To enhance maritime supervision and regional coordination, MSAs of Tianjin, Liaoning, Hebei, and Shandong jointly initiated the “2025 Special Campaign for Preventing Ship Pollution in the Bohai Rim” via an online conference on July 13. The campaign aims to strengthen pollution control during sensitive periods and shift governance toward proactive prevention.

Under the unified action plan, MSAs of Bohai rim will regulate critical operations including tank cleaning, bunkering, pollutant reception, shore power application, and energy consumption reporting. A “Five-Coordination” mechanism will enable real-time data sharing, defect rectification, joint pollution response, risk control, and coordinated deployment of cleanup resources across the region.

The MSA Tianjin emphasized that this marks the first full-scale integration of pollution prevention data and operations in the Bohai Rim. Moving forward, the four MSAs will leverage complementary strengths to advance waterway safety governance, supporting China’s national strategies for transportation development and ecological civilization.
