Construction and development of China transportation emergency management system
Captain Song Jiahui, Chief Safety Supervisor, Ministry of Transport, PR China
Transportation is the fundamental, pioneer and service industry in the national economy and the lifeline of e鄄
conomic growth and social development of a country, which is closely linked with everybody's life. After the
reform and opening of China, the transportation has developed by leaps and bounds, which has made tremen鄄
dous contributions to social production, modernization construction and improvement of living standard. How鄄
ever, with the rapid development of transportation of our country, the frequency and scale of various types of
emergencies has influenced the transportation worse. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport has been thinking
highly of and enhancing the construction of China transportation emergency management system as well as
improving the ability of dealing with emergencies in order to secure the safety of human life, property and en鄄
vironment and to maintain traffic order and social stability at full stretch.
Captain Song Jiahui is a Doctor of Engineering and professor-level senior en鄄
gineer. He is now the Chief Safety Superintendent of the Ministry of Transport of
P. R. China.
During his 30-odd years of maritime career, Capt Song has worked as Captain
and Director of China Ocean Shipping Corporation (COSCO), and later as
Deputy Director General in the Harbor Superintendence Office of Dalian,
Deputy Director General in China Harbor Superintendence Administration
(HSA) and China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) before he worked as
Director General of China Rescue and Salvage (CRS). Capt .Song has been the
first Captain of China's first VLCC tanker "Qian Jin Hu".
He has rich experiences and high-level management skills in the fields such as
traffic safety supervision, life saving, property recovery, wreck removal, marine
firefighting, spill clean-up and safety accident investigation. He has directed the
rescue and salvage missions following the catastrophic 5/7 Air Crash in 1999
and 11/24 accident in 2002 in China. He is also the man who guided and ac鄄
celerated the sweeping reform of China's rescue and salvage sector in 2003 with
the support of the Ministry of Transport and the State Council of China. More鄄
over, he has directed and participated the formulation of China's oil spill re鄄
sponse plans, the establishment of China's oil spill compensation mechanism,

Wreck and Rescue--The Historic Links between the Pursuit of Salvage and the Salvation of Life
Mr. Clayton Evans, Commanding Officer, Canadian Coast Guard, Author of "Rescue at Sea"
Since the beginnings of man's forays onto the great rivers, inland seas and oceans of the world, calamity has occurred and wreck
has been the result. The quest to recover the spoils of such wreck is as old a profession as seafaring itself. Although the pursuit
has for the most part been to recover both ship and cargo, the salvation of life has always been a natural adjunct of this objective.
As will be discussed in the lecture, the origins and development of organized lifesaving services internationally, from the earliest
known entities along the Yangtze River in China, to the establishment of the local societies in Europe that followed, owes much to
those who wished to protect both property and life.
Clayton Evans is a historian, author and mariner specializing in the international history of lifesaving at sea. In 2003 he wrote
Rescue at Sea; an International History of Lifesaving, Coastal Rescue Craft and Organizations published by Conway Maritime
Press (UK) and the Naval Institute Press (USA) and has written several articles for both academic and special-interest journals
on the subject of international humanitarianism at sea in subsequent years.
A mariner by profession, he has been involved in maritime rescue for over 30 years and con鄄
tinues to serve as a Commanding Officer on Canadian Coast Guard shore-based rescue craft
along the coast of British Columbia. During his tenure with the CCG he has also served as a
rescue coordinator at JRCC Victoria, as a SAR instructor at the Canadian rigid hull inflatable
(RHIOT) training center (Pacific) at Bamfield, B.C. and as a ship's officer in the seagoing
fleet.
His research interests stem from a degree in history from the University of Victoria, Canada
and a Master of Laws (Maritime) from the University of Wales, Cardiff, UK, where he special鄄
ized in the international law of salvage.
International collaboration....Changing the seascape of marine search and rescue
Mr. Bruce Reid, CEO, International Maritime Rescue Federation(IMRF)
Across the globe marine search and rescue organisations are working on initiatives, building capability and finding ways to reduce
the number of fatalities on the world's waterways. Harnessing the knowledge and finding effective methods of pooling and dissemi鄄
nating the information is one of the key roles of the International Maritime Rescue Federation.
IMRF CEO Bruce Reid presentation will look at current trends and developments in the world maritime rescue sector including
the new challenges created by a global economy under pressure.
As part of the presentation he will also summarise some of the key projects the IMRF is work鄄
ing on through the collaboration of its member organisations to address some common chal鄄
lenges including:
·Mass Rescue
·Rescue Boat Guidelines
·Education and awareness

