烟台海事局提醒：船舶切勿非法穿越砣矶水道！！

案 例 分 析

CASESTUDY

 2025年3月18日1449时，马绍尔群岛籍散货船“D*”轮意图穿越砣矶水道，烟台海事局值班人员电子巡查发现后立即通过甚高频提醒该轮前方为禁航区，要求该轮调整航向使用老铁山水道或长山水道，船舶之后调整航向至老铁山水道航行。事后核查该轮航次计划发现，该轮原计划穿越砣矶水道驶抵下一港。得益于烟台海事局值班员的及时发现和提醒，避免了该轮穿越砣矶水道禁航区而导致的行政处罚、触损事故等后果。

At 1449 LT, March ,18, 2025, the Marshall Islands flag bulk carrier "D*" intended to pass through Tuoji Shuidao. The officer on watch of Yantai MSA immediately informed the vessel by VHF that the Tuoji Shuidao is a prohibited area and remind the vessel to alter course to Laotieshan Shuidao or Changshan Shuidao for safe navigation. The vessel followed the instruction and altered course to LaotieshanShuidao. The later investigation found the bulk carrier "D*" planned to cross Tuoji Shuidao, and with the timely instruction of Yantai VTS，the vessel avoided administrative penalties and accidents that may be caused by crossing Tuoji Shuidao without authorization.

一、航行安全风险

I.Risks of Safety Navigation

 渤海海峡是船舶进出渤海的唯一海上通道。位于海峡中南部的庙岛群岛将海峡自北向南有老铁山水道，北砣矶水道，南砣矶水道，长山水道，登州水道。

 根据相关规定：庙岛群岛水道除老铁山水道、长山水道和登州水道（限200总吨以下船舶航行），其它诸水道禁止国内外商船通行。如果船舶在200总吨以上，进出渤海海峡，只有老铁山水道、长山水道可供通行。

Bohai Haixia is the only sea passage for ships entering and leaving the Bohai Sea. Miaodo Qundao, located in the south-central part of the strait, divide the strait from north to south into Laotieshan Shuidao, Beituoji Shuidao, Nantuoji Shuidao, Changshan Shuidao, and Dengzhou Shuidao.

According to the relevant regulations, the waterways of the Miaodo Qundao are forbidden fordomestic and foreign merchant ships to pass through , except Laotieshan Shuidao, Changshan Shuidao and Dengzhou Shuidao (Only vessels of 200gt or less are permitted to use DengzhouShuidao). If the shipGRT is more than 200，to enter and/or leave the Bohai Haixia， only the Laotieshan Shuidao and Changshan Shuidao can be used.

船舶穿越砣矶水道（南砣矶水道、北砣矶水道）禁航区，不仅面临海事部门的行政处罚，还存在以下安全风险。

Ships crossing the prohibited area of Tuoji Shuidao (Nantuoji Shuidao, Beituoji Shuidao) not only faces administrative penalties from the maritime department, but also has the following safety risks.

1、触碰事故。砣矶水道（南砣矶水道、北砣矶水道）周边水域存在大量海上养殖和定置网具，船舶穿越砣矶水道会导致触碰养殖或者定制网具事故。

2、搁浅和触礁事故。砣矶水道（南砣矶水道、北砣矶水道）为禁航区，海测部门难以对相关水域开展勘测，通航资料更新慢。航海出版物上显示的水深等数据资料可能并不准确，北砣矶水道存在礁石，船舶尤其是大型船舶航行容易造成搁浅或触礁事故。

1. Accidents of touching and damaging aquaculture.

Large amount of marinefarms and rigged fishing nets existed in Tuoji Shuidao (Nantuoji Shuidao, Beituoji Shuidao) water area, unauthorized passing through this area might cause accidents.

2. Grounding accidents. Tuoji Shuidao (Nantuoji Shuidao, Beituoji Shuidao) is a prohibited area, the National Hydrographic Department cannot survey and update the hydrographic information to date regularly. The hydrographic information of Nautical Publications/Charts in this area might be inaccurate. Unknown rock(s) reported in Beituoji Shuidao, any unauthorized ship，especially large ships, passing this area may cause grounding accidents.

二、航海出版物及海图中的相关信息

II. Related information in nautical publications and nautical charts

纸质海图：在相关英版海图（如BA1206）上警示信息指出，老铁山水道、长山水道和庙岛海峡（登州水道）是通过渤海海峡的通航水道。值得注意的是只有200总吨以下的船舶才可以通过庙岛海峡（登州水道）。

Paper chart: Warning information on the British Admiralty Chart, (e.g. BA1206) states that Laotieshan Shuidao, Changshan Shuidao and Miaodao Haixia (Dengzhou Shuidao) are navigable waterways through the Bohai Haixia. It shall bear in mind that only vessels of 200gt or less are permitted to use Miaodao Haixia(Dengzhou Shuidao).

