Binjiang Police Affairs

"""

The few men locked in the port supervision barge's reception room were all workers on the large sand mining vessel. Han Yu really wanted to deal with the owner of the sand mining operation, not give the workers a hard time,

Han Yu talked with Old Jiang for a moment and made sure that none of these workers had a criminal record and that most of them were villagers nearby, and then immediately asked Ma Jintao and Yang Yong to take care of them.

Working on a ship requires a Seaman's Certificate, and those without one are fined ten yuan each.

This is a penalty from the Water Police Division. It used to be only five yuan, but over the years, with inflation and rising prices, the standard for fines has also increased.

One of the crew members was an out-of-towner, working and living in Linghai Waters without having processed a temporary residence permit, and was fined forty yuan according to the regulation, with Old Jiang representing the Development Zone Branch to issue the fine.

The Water Police and Linghai Police take turns in law enforcement, which seems intimidating, but in fact, this amount of fine is nothing to the sand mining boss, Wang Xingchang. He willingly paid them on the spot and didn't even want the receipt for the fines.

Once the police business was finished, Port Supervision continued, with the newly returned senior fellow student and Director Jin taking over.

Watching the senior fellow student issue fines is truly a pleasure, Han Yu pulled out a chair to sit aside and looked forward to it with great anticipation.

Old Jiang couldn't wait to lock the hundred-plus yuan he just fined into the police duty room's safe. He stood at the reception room door like a door god, waiting to hear the delightful sounds of "reset" and "add".

Ma Jintao, Yang Yong, Yang Yuan, and Zhu Baogen had seen this scene nine years ago, and now no matter how many fines Chief Han issues, they remain utterly unflappable.

They truly feel that Old Jiang has not seen the world nor seen much money, and as usual, began to knock off rust and apply paint again.

As long as you're on a ship, there's always endless work to be done.

Like knocking off rust and applying paint, it's not as simple as scraping off the rust and slapping on paint directly; you need to remove all the rust, then sand it, apply the first coat of paint after it's clean, and then apply the second coat after the first one dries...

In addition to knocking off rust and painting, routine checks and maintenance must also be carried out. Dunship and 001 have changed several owners since they were put into use, but there has never been an interruption in daily and monthly checks. The inspection logs over the years have piled up a few feet high.

001 is moored beside the dunship.

Han Xiangning found their clanging and banging in rust removal too annoying and might affect performance. She immediately raised a walkie-talkie: "Captain Ma, Captain Ma, can you lighten it up?"

"Received, received, we'll start with the daily inspection."

"Manager Wang, let's continue, have you brought all the documents like the ship registration certificate, Seaman's Certificates, insurance policies, and safety inspection book?"

"Some have been brought, others... I forgot to pick up some from the company."

"According to regulations, these should all be on the ship. If you didn't bring them, it's the same as not having them."

"Is that so? I don't quite understand."

"How can you be a ship owner if you don't understand anything?"

"I'll pay attention to that in the future. Chief Han, go ahead with the proceedings, I accept the punishment with an open mind!"

The senior fellow student spoke and moved slowly and unhurriedly, exuding an unspoken authority, and looked more and more like a director...

Han Yu felt sincerely that the senior fellow student seemed more like a leader than himself, but then again, the senior fellow student is currently the Full Department Level Director of the Port Supervision Department, while he is only a Deputy Director, and the fact that he was an in-name-only head of the Development Zone Branch, compared to her, she definitely was a leader.

Han Xiangning did not know what Han Yu was thinking. She went through one book after another, checked the certificates presented by the sand mining boss, and then took out legal regulations, blank violation citation forms and a calculator from her briefcase.

Old Jin tacitly opened the work log, gently placed it in front of Han Xiangning, it was filled with the violations found when they detained the sand mining vessels that morning.

"Manager Wang, among the seven crew members on your ship, five do not have Seaman's Certificates, is there any question about this?"

"No, there isn't."

"These are the People's Republic of China Inland River Traffic Safety Management Violation Punishment Regulations, take a look at Chapter 3, items 12 and 14, each unlicensed crew member has to be fined two hundred yuan."

"No need to look, Chief Han, I was wrong, I was definitely wrong!"

"Insufficient crew with Seaman's Certificates, crew members on the ship not holding Seaman's Service Book, according to regulations, the ship owner, which is you, will be fined one thousand five hundred yuan, any objection?"

"No, I accept the punishment with an open mind."

Han Xiangning was caught off guard by how cooperative the sand mining boss was, and found it somewhat unfamiliar. She looked up and continued: "Your ship is almost like a three-no boat, without a ship registration certificate or a ship inspection certificate, and without insurance either. According to regulations, a fine of three hundred yuan will be imposed on the violator on the ship, totaling two thousand one hundred yuan for seven people."

Wang Xingchang held the large cell phone bag, looking embarrassed and said: "I've been too busy recently and never got around to getting the certification. I'll go do it tomorrow. Chief Han, is it possible to do it here with you all?"

"We'll talk about certification later. Let's take care of the violations first."

"Alright."

"Without these certificates and insurance, according to regulations, everyone, which means you, will be fined a consolidated amount of six thousand yuan. Any objections?"

"No!"

"Okay, let's continue."

If all the crew members who violate the law on the river were as cooperative as the sand mining boss in front of us, it would be great. Han Xiangning has never dealt with such smooth punishment before, then she continued: "Not having onboard the required nautical logs, engine logs, the penalty will be one thousand yuan."

Wang Xingchang nodded his head: "Okay."

"Steering equipment not meeting standards, one thousand yuan fine."

"Not equipped with qualified life-saving equipment, one thousand yuan fine."

"Without the approval of the competent authorities, without reporting to the Port Supervision Department, engaging in random operations in the main waterway, imposing a fine of one hundred yuan on the crew members, and detaining certificates, licenses for three months."

"Chief Han, the fine is negotiable, but could you please not detain the certificates?"