The Current Situation and Development of the Cross-Strait Search and Rescue Collaboration
Mr.Yin Liusheng, Secretary General of Chinese Search and Rescue Association
Mr.Cheng-Wen, Liu Chief, Disaster Prevention and Protection Section, Coast Guard Administration
In accordance with the 2nd paragraph of Article 98 of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,1982, the maritime agen鄄
cies and the coastguard authorities of coastal States have signed mutual regional arrangements cooperate with neighboring States
for establishing, operating and maintaining an adequate and effective search and rescue service regarding safety on and over the
sea. With the growth of the cross-strait shipping, fishery and recreational activities, the collaboration of the cross-strait search and
rescue authorities will play a crucial role in minimizing the loss of life and property damage and maintaining the maritime safety.
Therefore, the mechanism of collaboration of the cross-strait search and rescue authorities should be established, such as hosting
the SAR drill in turn, regular interaction and exchange, and setting the emergency contact person. Both sides should reinforce this
mechanism to reach the goal of mutual assistance and for the humanitarian purposes.

A new Challenge for Maritime SAR Services- Off Shore Wind Farms at the High Seas
Udo Fox, Director, German Maritime Search and Rescue Service Germany; Guest Professor, World Maritime University
In the past maritime SAR Services usually had to deal with risks associated with shipping from small pleasure boats up to mass
rescue operations in conjunction with passenger ships. Today renewable energies are booming. By thousands wind generators are
installed all around the globe. In the past years we could see a progressive development of one segment of this industry - off shore
wind parks right in front of our coasts but also planned more than 100 nautical miles off shore.
Within the German Exclusive Economic Zone 123 wind farms with about 8000 turbines of gigantic dimensions are in operation,
under construction or in planning! The German Maritime Search and Rescue Service face an increasing number of incidents with
new hazards and challenges:
·medical first aid under very difficult circumstances; ·evacuation from remote constructions; ·recovery from extreme heights;
·diving accidents; ·fire fighting on electric power converter stations.
In Germany industry and public services jointly develop contingency plans and capacities al鄄
lowing to respond effective and efficient to the identified risks.

of wrecked ship by using advanced coiled tubing drilling technology. The submersible injector and CT reel with 2″coiled tubing
are integrated on the system, that allows a horizontal distance of 100 meters in maximum for the horizontal drilling and lifting wire
passing works within a water depth of 200 meters. The underwater mud system consisting of mud pump, flexible mud tank and
mud-seawater mixture equipment can provide continuous mud supply for the drilling tools. For the underwater drilling navigation,
the inertial measurement unit with high precision is applied to calculate the actual drilling tra鄄
jectory, by which the drilling parameter can be regulated in real-time to complete the whole
drilling and lifting wire passing tasks according to the position and azimuth of the drill head.
With the complete underwater power units and plentiful underwater sensors being applied, the
system possesses high integration and systematization. The underwater lifting wire passing sys鄄
tem can also be used in the marine geology exploration, underwater installation, and so on.

Introducing Web-based Search & Rescue Tool SarmapWeb
Mr.Eoin Howlett，RPS, Applied Science Associates,Inc
ASA has been performing search & rescue since the 1980's. Evolving from research related to drifting objects, oil, and chemicals at sea, ASA de鄄
veloped an operational tool called SARMAP and this tool is now used in many countries including China, Singapore, Malaysia, Spain, Netherlands,
Australia, Korea, New Zealand, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil, Isle of Man, U.S.A and others. Originally developed as a desktop version, SARMAP is
now being developed as a web-based system that integrates a drifting object simulation engine, search & rescue unit (SRU) management and search
planning tools, and real-time access to global and regional environmental data. ASA is also part of the development team for SAROPS, the latest
US Coast Guard search & rescue planning tool.
SarmapWeb provides rapid predictions of the movement of drifting objects and missing persons at sea by inputting the last known position of an
object, or track lines (voyages), or areas (e.g., fishing areas), selection of the possible missing objects (targets), and environmental conditions. A
database of drift behavior for a variety of objects is provided within the system based on the latest US Coast Guard leeway experiment data. Simu鄄
lations are normally performed for a variety of postulated accident sites and drift characteristics. This series of simulations provides an envelope of
likely search areas. Once a search area is predicted, Search & Rescue Units (SRUs) may be applied to the search area and calculate probability of
containment, probability of detection, and probability of success based on speed, endurance, and range. When floating debris (e.g., life jackets,
luggage, boat/aircraft parts, etc.) are found that can be definitively linked to the lost object, it is possible to identify the probable location of the
accident site (source of the debris) by using the model in the receptor (backtrack) mode.
The Sarmap system can also be used to manage related information such as locations of search aircraft and vessels, information about response
plans and coordinating agencies, and connection to the SARSAT system for immediate notification of marine incidents. A new aeronautical module
has also been added to simulate the movement of missing aircraft and parachutes with tools to build land-based search patterns and integrate
weather conditions.

