The scientific research ship "Experiment 3" sets sail for the Western Pacific

China News Service, Guangzhou, November 4 (Xu Qingqing, Chen Jiancheng) At 14:00 on the 4th, the river surface at the Nizhoutou anchorage in Guangzhou Port was open, and ships were moving in an orderly manner. With a melodious whistle blowing, the "Experiment 3" comprehensive scientific research ship slowly left the anchorage and rushed to the Western Pacific waters to start a new round of comprehensive scientific research missions.

According to reports, the "Experiment 3" is a comprehensive ocean-going scientific research vessel independently built by my country. It has long been responsible for major scientific survey tasks such as the marine environment, ecological resources, and air-sea interactions in the South China Sea, the Western Pacific, and the Indian Ocean, and provides solid support for my country's deep-sea ocean scientific research work.

"This scientific research voyage of ours will focus on the key waters of the Western Pacific to carry out multi-dimensional mission research. The window period for maritime observation cannot be replicated, which puts forward extremely high requirements for ships to arrive on time and operate on schedule." Li Wei, captain of the "Experiment 3", said: "Affected by the super typhoon Qiangpi, the voyage was forced to be postponed, leaving us with a very tight operation window period."

In order to minimize the impact of shipping delays caused by typhoons, Huangpu Laogang Customs, a subsidiary of Huangpu Customs, proactively provides forward-looking services to accurately meet the outbound needs of scientific research ships. Master the ship's sailing plan in advance, arrange dedicated personnel to track the whole process, and provide "one-stop" processing and operation of ships to international transportation, renewal of ship health control measures exemption certificates, exit verification and supervision, and other full-chain services. We will continue to compress operating links, shorten ships' waiting time in port, and ensure the smooth sailing of scientific expedition voyages with zero delay.

It is reported that Huangpu Customs has been focusing on the customs clearance guarantee needs of ocean-going scientific research ships, and has continued to optimize the customs clearance supervision model of scientific research ships. It has completed the entry and exit supervision procedures for 11 scientific research ships such as "Experiment 1" and "Ocean Geology No. 6". The customs said that it will continue to use precise and efficient port supervision services to fully escort my country's marine scientific research into the deep blue and achieve high-quality development.
