Chapter 431: What a Big Ship!

Compared with the life of fishing at sea, the life of sea trials is naturally more boring. But for Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage, who came to pick up the ship, even if they knew that it was boring to be familiar with the ship at sea every day, they had to get familiar with this big guy as soon as possible.

For those who drift on the sea, the boat is undoubtedly their home and their means of survival. If you are not familiar with ships, if you go to the open sea, it will be difficult to find a rescue even if you can't find a village or a store in front of you.

Even though the ship's communication systems and predictions of sea conditions are now earlier than before, it can sometimes be difficult for many crew members to avoid the weather conditions, even if they know the weather conditions. What's more, sea conditions are often changeable.

If they are not proficient in mastering and controlling the ship, then they will encounter extremely bad weather when they sail out to sea, and the chances of survival are very small. As members of the Navy, they naturally know better than anyone else.

For nearly a week, even without the guidance of a shipyard mechanic, everyone was able to operate the ship proficiently. The various systems of the ship's equipment, as the captain, Wang Yanming also knows it well. In this regard, the technician who instructed him was also very impressed.

said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang, your crew members are worthy of being born in the navy, and the speed of being familiar with the ship is a few points faster than others!"

"We have all been drifting at sea for many years, and we still have some understanding of the sea conditions and the situation of ships. If it weren't for your careful guidance, I'm afraid that it would not be easy for us to get familiar with the control of this big guy!"

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and after a few days of trial ship, Zhuang Haiyang and his comrades were very satisfied with this big guy. Several professional maintenance personnel who were selected by the army also went directly to Shanghai to report.

After understanding the performance of the ship, these retired non-commissioned officers, who were good at maintaining warships in the past, also said that in the case of going to sea, if there is any problem with the ship, they have the ability to repair it in the shortest possible time. This confidence is naturally still very sufficient.

In view of this situation, Zhuang Haiyang, in the name of the new owner, also invited these mechanics who accompanied the trial voyage, as well as the senior management of the shipyard, to have a meal. Even if the shipyard executives felt embarrassed, they did not refuse Zhuang Haiyang's intentions.

As Zhuang Haiyang said, once born and twice ripe, they are now fighting for the third time. This friendship naturally doesn't need to be too polite. The shipyard senior management spent public money on a treat, and his invitation was a private banquet, so naturally the latter would not cause gossip!

So much so that at the end of the drink, Mr. Liu of the shipyard also patted his chest and said: "Mr. Zhuang, in the future, your ship, really have any trouble, drive the ship back at any time, we promise to give you free maintenance and maintenance, and also let you enjoy the three-pack policy!"

"Then thank you Brother Liu! If there is a need next time, I will still ask you to book a boat, but the price is a little more favorable." ”

"No problem! Just rush to our relationship, and I will definitely give you the most preferential price!"

It seems that Mr. Liu's promise is very heartwarming, but in Zhuang Haiyang's opinion, these are all drunken words. If it's serious, I guess I won't even have a place to find it. There is a chance to drive the boat back for maintenance, Zhuang Haiyang still thinks it is okay.

As for booking a new ship, with this large distant-water fishing vessel with a displacement of several thousand tons, Zhuang Haiyang should not have any plans to purchase new ships in the short term. After all, if the fleet doesn't have him, it's basically useless!

In this case, what is the use of purchasing more vessels? The income from distant-water fishing is indeed high, but the cost is not low. Without complete certainty, no one can guarantee that after the ship is sailed out, it will be able to return with a full load.

On the contrary, if Zhuang Haiyang goes to sea with the ship, he will not stay at sea for too long. There are certainly a lot of catches. Without Zhuang Haiyang and the boat, the comrades-in-arms actually did not want to go to sea in a team.

It is precisely because of this fact that everyone doesn't think that there is anything wrong with Zhuang Haiyang who takes the big head every time. If there is no Zhuang Haiyang, with their own ability, I am afraid that it will be difficult not to lose money!

The people of the shipyard were invited to have a meal, and Zhuang Haiyang was also greeted by the senior management of the shipyard and embarked on the return journey with his comrades who came by plane. In the following period, they will also start to prepare to go fishing in the open sea.

Although a fishing moratorium has been issued in China, there are basically no restrictions on large fishing vessels going out into the open ocean. The fishing moratorium is more limited to the country's economic fishing grounds, and it is natural that it does not matter if it exceeds the scope of the country's fishing grounds.

Considering that a fishing moratorium has been issued, fishing vessels are normally not allowed to leave the port without obtaining a permit. But for Zhuang Haiyang, he has already gained recognition in this regard, and has also purchased the necessary trawl nets and large crab pots in Shanghai.

It's just that during the voyage back to Nanzhou, Zhuang Haiyang did not order the team members to go out of the net, and even in order to avoid trouble, he directly tied the net he bought. In this way, it will also save you a lot of trouble.

When passing through the Lingnan Sea, he saw the patrol law enforcement ship that appeared in the distance, and began to issue an order to suspend sailing for inspection, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Squad leader, slow down and stop sailing, let them come and check!"

