zone, I can also carry out rescue with more peace of mind. Now, execute the command!"

With Zhuang Haiyang giving a strong evacuation order, the crews of the other two ships finally obeyed the order to speed up the evacuation. The ocean-going fishing boat, driven by Zhou Shengjie, began to sail towards the nearest fishing boat.

Looking at the waves that crashed onto the side of the boat from time to time, all the team members involved in the rescue also knew that this kind of sea rescue was extremely dangerous. It's just that all the team members feel honored to have the opportunity to participate in this kind of rescue.

The sense of honor formed by the troops has always influenced and inspired them. Moreover, many team members know that with Zhuang Haiyang on the boat, even if they are in any danger, I believe that Zhuang Haiyang can rescue them in time!

When the ocean-going fishing boat rode the wind and waves and finally saw the lights of the fishing boat looming not far ahead, Hong Wei, who was in charge of observation, immediately said: "Ocean, I have found a crew member in distress! What should I do next?"

"What can we do? In this case, we are afraid that we will not be able to keep their fishing boats. Let's get people on board first!"

"Good!"

"Shengjie, lean over the whistle. Turn on the radio intercom and talk to the fishing boat in distress to confirm the situation!"

"Understood!"

For a fishing boat in distress, all the crew members of the fishing boat shivered at the sight of the huge waves that kept crashing against the hull. It wasn't until they saw the huge tonnage of the ocean-going fishing vessel appear that all the crew members instantly became excited again.

With the establishment of radio communication, knowing that the crew on the fishing boat is temporarily safe, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Captain Xu, I was entrusted by the leaders of the maritime department to come to the rescue. It's just that your boat can't be towed away. ”

"Ahh

"That's all I can do in this situation. Besides, after saving you, I have to rescue other ships in distress. If the storm subsides soon, you may be able to get your fishing boat back.

For now, please be ready for rescue immediately. Wait, I'll pull over the boat and you pack some important stuff. Time is limited, and if you continue to procrastinate, you should know what the consequences will be. ”

Even if he knew that the fishing boat was the life of these fishermen, but in this case, Zhuang Haiyang could only protect the lives of the fishermen first. As for fishing boats, if something happens at sea, there is insurance to cover it.

Seeing that the surge was too big, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Hong Wei, wait a minute, you are responsible for commanding on the ship, and I will go to the sea to carry out the rescue." With such a big wave, I am afraid that it will not be possible to approach the rescue. The only way to do this is to let them go into the water first, and then use the crane to rescue them.

Wait a minute, just place the lifting rope between the two boats, and I'll bring the crew in distress to the lifting rope. As soon as I give the signal, you immediately carry out the lifting. Strive to get all the crew members up in the shortest possible time. ”

"Okay, then you have to be more careful!"

"Well, my water-based, you should understand!"

Wearing a reflective life jacket, Zhuang Haiyang jumped directly into the sea. Hong Wei and others, who were staying on the boat, also began to start the hoist, placed the hoisting equipment on the side of the ship, and slowly approached the fishing boat in distress.

The fishermen, who were having a headache about how to get out of the fishing boat, were also stunned when they saw Zhuang Haiyang shuttling in the huge waves. When Zhuang Haiyang approached the fishing boat, he also said directly: "The wind and waves are too big, my boat doesn't dare to come over, so I can only save them one by one." ”

Explaining the rescue method clearly, the fishermen, who were also wearing life jackets, seemed a little worried. In their opinion, jumping into the sea under such a big wave risks sinking the sea if they are not careful.

Faced with the hesitation of these fishermen, Zhuang Haiyang pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't believe it, then I'll go back." Anyway, I'm not a professional rescue ship, and if you refuse to cooperate, then I can only go!"

Under some threats, some fishermen finally had the courage to jump off the fishing boat. Just when the fishermen were panicked by the big waves, they suddenly felt that their bodies were controlled by their powerful arms, and even dragged them directly and swam quickly forward.

"Take it easy, since I dare to let you jump off, I naturally have the confidence to rescue you back to my ship. ”

Swam to the location where the sling was and quickly tied it with the rope, Zhuang Haiyang immediately said: "Hold this rope, you will soon be safe." Time is limited, and I have to save others!"

Signaled to Hong Wei, and the lifting sling began to tighten and lift. In a short time, the crew member was safely hoisted to the distant-water fishing vessel. After untying the rope, Hong Wei immediately said, "Put the lifting sling back again!"

Knowing that time was pressing, Hong Wei naturally also accelerated the rescue. The rescued fishermen were quickly helped into the cabin by the other team members. There, the crew also prepared clean clothes for the fishermen to change and keep warm.

As the last fisherman was rescued back to the boat, Zhuang Haiyang, who also returned to the boat with a sling, did not have time to say anything to the rescued fishermen, and then ordered to sail to the next fishing boat in distress.

In the current situation, Zhuang Haiyang must follow the wind and waves to rush time. The earlier you get to the sea where the fishing boat is in distress, the earlier you can get the fishermen in distress out of danger. If you save one more fisherman, you may be able to save one more family!
