Ferry Company No. 11
" No. 11" No. 11" No. 10" is 30 years old this year
In the past 0 years, it has transported countless citizens and tourists from the ferry terminal, the first wharf, Songyu wharf, Songyu wharf, Gulangyu Sanqiutian wharf, and Neicuo wharf.
, but it has always been low-key and calm
Its story, do you want to listen to it?

Captain Weng Huihuang wiped the bridge, clamped the navigation log, and slowly walked out of the ship's side. He is the last captain of the No. 11 ship. In the past three years, he has driven it to ride the wind and waves. It takes him back and checks its equipment, wipes and flushes, which has been the routine for three years.
Coincidentally,
60-year-old Captain Weng Huihuang
also retired with "Ship No. 11".
"Ship No. 11" is the last ship that Captain Weng has been working at Xiamen Ferry Company since 1976. He has retired in recent years and has been rehired because of the need for the company. "Ship No. 11" is also old and strong. Some ships have retired for 10 or 20 years because of insufficient maintenance. However, because of careful care by several captains, they have received careful maintenance and maintenance from the company. They have served for 30 years. This is equivalent to rehiring after retirement!
It can be said that "Ship No. 11" is the creator of the longest record of ferry company ship " service" ~
"Ship No. 11" has a cycle of maintenance, and the first-level maintenance is monthly and the second-level maintenance is once every six months. Level 3 is once a year. The ship's main engine will be overhauled every 5,000 hours of operation. During these 30 years, the machine has been replaced several times as it gets old, which ensures its "good body". Just like an old man, oil and water roads are like blood vessels. Although they are old, their hearts are healthy and cardiovascular health is healthy.
Wash the bottom once every six months (the bottom is below the water line), and the bottom of the boat is attached by oysters and rainbows (that is, green shells). This requires shoveling and digging, and then paint and maintaining. If the boat is not washed, the boat will have great resistance to travel, which will consume fuel and drag time when driving. Of course, I have never encountered such a problem in "Ship No. 11", and there are too many people who love it.
Captain Weng Huihuang came to work at Xiamen Ferry Company in 1976 and passed the captain exam in 1987. The past 42 years were in a flash. Weng Huihuang regards the ship as his second home, and the ship's facilities and equipment are particularly carefully maintained, so when the ship was retired the day before yesterday, the ship's appearance was still very good. Captain Weng has implemented the maintenance plan weekly formulated by
. For example, the stainless steel guardrail will be corroded by the sea breeze. He wiped it with specialized use of stainless steel oil and soaked with cloth.
Because "old"
"Ship No. 11" is not so easy to drive
Weng Huihuang said:
At that time, this ship was considered a third generation ship. did not have navigation aid instruments such as electronic radar. It relied on Luojing to help . When encountering an intersection ship, you have to use the sound number , and the whistle sounded three times, which was quite reversed. Two sounds indicate that the command ship turns left and instructs the commanded ship to turn left. One sound means that the commanded ship turns right and instructs the commanded ship to turn right.
Luo Jing
But now it is much easier to avoid each other than before. Just like human communication, there are navigation aid equipment. Using navigation aid instruments such as AIS, you can identify the other party's ship name before departure, and you can communicate with the other party in advance how to go.

"Ship 11" has witnessed the development and changes of ferry companies over the past 30 years
988, yesterday 30 years ago
" 11 "Ship 11" was completed in Chaozhou Shipyard. at that time had the best design and function at that time. As a representative of the latest generation of steel ferry ships on the Xiagu route in the 1980s, has a capacity of 800 passengers, and it refreshed the ship type record at that time. has a double-layer design and juxtaposition of elegant seat space. Cooking melon seeds and reading newspapers inside is the collective memory of people in that era.
Ten years later, in 1998, the "Ship No. 11" of
transferred to the route from Xiamen First Wharf to Haicang Songyu Wharf.
At that time, the Songyu route was the main channel for picking up and dropping off the island. Ship No. 11 ushered in the "glorious years" of his career , which was transported safely and was often full.

On the ship, the number of crew members was greater than that of passengers. It cheered up. Under the arrangement of the ferry company, it started to be a "part-time"
It has been a "chartering boat" for the route from the First Pier to the Xiamen Shipyard, an "overtime boat" for the morning rush hour from the Lao Sanqiutian Pier to the ferry terminal, and a "gasket" for small ferries. With the arrangement of the ferry company, the "loneliest days" have also become fuller.

As the only day tourists outside the cruise terminal enter the island pier. At the peak stage, Songyu Pier plays a diversion role, and the No. 11 ship also shoulders the heavy responsibility and returns to the crowd.
The passengers on the ship have changed from citizens to tourists from all over the world. This excitement has also lit up the once deserted northwest of Gulangyu Island with the ship. During those days of riding the wind and waves, the lights of Neicuo and the lights of the ship intersected each other, swaying into songs.
set sail that year, Lujiang was full of smoke, and the water waves were silent
left the road today, tall buildings on both sides of Lujiang were rising, neon lights were like dreams
Thank you for the memories and experiences that "Ship No. 11" brings us!
