Nandu News Reporter Jiang Zhen On December 1, the Pearl River Navigation Administration of the Ministry of Transport held a press conference on the implementation of the new version of the "Implementation Plan for the Linear Operation of Passenger Rolling Transport in Qiongzhou Strait" (hereinafter referred to as the "New Version of the Implementation Plan"). The new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents have further optimized and innovated the liner operation model of passenger and rolling transportation by adopting ship service star rating and promoting excellent ships, including multiple flights and multiple transportation. The new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents have further optimized and innovated the liner operation model of passenger and rolling transportation in Qiongzhou Strait . The trial operation has achieved remarkable results in one month. The proportion of five-star and four-star ships has accounted for more than 70%, which is an average shorter than before.

Ship crossing time has been further shortened
It is understood that with the continuous acceleration of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port , the integration of port and shipping resources in Qiongzhou Strait has made important progress, and the passenger and roller transportation market structure has undergone major changes. The original liner operation implementation plan can no longer fully adapt to the new development requirements. In order to better serve the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and adapt to the requirements of integrated port and shipping development, the Pearl River Navigation Administration has optimized and innovated the operation model of passenger and roller transport in the Qiongzhou Strait. Based on the "Implementation Plan for Passenger and Rolling Transport in Qiongzhou Strait" issued in 2019, it revised and issued the new version of the "Implementation Plan" and the supporting documents "Qiongzhou Strait Passenger and Rolling Transport Annual Shift Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Temporary Plan"), "Qiongzhou Strait Passenger and Rolling Transport Evaluation Management Measures" (hereinafter referred to as the "Evaluation Management Measures") and " Qiongzhou Strait Passenger and Rolling Transport Linear Operation Emergency Transport Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Emergency Transport Plan"). Starting from November 1, 2022, a one-month trial operation was carried out and officially started on December 1.
reporters learned at the meeting that in the first month of trial operation of the new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents, the average waiting time for passenger and rolling transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait has been shortened by 5 minutes, the average navigation time has been reduced by 10 minutes, and the average overall crossing time has been shortened by 15 minutes. It is understood that the new version of the Implementation Plan and supporting documents clearly require that the navigation time of passenger and rolling ships on the main routes of Haikou Xinhai Port and Xuwen Nanshan Port shall not exceed 100 minutes, and shall gradually be shortened to 70 minutes, and shall not exceed 120 minutes, and shall gradually be shortened to 80 minutes. At the same time, the new version of the "Implementation Plan" not only clarifies the ship's schedule, but also clarifies the arrival time, and clarifies the requirements of "ships must be dispatched to the point of arrival" for ship loading.
new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents have greatly facilitated the travel of people across the sea and responded to the "ship crash" problem of "passing ships" that is of concern to the social concern. Passengers and drivers across the sea can choose high-star ships with small age, good conditions and excellent service at any time. Under normal circumstances, they basically achieve "going as you go"; by constraining the ship's navigation time, loading time and arrival time, the right-hand rate of transport ships and the punctual rate of and have been significantly improved, the time of crossing the sea by ships has been further shortened, and the people have been able to cross the sea faster.

vehicles are waiting for orderly entry into the port.
Innovate the competition mechanism and advocate the promotion of excellent ships and multiple runs
Relevant person in charge of the Pearl River Navigation Administration introduced that in January this year, Qiongzhou Strait (Hainan) Ferry Transportation Co., Ltd. was officially listed and operated. In addition to railway transportation routes, 49 ships on the north and south sides of Hainan and Guangdong have achieved unified operation and unified dispatch. Previously, the situation of competition between different shipping companies on the north and south sides of the north and south sides of the north and south sides no longer exists. While improving the efficiency of transportation organization, it also brings the problem of market vitality decline, and it is necessary to innovate and improve the competition mechanism. How to better innovate the competition mechanism and continuously revitalize the vitality and vitality of the passenger and rolling transportation market in the Qiongzhou Strait has become an urgent problem. To this end, the Pearl River Navigation Administration found through in-depth analysis of the current status of passenger and rolling transportation capacity in the Qiongzhou Strait, operating organization, etc. that the optimization of the ship operation organization and the number of ships carried out is imminent.
The above-mentioned person in charge pointed out that after the integration of Qiongzhou Strait shipping resources has been completed, 49 ships have achieved unified operation and unified dispatch. In the past, in order to balance the interests of different shipping companies, the rules for each ship to arrange the same voyage is no longer inevitable. "Therefore, we must innovate the competition mechanism, transform the original competition among shipping companies into competition with ships as a unit, give priority to serving high-star ships, and minimize the participation of low-star ships in the voyage. For example, in the current 140 flight period, there are only more than 20 ships in the voyage period. Through this method of excellent ships running and transporting, a scientific internal distribution incentive mechanism is established with enterprises to guide orderly competition among ships, so that the passenger and rolling transportation market will continue to revitalize and vibrate."
At the same time, in order to improve the matching degree of shift period and transportation needs, the new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents give enterprises more autonomy and flexibility in shift period adjustment. Under the overall implementation of the shift schedule, enterprises can temporarily work overtime, replace or cancel shift schedules under certain conditions. The new version of the "Implementation Plan" also clarifies that the "Ship Period Table" is formulated by enterprises, and the Pearl River Navigation Administration is responsible for formulating the "Ship Period Plan". Judging from the trial operation situation, the flexible adjustment of the flight period makes the flight more in line with transportation needs, which can not only reduce transportation costs but also avoid waste of resources.
Qiongzhou Strait passenger and rolling transport ships are operated in different service levels
reporters learned from the press conference that the biggest highlight of this new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents is that they divide the service levels of the ship. In September this year, a third-party evaluation agency organized experts to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the safety management, operating conditions, service quality of 49 ships. According to the comprehensive evaluation score, the ship service level is divided into five star ratings, and the number of ships in each star rating shall not exceed 20% of the total number of ships. The top ten ships scored were rated as five-star ships, followed ship star ratings and so on. The higher the star rating of the ship, it means that the ship has better performance, more solid safety management, more complete service facilities, more comfortable ship environment, and more thoughtful ship service.
Relevant person in charge of the Pearl River Navigation Administration pointed out that "After the implementation of the new version of the "Implementation Plan" and supporting documents, the proportion of five-star and four-star ships has increased, and the proportion of low-star ships has decreased. During the trial operation period, the 140 flight schedule was mainly implemented, and five-star and four-star ships have more than 100 voyages per day, accounting for more than 70%. In addition, due to the improvement of operational efficiency, the number of operating ships invested has decreased, which has increased the turnover rate of dock berth , reduced the time of ship entry and exit channel, and reduced the risk of ship drifting at sea. At the same time, the operation of low-star old ships has decreased, which has further reduced the safety risks of maritime navigation."
reporter also learned that the new version of the "Emergency Delivery Plan" further optimized emergency delivery and enhanced coordination and linkage. The emergency transportation situation in the old version of the plan is launched based on the control factors of the number of vehicles and passengers waiting for ferry, and the number of passengers is optimized and expanded to seven situations, including the surge in the number of passengers, the impact of bad weather, poor channel in the port, congestion in and out of the port, ship drifting, ticket sales system failure, and emergency response to special circumstances, and clear transportation measures in various situations.
