On the afternoon of July 15,2021,LinXiaofeng, member of the party leadership group of GZMC, led a team of five people to board the "Chang'ankou" ro-ro ship in Nansha auto dock. The purpose of the trip was to explain the upcoming Maritime Traffic Safety Law to the crew.
The speaker, Judge YinZhonglie mainly explained the Maritime Traffic Safety Law from four aspects: the background of the revision of the law ,the great significance of the amendment, the eight newly added legal systems, the six newly enriched legal systems of the law. Meanwhile, based on his years of experience in the trial of ship collision cases, Yin reminded the crew to avoid common mistakes during ship navigation, such as negligence, failure to use safe speed, unreasonable evasion measures, failure to hold a valid work certificate and other ship driving mistakes.
The representative of the shipping company XuJialiu, Captain Yang Yongsheng, and all the crew attended the popularizing-law education. They said the activity was a rare opportunity to communicate with maritime judges face-to-face, and it also helped to raise the crew’s awareness of maritime traffic safety. They added that this event not only met the legal needs of frontline seafarers, but also promoted the healthy development of the shipping industry.
Going to the island and boarding the ship to carry out law popularization education is one of the GZMC’s "I do practical things for the masses" projects . Since March, we have organized judges to conduct “Civil Code” knowledge publicity on Guishan Island in Zhuhai and “Renjian Tangshan” container ship in Shantou Port, which have been widely welcomed by local fishermen and crews. At the same time, we carried out activities such as party building and co-building with relevant units, cooperation mechanisms improvement, to realize early warning and detection of conflicts and disputes such as the crew’s wages, fishermen’s lives, personal injury compensation, and port & ship market risks. By these way, these problems can be dealt with as soon as possible, maritime disputes can be resolved from the source of litigation and did great jobs for masses.
