At the confluence of the Yangtze River, Qiantang River and Yongjiang River, there is a special island: an area of only 5.4 square kilometers, which does not produce a drop of oil, but has the title of the world's largest single "oil island", which is Zhoushan Aoshan Island in Zhejiang Province.
In order to ensure the safety of oil storage, there is an emergency rescue iron army, which is stationed here all year round to protect the country's energy security. In September 2016, the Sinochem Zhoushan Team of the National Hazardous Chemicals Emergency Rescue was approved for construction.
As one of the 113 national safety production emergency rescue teams, the Sinochem Zhoushan team adheres to the principle of political team building, reform team building, science and technology team building, talent team building, and team building in accordance with regulations, and actively undertakes the fire fighting of large storage tanks, as well as the rescue tasks of hazardous chemical accidents on land and at sea around the station, with an emergency rescue capacity of 500 kilometers, covering the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and at the same time assisting in the completion of marine rescue, urban waterlogging and other accident disaster rescue.

Since its establishment, the Sinochem Zhoushan team has successfully completed the rescue missions of the "8·20" Yangtze River estuary oil tanker fire, the 5·25 "Ruiyun 25" marine refueling ship fire, and has completed many anti-typhoon "Lekima" and "fireworks" anti-typhoon drainage rescue missions, providing emergency guarantee for the stability of the regional safety production situation.
Iterative upgrade to science and technology for combat effectiveness
As a young emergency rescue team, the Sinochem Zhoushan team adheres to the development of new combat effectiveness and aims at the development and construction in the direction of "smart emergency response and scientific emergency response". "Since the establishment of the team, we have realized that the traditional rescue method can not meet the needs of accident and disaster rescue in the current economic development, and we must ask for combat effectiveness from science and technology, from equipment to combat effectiveness, and from technology and talents." Sun Hongtao, head of the Sinochem Zhoushan team, said.

In this regard, the Sinochem Zhoushan team has comprehensively strengthened the capacity building of "one specialization with multiple abilities and one team with multiple functions". Among them, in terms of science and technology team building, we focus on key equipment such as large-scale storage tank fire extinguishing and marine ship fire extinguishing, and cooperate with scientific research institutions to carry out rescue application research and development, and use new technologies and new equipment to solve the pain and difficulty problems in the rescue process of major accidents. In terms of talent building, we will speed up the establishment of a professional development system for professional teams in emergency rescue for safe production, and cultivate a group of emergency backbone forces with solid theory, excellent skills and rich experience. At present, a group of key command and technical personnel with national commanders, registered fire engineers and other relevant professional qualifications have been trained.
Based on the accident scenario plan system, the Sinochem Zhoushan team independently developed the "Easy Vision" emergency command and auxiliary system to create a visual emergency auxiliary decision-making platform that integrates peacetime desktop deduction and wartime emergency command. At the same time, based on the whole oil and gas industry chain in the Zhejiang Free Trade Zone, the hazardous chemicals industry in East China and the needs of marine emergency rescue, the "Sinochem Emergency" has been developed and constructed, which integrates equipment transportation, marine fire extinguishing and emergency command, which is also the first independently designed and developed hazardous chemicals emergency rescue support ship in mainland China, and is known as the "emergency rescue aircraft carrier" in the East China Sea.
Charge ahead and fulfill the mission of the emergency iron army
Wang Zhouwei, who holds a first-class captain competency certificate for sea vessels, decisively chose to come to the Sinochem Zhoushan team in December 2018 when the "Sinochem Emergency" was just delivered. He said that he has been at sea all year round and knows what it is like to be alone at sea in the event of an accident. "In the past, we used to watch others save us, hoping that we could have the opportunity to help more people."
As the captain of the "Sinochem Emergency", Wang Zhouwei participated in the rescue of the "8·20" accident in 2020. "The accident occurred in a very special location, once it continues to burn, break or explode, it will cause serious blockage to the entire Shanghai and the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and directly lead to the interruption of the domestic and international shipping industry. In that rescue, we ensured the timeliness and professionalism of the ship and the Sinochem Zhoushan team, and saved immeasurable losses. After the rescue, Wang Zhouwei, who was on the front line of the task and had outstanding performance, joined the party.

This year, as soon as the "8·9" Ningbo-Zhoushan Port container ship explosion accident occurred, related topics quickly appeared on the hot search, and the explosion picture and the mushroom cloud rising from the scene made the public pay extra attention. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Emergency Management and the National Safety Production Emergency Rescue Center, the support ship "Sinochem Emergency" immediately carried 25 rescue team members and rescue equipment to the accident site. During the rescue period, the "Sinochem Emergency" worked closely with the land rescue force to continue to attack the accident site in all directions, and cooled the surrounding containers. Finally, at 17:20 the next day, the rescue mission was completed together with the fire and rescue forces.
Xu Xiaojian, assistant to the head of the Sinochem Zhoushan team, said that Ningbo Zhoushan Port is the world's largest port, and the accident ship was loaded with a large number of dangerous goods in transit. Due to the large fire at the scene, there was a risk of secondary explosions and multiple explosions. If the water is shot for a long time, it may also cause a large amount of water to accumulate in the bow of the ship, and there is a risk that the ship will break. "If it is not controlled in time, it is likely to ignite the containers loaded with a large number of dangerous goods in the vicinity."
Exploring the way ahead to stimulate new vitality of the market
As a market-oriented operation of the hazardous chemical national safety production emergency rescue team, since 2018, Sinochem Zhoushan team has focused on emergency services, training services, consulting services (E · · T· C) The operation exploration of the three strategic directions has successively launched the service brands of "Sinochem Emergency" and "Aoshan Academy" in the industry, and its revenue will exceed 100 million yuan in 2024.
In order to do a good job in training services, Aoshan Academy has built a training center and an online training platform for oil storage and transportation, dangerous operations, rope rescue, water rescue, and plan deduction, and has developed a complete training course system, carrying out various online and offline safety emergency training for more than 10,000 people every year. In addition, it has also built graduate workstations and off-campus internship bases with many well-known universities. Up to now, more than 60,000 people have been trained here.
Not long ago, the Ministry of Emergency Management issued the "Letter on Promoting and Exchanging Experience in the Construction and Operation of Chemical Safety Skills Training Bases and Safety Training Spaces for Hazardous Chemicals Enterprises", and Sinochem Emergency was selected as one of the ten exemplary safety training spaces for hazardous chemicals enterprises.
In the Sinochem Emergency Staff Bookstore, the reporter saw a lot of professional books translated and written by employees, which introduced some of the latest advanced emergency rescue technologies and management concepts abroad.
Nowadays, more and more emergency services workers are going out from here. (China Economic Net reporter Wei Jinjin) (Editor in charge: Sun Dan)
