The Chinese transport authority has made a commitment to further improve maritime navigation service.
Vice Minister He Jianzhong spoke on the Maritime Day of China.
“We will further provide sound facilities and navigation information to guarantee safe navigation, especially for the international shipping routes in the South China Sea. We will also enhance our cooperation on maritime rescue in this region, to better respond to emergencies and fulfill our responsibilities of rescuing the ships in need.”
In recent years, China has been working actively with neighboring countries on safety navigation.
According to data reported by China Maritime Safety Administration, China has rescued over 3,300 Chinese and other nationals in the South China Sea since 2013.
Maritime Day in China falls every July 11.
This year’s theme is “building a safe and efficient navigation route for the development of the maritime Silk Road.”