"Good!"

The documents were complete, and the corresponding sailing order was applied, and there was not a single seafood on the ship. If you are not empty-hearted, you are naturally not afraid of being checked. When the law enforcement ship boarded the ship, he saw the evidence presented by Zhuang Haiyang, and was also surprised: "This is a new ship?"

"Yes, to be exact, we have just picked up the new ship from Shanghai and are about to sail back to Nanzhou. You see, the trawls used for fishing, we all tied them up, and we never dismantled them at all. ”

After a careful inspection, it was confirmed that there was no problem, and the law enforcement ship also said directly: "Thank you for your cooperation, I wish you a happy return." Excuse me!"

For Zhuang Haiyang, it is natural that he did not do anything wrong. If the law enforcement ship is really looking for trouble, with the connections he has now, I believe that the other party will not be able to please him. In fact, the fishing vessels are also equipped with internal and external monitoring!

"In that case, it is also the duty of every ship owner to cooperate with law enforcement!

Seeing off these law enforcement officers who boarded the ship for inspection, Zhuang Haiyang also ordered Wang Yanming to continue to drive the boat. Looking at the fishing boat in the distance, the law enforcement team members who boarded the ship earlier were also very curious: "The crew of this boat seems to be a little special!"

"What's so special?"

"Don't you notice? All the crew members looked young, even the owner. The most important thing is that you see the way they stand on the boat, I'm afraid that they are more standard than our team members, don't you think it's strange?"

Just when everyone was curious, the commander who had inquired about the system said very directly: "Okay, don't ask too much about some things, the identity of this ship owner is not simple." Earlier, I also cooperated with our law enforcement ship!

It's just that he didn't expect that he just added a new boat last year, and this year he actually bought a big boat engaged in deep-sea fishing. It seems that this guy is really making money fishing. Those crew members are all his comrades-in-arms!"

As soon as these words came out, the law enforcement team members were naturally curious: "Squadron leader, what is the origin of this guy?"

"All you have to know is that they're law-abiding shipowners. What's more, these people are all elites who have retired from the Navy. I don't understand why I'm here to fish, but is this something we should worry about?"

As maritime law enforcement vessels, they are well aware of the importance of the navy. In the same way, they also admired the officers and men of the Navy. It is precisely because the navy patrols the coastal defense from time to time that these law enforcement ships will appear more at ease and at ease when they go to sea.

In addition, the cooperation and enthusiasm of Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage before are enough to show that they are very friendly and have not violated any laws. In such a situation, how can a law enforcement ship be looking for trouble for no reason?

Unlike the previous time when the salvage ship came back, this return voyage did not stop. plus Zhou Shengjie and Zhuang Haiyang, the three of them are responsible for driving the boat in shifts. People don't stop the boat, so as to check the endurance of the boat.

If they really want to go out into the ocean, they naturally need to keep sailing at sea. In this case, how long the ship can only sail without problems also needs to be actually tested. As for fuel consumption, what about which ship does not consume fuel when going to sea?

When the ocean-going fishing boat appeared near Nanshan Island, Concubine Li and the others, who had been waiting at home for a long time, looked at the giant that was slowly approaching, and said excitedly: "Wow, what a big boat!"

"Yes, the salvage ship we bought before, compared to this ship, it has become a complete dwarf!"

"Naturally, listening to the ocean, a large distant-water fishing vessel like this can cost two or three salvage vessels lower!"

Before going to Shanghai, Zhuang Haiyang sent two fishing boats to the shipyard in the town for maintenance. At the moment, the only boats docked at the pier are speedboats and yachts. Of course, there are also small fishing boats that Zhuang Haiyang is reluctant to sell.

Considering the future of distant-water fishing vessels, I am afraid that they will often dock at their own docks. As early as before, Zhuang Haiyang spent a lot of money and specially asked the company to dig deep into the wharf. In this way, the wharf can also dock such fishing vessels of several thousand tons.

Correspondingly, the marina of the marine ranch in New Zealand has also been renovated. Even though the ranch's pier was not open to the public, Zhuang Haiyang still dug the water level of the pier so that the fishing boat, which occasionally docked at the ranch, could dock.

There is no surprise in the early stage, Zhuang Haiyang's newly purchased distant-water fishing vessel should carry out fishing operations in the waters near New Zealand. In addition to economic fisheries, distant-water fishing vessels can even go to Antarctic waters to carry out fishing operations.

Of course, when you go fishing in such waters, you also need to consider the cost and risk. It's just that in the waters around Antarctica, fishery resources are naturally quite abundant. The most well-known is undoubtedly the so-called deep-sea king crab.

Specially customized crab pots are naturally also prepared for king crab fishing. If you can catch a large amount of king crab every time you go to sea, whether you sell it in New Zealand or ship it directly back to China, I believe the income will be very high.

As long as there is money to be made, Zhuang Haiyang believes that these comrades-in-arms around him who can endure hardships should not refuse this job. The premise is that they are rewarded for their efforts. And this, Zhuang Haiyang can still guarantee it!
