Built in a South China Sea Island Lighthouse 5 large 4-seat light

"Global network reported reporter Zhang entertainment" for three days of "Ningbo China navigation day Forum" July 10 held opening launches, traffic Transport Department Maritime Council Secretary Xu Ruqing in launches Shang said, last year May began, China gradually in Sea Island Reef starts construction huayang, 5 seat large multifunctional lighthouse, as currently, huayang, and Red melon, and Zhu bi, and Yong summer, 4 seat Lighthouse has has built glow. American Chai Lighthouse main building has been basically completed and will soon be put into use.

Xu Ruqing said this 5 lighthouse, is the construction of public facilities in South China Sea, 5 Lighthouse built and put into use in China to meet international responsibilities and obligations reflected, in fact it assumes the services, maritime security, maritime search and rescue, safety of navigation, fisheries, marine disaster prevention functions. Specifically, embodied in the following three aspects:

First of all is to ensure traffic safety in the international routes. South China sea route is one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. In the South China Sea near major routes, due to the Islands, reefs and shoals, shoal, and its location and depth, hydrology and the lack of good documentation, combined with the route there are many nearby navigable obstacles, which are needed by setting the safety and security of navigation facilities on the ship for navigation instructions.

Followed by the maritime search and rescue, disaster prevention and mitigation provides infrastructure support. According to data provided by the search and rescue Center in Hainan Province shows that from 2013 to date, in the South China Sea in response to ships in distress, we rescue the Chinese and expatriate staff of 3396 people in distress. The other hand, these 5 lighthouses apart from traditional Visual navigation functionality, the configuration of automatic identification systems (AIS) and very high frequency (VHF) communication base stations, has achieved effective coverage of radio communication signals. Construction and use of this infrastructure by Lighthouse, we can provide merchant vessels sailing in the South China Sea, help coordinate and guide disaster early warning, prevention and meteorological information services.

Third, helps to reduce the risk of oil spills from ships, protection of marine ecological environment of the South China Sea. Focus areas of the South China Sea Asia oil transport, one-third of the world's oil and more than one-second's natural gas to be transported by sea, tankers, liquefied gas ships in the area, such as traffic density, which means that, due to the collision, stranding risks resulting from accidents such as oil spills. Lighthouse built to help ship navigation process for effective localization and route guidance, which prevent the occurrence of accident hazards, reduce the probability of oil spill pollution, and effective protection of marine ecological environment of the South China Sea, will play an important supporting role.

Xu Ruqing also said, except this five seat Lighthouse outside, we also in Xisha waters built has jinqing Island, and Antelope reef basket Tsai sandbar, and South sandbar, and North reef East, 4 seat lamp pile; in yongxing Island, and Tung Lung Island, and fully airlines Island, and in the built island set has 4 seat ship automatically recognition system (AIS) base station, achieved has Xisha focus waters signal of full cover; began broadcasting has 4209.5 kHz (KHZ) frequency of sea security information (NAVTEX) broadcast business, achieved has on Xisha, and in the sand waters signal of cover. In the area have been building 31 civil navigation aid facilities. Which makes civilian maritime security infrastructure network in South China Sea has taken initial shape.

中国在南海岛礁开建5座大型灯塔 4座已发光

　　【环球网报道 记者 张娱】为期三天的“宁波中国航海日论坛”7月10日举行开幕发布会，交通运输部海事局局长许如清在发布会上称，去年5月份开始，我国陆续在南海岛礁开工建设华阳等5座大型多功能灯塔，截至目前，华阳、赤瓜、渚碧、永暑等4座灯塔已先后建成发光。美济灯塔主体建设也已基本完成，即将投入使用。

　　许如清称，这5座灯塔，是我国在南海海域建设的重要公益性服务设施，5座灯塔的建成和投入使用也是我国履行相关国际责任和义务的体现，实际上它承担着服务航海保障、海上搜寻救助、航行安全、渔业生产、海洋防灾减灾等功能。具体来说，体现在以下三个方面：

　　首先是保障了国际航线通航安全。南海航线是全球最重要的海上贸易通道之一。在南海主要航线附近，由于岛、礁、滩多，暗沙也多，且其位置和水深、水文缺乏准确的资料记录，加之航路附近有许多通航障碍物，这些都需要通过设置航行安全保障设施，对船舶进行导航指示。

　　其次是为海上搜寻救助、防灾减灾提供了基础设施支持。据海南省搜救中心提供的数据显示，从2013年到目前为止，在南海海域针对船舶发生的遇险事故中，我们就已成功救助了中外籍遇险人员3396人。另一方面，这5座灯塔除了能够发挥传统视觉导航功能之外，其所配置的船舶自动识别系统(AIS)和甚高频(VHF)通信基站，已经实现无线电通信信号的有效覆盖。通过灯塔这一基础设施的建设和使用，我们可以为在南海海域航行的商船渔船，提供救助协调指导和气象灾害预警、预防信息服务。

　　第三是有利于降低船舶溢油风险，保护南海海洋生态环境。南海是亚洲各国石油运输的集中区域，全球三分之一的原油运输和超过二分之一的天然气需经南海运输，油轮、液化气船等船舶在此海域通航密度大，这意味着，由于船舶发生碰撞、搁浅等事故而带来的溢油风险也大。灯塔的建成使用，能够帮助船舶在航行过程中进行有效定位和航路指引，这对于预防事故险情的发生，降低船舶溢油污染的概率，进而有效保护南海海洋生态环境，都将起到重要的支持保障作用。

　　许如清还说，除了这五座灯塔外，我们还在西沙水域建成了晋卿岛、羚羊礁筐仔沙洲、南沙洲、北礁东等4座灯桩;在永兴岛、东岛、琛航岛、中建岛设置了4座船舶自动识别系统(AIS)基站，实现了西沙重点水域信号的全覆盖;开播了4209.5千赫(KHZ)频率的海上安全信息(NAVTEX)广播业务，实现了对西沙、中沙水域信号的覆盖。我国在上述水域也已经建设31座民用航标设施。这使得南海海域民用航海保障基础设施的网络已经初步形成。