Saliency detection for maritime search and rescue
Ms. Ren Lei, Shanghai Maritime University
A saliency detection method for maritime search and rescue is proposed. It is an important task for maritime search and rescue
staff to search the ships and persons in distress. In order to overcome the disadvantages of human eyes, it is helpful to use the
visible light images to automatically detect targets of maritime search and rescue. Fourier transform is conducted on the intensity
and four color features in the RGB color space of image. Singular value decomposition is applied on amplitude spectrums of in鄄
tensity feature and the color features for image and the dominant components are extracted. The difference between the main part
and the original amplitude spectrum combined with the phase spectrum is inversely transformed to the space domain. The most of
background and sea clutters have been removed in the resulting images. The color saliency
map is the combination of four color saliency maps. The master saliency map is the sum of
color and intensity saliency map. Experiments are made on data and results demonstrate the
validity. The proposed saliency detection method is the basis of precise detection for targets in
maritime search and rescue.
Ren Lei was born in Shandong Province, China, in December 1979. In 2001, she received
Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering in Shanghai Normal University. Master's degree in

Mr. Bodo Gerlach, Aerodata AG, Germany
The countries in the Southern part of the European Union (EU) are faced with a constant stream of illegal immigrants from Africa.
Malta – one of the EU member states – is located only 150 nautical miles from the African Coast and – together with Italy –
has to take the burden of immigration. Therefore, the EU has funded the acquisition of two new maritime surveillance and SAR
aircraft to operate the Malta territorial waters.
This paper describes the application and the required modification of the aircraft. While maritime surveillance is the main role of
both aircraft, they are also equipped for search and rescue (SAR) missions.
Both aircraft are equipped with search radar, electro optical / infrared sensor, AIS transponder and SAR direction finder. All sen鄄
sors are integrated through AeroMission, the mission system provided by Aerodata. Communi鄄
cation through satcom, HF, and VHF/UHF ensures compatibility of the aircraft with all other
assets of the Armed Forces of Malta. Sophisticated software functionality ensures that vessels
can be highlighted automatically to the mission system operator enhancing situational aware鄄
ness within the Maltese territoria l waters.

Simulated High Altitude Helium-Oxygen Diving experiment
Mr.Zhang Yanmeng, Institute of Underwater Technology,Shanghai Jiao Tong University
The simulated helium-oxygen divng experiment was conducted at the high altitude of 3000 ,4000 and 5200 meters in high-low
chambers. The high & low pressure chamber-complex was used, and 4 professional divers participated in this experiment. The
divers were stayed at the altitude of 3000、4000 and 5200 meters for 2 days respectively. Totally 24 person-times of dives to the
depths of 30-50 meters were operated; they stayed under the water for 60 min with helium-oxygen mixture. During the experi鄄
ment, we studied the pressurization procedure, decompression table, medical and equipment support and physiological functions of
the divers. The results indicate that, although the relative pressure differences between the surface and underwater was larger at
high altitude than at sea level, the appropriate prolongation of the compression time was able to prevent the difficulty in pressure
regulation for the divers to avoid the injury of middle ear. Four tables of the decompression procedures for different altitude were
calculated with pressure corrections method using underwater stage stops. There were no signs and symptoms of decompression
sickness and bubbles in the body of divers.
The physiological functions were recorded on divers at high altitudes and during diving time including cerebral (alpha attenuation
coefficient, AAC), autonomic nerve system and circulation functions; heart rate variability (HRV) 、cardiac output, stroke volume,
blood pressure. The results indicated that these parameters were changed, but are in normal surrounded the fluctuated in diving
condition is also better. At the same time, the symptoms of hypoxia were also relived. These results of the diving test indicate that
our high altitude exposure procedure, diving compression and decompression table is effective and safe, and it could be extensive鄄
ly used for underwater construction and special military training in high altitude area.
With strict organization, thoughtful and detailed medical security, precise and accurate equipment operation, this experiment was a
great success.

Status quo of decompression in china : analyze for 2001-2011
Mr.Liu Wenwu, Second Military Medical University
Objective: To analyze the studies on decompression illness (DCI) in China in past 10 years.
Methods: We searched three Chinese databases and collected studies on DCI for further analysis. On the basis of findings, we
proposed the issues on DCI in China.
Results: There are more than 50,000 active divers in China, the majority of whom are the fishing divers. Among them, the inci鄄
dence of DCI is still at a high level because they have no or less knowledge on diving and diving medicine, the quality of diving
equipments is poor, and they do not follow the regulations of diving. There few diving physicins in China and the general clini鄄
cians have poor knowledge on or pay little attention to diving medicine, which might be the major cause of poor quality of studies
on DCI. There is no consensus in the classification of DCI and treatment tables for DCI treatment. These are factors affecting sys鄄
temic review and further meta-analysis of available studies on DCI.
Conclusion: It is imperative to generalize the knowledge in not only divers and diving-related practitioners but general practitioners.
