Three Crew Members Were Killed In An Attack On A Thai Cargo Ship, And Navigation In The Strait Of Hormuz Was Blocked.

According to CCTV news: Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak said on the 8th that the three missing crew members on the Thai cargo ship that was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz last month have died.

Sihasak said at a press conference that day that the 20 rescued crew members had returned safely to Thailand. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently learned that the three missing crew members have died. He expressed condolences to the families of the victims.

Sihasak will visit Oman from the 15th to 16th of this month to discuss the issue of navigation of Thai cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz. He said that currently, nine Thai cargo ships, including fertilizer transport ships, are waiting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Thailand hopes that Oman can assist the above-mentioned ships in passing through the Strait during the two-week ceasefire.

On March 11, a Thai cargo ship was attacked while sailing in the Strait of Hormuz. 20 crew members were rescued and sent to Oman for resettlement. Three people were missing.

According to Xinhua News Agency, citing Iranian media reports on the 27th, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued an announcement stating that it advised the return of three container ships that attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz that day.

The announcement stated that U.S. President Trump falsely claimed that "the Strait of Hormuz is open." On that day, three container ships of different nationalities tried to enter the designated licensed ship channel, but turned back after receiving a warning from the Revolutionary Guard Navy.

The announcement stated that the Strait of Hormuz is now closed to any ships "coming from or heading" to ports allied to the United States and Israel, and that any attempt to cross the Strait of Hormuz without authorization will face "severe measures."

According to CCTV news: Thai Prime Minister Anutin said on the 28th that in response to crises such as rising domestic oil prices in Thailand caused by the situation in the Middle East, Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recently actively communicated with relevant countries. According to the current agreement with Iran, Thai oil tankers can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Anutin held a media meeting at the Prime Minister's Office that day to explain the government's measures to deal with oil price fluctuations. He said that the government will focus on promoting diplomatic coordination, energy security, commodity price control and people's livelihood protection in the next four aspects, and called on the public to jointly implement energy-saving measures to cope with it.

Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak said that Thailand has proposed convening a special meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers to discuss options to ease tensions. Thailand still has stable oil reserves, and the government is actively seeking additional energy sources through diplomatic channels.

The United States And Iran Have Taken Action On The Management Of The Strait Of Hormuz, A Summary Of Ship Traffic And Tolls

CCTV reporters learned on April 8, local time, that US President Trump said in an interview that the United States is considering implementing "joint management" with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the move would not only "ensure the safety of waterways" but also prevent other potential threats.

Currently, there is no response from Iran.

A senior Iranian official previously said that before Iran and the United States hold negotiations in Pakistan, the Strait of Hormuz may be opened to a limited extent under Iranian control on the 9th or 10th. The official said: "If the two sides can reach a consensus on the negotiation framework, the Strait of Hormuz may be opened in a 'limited, Iranian-controlled' manner. All ships will be forced to accept the coordination of the Iranian military."

Previously, according to the country's through-train, in response to the issue of whether there are tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, which is widely concerned by foreign media, Iran's ambassador to China, Fazri, said in Beijing on the 8th that Iran has not yet introduced a formal tolling plan and standards, and Iran will make decisions based on the current tolling standards of other waterways in the world and international law.

According to CCTV News: On April 8, local time, the ship tracking website MarineTraffic recorded the activities of the first batch of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz after the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire.

It is understood that the Greek bulk carrier "NJ Earth" passed through the strait at 8:44 GMT, and the "Daytona Beach" flying the Liberian flag passed through the strait at 6:59 GMT, after the ship left Bandar Abbas Port at 5:28 GMT.

Guangzhou Maritime Adds New Supervision Station To Ensure Ship Safety In Pearl River Estuary

China News Service, Guangzhou, April 8 (Guo Jun, Chen Xiuhui, Chen Yuanrui) The "Danpole" supervision station of the Guangzhou Maritime Safety Administration Vessel Traffic Management Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Guangzhou VTS Center") was officially put into trial operation on the 8th, marking a key step in the expansion project of core water supervision in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.

Relying on the technical support of the country's first purely domestically produced Vessel Traffic Management System (VTS), the supervision station will realize regular and precise supervision of complex waters such as the Dangan Waterway and Wailingding in the Pearl River Estuary, and build a solid safety defense line for the high-quality development of shipping in the Greater Bay Area.

As the water transportation hub of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Pearl River Estuary is one of the waters with the densest ship traffic and the most complex navigation environment in the world. The average daily ship traffic exceeds 5,000 vessels. It undertakes the core functions of cross-border logistics and passenger transportation in the Greater Bay Area. It is the only expressway in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. In terms of passenger ships, the daily average daily traffic exceeds 200, and the daily average number exceeds 400 during the Spring Festival and summer island tour peak periods. Among them, the second warning zone of the traffic separation system of Dangan Waterway is connected to the traffic separation section of East Lammao Waterway in Hong Kong, and the navigation environment and traffic flow are more complex. The launch of the "Dangang" monitoring station will carry out normalized VTS management and control of the Dangan Water Channel Traffic Separation System, Guangdong's main coastal public waterways, and recommended fishing routes in Dangan waters, focusing on ensuring the safety of key vessels such as high-speed passenger ships, cross-border freighters, and liquefied gas ships in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.

In the past, my country's coastal VTS system construction relied on foreign technology, and there were potential risks to the security of core equipment and data. This situation will completely change in 2023 – the Pearl River Estuary VTS new system upgrade and transformation project has passed the delivery acceptance. The country's first purely domestic VTS system adapted to high-traffic and extremely complex navigation environments has been officially launched, breaking the foreign technology monopoly. The system adopts the "19 stations and 2 centers" architecture, integrates the latest radar signal processing technology, and successfully overcomes industry problems such as stable multi-target tracking and multi-source data fusion display. Its comprehensive performance has reached the international advanced level, and some core indicators surpass similar foreign products. Feng Suoqi, director of the Guangzhou VTS Center, told reporters that after the system realized the localization of the entire chain, it not only solved the "stuck neck" problem of the core technology, but also greatly improved the compatibility with domestic radars, and the transmission quality and operating efficiency were significantly improved.

With the help of technological innovation, the waters of the Pearl River Estuary have achieved blind coverage of radar, very high frequency (VHF), and automatic identification system (AIS) signals, achieving the full-chain supervision goal of "visible, responsive, and manageable". Since the launch of the localized system, the Guangzhou VTS Center has issued more than 750,000 safety reminders and carried out more than 25,000 transportation arrangements. The incidence rate of water traffic accidents in the jurisdiction has continued to decline, providing safety guarantee for the Greater Bay Area's annual port throughput of 1.5 billion tons and 75 million TEU container transportation.

"With the advancement of capacity expansion, the dynamic tracking capabilities of the Pearl River Estuary VTS have been further enhanced. Key ships such as cargo ships and liquefied gas ships that were originally outside the VTS regulatory coverage area and entering and exiting Hong Kong will all be included in the regulatory vision of the Guangzhou VTS Center." The person in charge of the Guangzhou VTS Center introduced to reporters. (over)
