118 Coast Patrol Festival! The Coast Guard Central Division deployed the Third Coast Patrol Team to detect violations and rescued 4 cases in total.

Yesterday was the "118 Coast Patrol Day". The Central Coast Patrol Department deployed the Third Coast Patrol Team to stick to their posts and responded to four cases, including fishing violations, rescue of people falling overboard, search and rescue of missing people, and buoyant failure and stranding, demonstrating the coast patrol's ability to protect maritime security around the clock.

Yesterday morning, the Lugang Mobile Patrol Station used the "Smart Coastal Surveillance System around the Island" to detect a fishing boat illegally engaged in gillnet operations about 1 mile offshore from the Changbin Industrial Zone. In order to protect the marine ecology, the patrol officers immediately completed the storage of surveillance images, tracked and controlled the ship's navigation dynamics with radar, and strengthened identity and cabin security after the ship entered the port. Subsequently, they wrote to the competent authority, Changhua County Government, to impose sanctions according to law.

At noon, the Longfeng Security Inspection Station received a report that two people were riding a fishing float that capsized and fell into the sea outside Miaoli Longfeng Fishing Port. They immediately cooperated with local fishermen to go to sea for rescue, successfully rescued the two people and towed the float back to the port.

In the evening, the Lunwei Bay Security Inspection Station took the initiative to learn that a fishing float was trapped in the oyster shelf area of ​​Ji'an Waterway due to engine failure. It immediately launched a rescue operation together with the firefighting unit and successfully rescued the owner of the boat. Except for a slight hypothermia, there was no serious problem. Both rescues were successfully completed and everyone was safe.

In addition, the Tide Gate Security Inspection Office received a report of missing people on the 7th, and continued to work with firefighting and civil rescue groups to find the remains of the missing people on the shore of the Changbin Industrial Zone on the morning of the 8th. Because the terrain of the wave-absorbing block was about 5 meters lower during the high tide, the air crew helicopter failed to hoist it three times. Finally, in conjunction with the low tide in the afternoon, the coast guard and fire fighters jointly entered the water, used hydraulic spreaders to remove the wave-absorbing block, and successfully moved the body ashore.

The Third Coast Patrol stated that the coast patrol service will not stop due to holidays, and will continue to strengthen maritime law enforcement and rescue effectiveness through technological equipment, cross-agency cooperation and public-private collaboration. The public is also reminded to pay attention to their own safety when engaging in maritime activities. In case of emergency, please call the 118 coast patrol service hotline immediately.
