Why did the China coast guard ship sink?

According to the news of Guangzhou Port Authority on April 20 19, at April 20 18 13: 30, China Guangdong Electric 57 exported from Shajiao C Factory of Guangzhou Port collided with the marine police enforcement ship "China Marine Police 3062". Why can a marine police ship be sunk by a cargo ship?

China Marine Police 3062, formerly Marine Police 262, once performed official duties in Huangyan Island. 3062 has a displacement of only 350 tons, diesel power and cruising speed 13 knots. It is the lightest of the marine police vessels. Compared with the marine police ship 3469 with a displacement of 4600 tons, it is really a drop in the bucket. However, let's look at the cargo ship that caused the accident. Guangdong Electric 57 cargo ship has a displacement of 35,000 tons and a full load of 50,000 tons, which is about 50 times that of the marine police ship 3062. Don't mention the marine police ship, the average aircraft carrier collided with it, and the results were very miserable.

In addition, it should be noted that the marine police ship 3062 was a meritorious ship. 20 16, 12, a Philippine youth group tried to land on Huangyan Island in the South China Sea of China, but it was intercepted by China coast guard vessels (including 3062), which made its attempt to land on the island fail. The incident of marine police vessels has drawn our attention to the development of marine police vessels in China. In recent years, some retired frigates have joined the ranks of the marine police. For example, Marine Police 3 1239 used to be a frigate. The ship was built according to the technical requirements of the navy: it can withstand the test of artillery fire and even missile fire, which is the ability that warships must have. Its participation has greatly enhanced the ability of China Marine Police to safeguard China's maritime rights and interests.

With the rapid development of China's shipbuilding capacity, over-tonnage marine police vessels have also appeared. For example, Marine Police 390 1 was called "monster" by foreign media. Its displacement reaches 15000 tons, which is close to the 055 large destroyer being built by the navy. It is 50% larger than the US Navy's Arleigh-Burke class destroyer. In one fell swoop, it surpassed the world's largest patrol boat-Japan's Fukushima-class marine protection boat and became the world's largest marine police boat.

The maximum speed of the marine police vessel 390 1 can reach 25 knots. The main guns are 76mm rapid-fire guns, 2 30mm machine guns and 212.7mm anti-aircraft guns. It also has a helicopter platform and hangar, which can carry large helicopters of straight -8 class. The helicopter can make the operation scope of the law enforcement ship move from plane to three-dimensional. If we set out from Hainan Island, we can reach any sea area in the South China Sea within four days, which greatly improves the efficiency of China in resolving disputes over maritime rights and interests. China National Marine Police was established on 20 13. Prior to this, China's maritime law enforcement agencies were China Sea Patrol and China Fishery Administration. China Patrol and China Fishery Administration are both non-governmental organizations. Among them, sea surveillance personnel wear uniforms and receive light weapons training. Some people have served in the army.

China Marine Police is a maritime frontier force and a part of China's "armed forces". Like the PLA, they also have ranks. As a group, they are called officers and soldiers. Unlike China Patrol and China Fishery Administration, the Border Coast Guard, the "old" China Coast Guard, has the right to arrest and accuse people suspected of committing crimes. With China's increasing attention to maritime rights and interests, the marine police also play an irreplaceable role in safeguarding China's maritime rights and interests. The size of the marine police vessels they are equipped with plays a decisive role in actual operations, especially in the South China Sea. Numerous examples have proved that the larger the tonnage, the more advantageous it is in the process of law enforcement of marine police vessels. Although Marine Police 3062 sank, we believe that more Marine Police 390 1 boats will join in.
