In order to further regulate the order of navigation and berthing of ships in the navigable waters under the jurisdiction of Gaoming maritime department, improve navigation efficiency and ensure water traffic safety, according to the relevant provisions of laws, regulations and normative documents such as the regulations of the people's Republic of China on the administration of traffic safety in inland rivers, the rules of the people's Republic of China on collision avoidance in inland rivers, the provisions on safe navigation of ships under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Maritime Bureau, etc Relevant requirements for berthing are sorted out as follows
1、 Sailing
The waters under the jurisdiction of the Gaoming Marine Department belong to the tidal reach. Affected by the tidal current, the water level shows tidal changes, but the ebb tide time is long, the rise tide time is short, and the ebb tide difference is small. The technical level of the channel is class I and class IV (water depth of 3.5m, width of 130m and bending radius of 580m), and the maintenance level is class III (water depth of 2.5m, width of 50m and bending radius of 360m).
（1） Shiyantou water area is the confluence of Xijiang River and Cangjiang river. The flow in flood season is complex, with vortex, soaking and cross flow. When passing by, the ship shall strictly implement the regulations on the meeting of the confluence waters of trunk and tributary, strengthen the lookout and pass cautiously. Ships sailing from the main stream of Xijiang River should steer around as far as possible. Ships sailing from Xijiang River to Cangjiang River should avoid ships sailing from the tributaries of Cangjiang River; When ships with the same flow direction travel, the main stream avoids the ships of tributaries; When driving in different directions, the counter current shall avoid the downstream. Ships entering the West River should slow down carefully.
（2） From shiyantou water area to Gaoming bridge water area, there are many ships entering and leaving the port, which is the accident prone water area under the jurisdiction of Gaoming maritime department. When ships entering and leaving the wharf waters cross, they should pay attention to avoid ships traveling along the channel; When the ship is passing by, it should strengthen the lookout and drive carefully. It must strictly follow the principle of driving to the right, and pay special attention to the crossing of some ships due to the choice of channel.
（3） From Gaoming bridge to Taiping Shatou water area, as the three bridges of Gaoming bridge are side by side, when sailing into Taiping Shatou right channel through Gaoming bridge, attention must be paid to avoiding ships traveling along the channel. The upstream water area of Gaoming bridge is the fork estuary formed by taipingsha auxiliary channel and main channel. Affected by the embankment of taipingsha main channel, the water flows into the river to the pier of Gaoming bridge, and the three bridges of Gaoming bridge are similar, which will produce corridor effect and turbulence in flood season. Ships passing by must pay attention to the change of water flow, strengthen lookout, operate carefully, select the course as soon as possible, adjust the ship body and drive in the same direction with the water flow. The shoals at the head and tail of Taiping sand are submerged during the flood period. If the ship is greedy for slow flow and pulls aside, it is prone to grounding accidents, which should be paid special attention. The channels on both sides of Taiping sand form the fork estuary waters of sand head and sand tail. When passing by, ships shall strictly implement the regulations on meeting in the fork estuary waters, and the crossing ship can cross only when it does not hinder the navigation of other ships; For a ship traveling in the same direction, if there is another ship on the starboard side of the ship, it shall make way for the other ship. When traveling in different directions, the countercurrent ship shall avoid the downstream ship.
（4） Coordinates of Pingsha ferry water area: 112 ° 53 ′. 1 ″ E / 22 ° 54 ′. 57 ″ n, 112 ° 53 ′. 9 ″ E / 22 ° 54 ′. 34 ″ n, 112 ° 53 ′. 12 ″ E / 22 ° 54 ′. 31 ″ n, 112 ° 53 ′. 14 ″ E / 23 ° 54 ′. 56 ″ n are connected to the water area between the four points in turn. In the water area of the ferry (within 150 meters from the upstream to the downstream of the ferry), it is prohibited for ships to turn around, overtake or run in parallel, and it is prohibited for ships to anchor.
（5） Fuwan bridge: two main navigation holes, one-way navigation. The clearance height of the main navigation hole is 22m and the clearance width is 180m. In the water area of the bridge area (within 400m upstream to 200m downstream), it is forbidden for ships to turn around, overtake or run in parallel, and it is forbidden for ships to anchor.
（6） In bozijiao water area, according to the regulations on safe navigation under the jurisdiction of Guangdong maritime safety administration, the bozijiao leg belongs to narrow and curved leg. The water flow here is complex and close to Fuwan anchorage, so the navigation risk of ships is high. When the ship is passing through the place, it shall strengthen the lookout and sound a long sound before turning. During night navigation, it can shine a searchlight over the sky to attract the attention of other ships. It is necessary to strengthen the watch of vhf16 channel. It is forbidden for ships to turn around, overtake or run side by side in narrow and curved sections, and it is forbidden to work on the shore.
2、 Berthing
According to Article 24 of the regulations of the people's Republic of China on the administration of traffic safety on inland rivers: ships shall berth at docks, berths or anchorages, berthing areas and operation areas announced according to law; In case of emergency, if it is necessary to berth in other waters, it shall report to the maritime administrative agency. When berthing, a ship shall display signals in accordance with the provisions, and shall not hinder or endanger the safety of other ships in navigation, berthing or operation. When a ship berths, a crew member sufficient to ensure the safety of the ship shall be kept on duty.