British Admiralty Chart

电子海图：以下快照显示了一款电子海图（ECDIS)上的警示信息：除长山水道和庙岛海峡（登州水道）外，庙岛群岛(的)其他水道禁止通行。

Electronic Charts: The following snapshot shows a warning information on one of the electronic charts (ECDIS) that navigating is prohibited in the fairways of Miaodao Qundao, except Changshan Shuidao and Miaodao Haixia(Dengzhou Shuidao).Only vessels of less than 200 tons can go through Miaodao Haixia.)

Warning information on the ECDIS

航路指南：英版航路指南NP32B规定，外国船舶只允许使用三个水道通过渤海海峡，即庙岛群岛北部的老铁山水道，长山水道， 以及庙岛海峡（登州水道）（仅适用总吨不超过200的船舶）。

Sailing Direction: ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions NP32B states that foreign vessels are permitted to use only three of the channels through Bohai Haixia as follows:Changshan Shuidao,Laotieshan Shuidao in the northern part of the Miaodao Qundao and; Miaodao Haixia; vessels of 200 gt or less only are pemitted to use this channel.)

ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions NP32B

其它海事安全信息：

 烟台海事局针对外轮违规穿越砣矶水道问题，发布了多条航行警告（NW）和航海通告（NTM），如2017年NW SD0434、 NTM NO.068, 2020年NTM NO.0519, 2022年NW SD0088。

 部分外轮船舶海图上显示的“Tuoji Dao-Daqin Dao Recommended Route”是指“砣矶岛-大钦岛”陆岛交通运输推荐航路，并非穿越砣矶水道禁航区的推荐航路。（详见中华人民共和国山东海事局《航行通告》鲁航通〔2023〕0738 号）。

Other maritime safety information：

Yantai MSA has issued a number of navigational warnings (NW) and notices to mariners (NTM) in response to the problem of foreign vessels illegally crossing Tuoji Shuidao, such as NW SD0434, 2017, NTM NO.068, NTM NO.0519, 2020, and NW SD0088。 

2017 NW SD0434

NTM NO.068

2020 NTM NO. 0519

2022年NW SD0088

"Tuoji Dao-Daqin Dao Recommended Route" shown on the chart of some foreign ships refers to the recommended route for land-island transportation of "Tuoji Dao-Daqin Dao", which is not a recommended route through the restricted area of Tuoji Shuidao. (For details, please refer to the "Notice of Navigation" of Shandong MSA of the People's Republic of China, Luhangtong [2023] No. 0738).

三、原因分析

III: Analysis of causes

1、外轮对水道禁航的规定不熟悉。穿越禁航区的船舶均为外国船舶。砣矶水道（北砣矶水道、南砣矶水道）一直禁止船舶航行，已为中国籍船舶、船员所熟知，外国籍船舶船员对该水道禁航的相关规定不熟悉，偶有擅自驶入或穿越禁航区现象。

1. Foreign vessels are unfamiliar with the prohibition of navigation in waterways. According to analysis of record,Ships crossing the Tuoji Shuidao (Nantuoji Shuidao, Beituoji Shuidao) prohibited zone are all foreign ships.This prohibition rule is well known to Chinese ships and crew, The crew of foreign vesselsare unfamiliar with the relevant regulations on the prohibition of navigation in this waterway, and occasionally enter or cross the prohibited area without authorization.

2、电子海图的航行注意事项不直观。电子海图信息显示系统已普遍配备到船，多数大型船舶配备2台电子海图以取代纸质海图。较之纸质海图，电子海图的航行注意事项不直观，都置于下拉菜单中，往往易被船员忽视。

2. The navigational notes display on electronic charts are not intuitive. And most large ships have two sets of ECDIS in replace ofpaper charts. Comparison with paper charts, the navigational notes placed in the drop-down menu display on ECDISare not intuitive ，which is often easily ignored by the crews.

3、电子海图中水域标注名称外籍船员难以理解。许多英版出版物中的地理名称使用了中文拼音而不是对应的英文翻译，群岛、水道、海峡等名称均以汉语拼音标识，对于外国籍船员而言，从复杂的电子海图界面上查找到QUNDAO、SHUIDAO、HAIXIA等名称，实属不易。

3. Difficulty of understanding the names of water in Chinese pinyin marked on ECDIS. The geographical names in many British admiraltypublications use Chinese pinyin instead of corresponding English translations, and the names of islands, waterways, straits, etc. are all identified in Chinese pinyin system. For foreign crews, it is not easy to find the names meaning of QUNDAO, SHUIDAO, HAIXIA, etc. from the complex ECDIS interface.

4、船舶可能为避开军事演习水域或渔船密集区域而选择砣矶水道。渤海和黄海北部经常开展军事演习，为避免此类活动可能造成的拥堵或延误，有些船舶可能会寻求其他“替代路线”。在渔汛季节，渤海海峡和黄海北部会有大量的渔船，如果船舶预计通过老铁山水道或长山水道存在大量的渔船，可能会寻求其他“替代航线”。

4.For avoidance of military exercises or heavy fishing area and mistakenly entering the prohibition zone. Unscheduled Military exercises are frequently conducted in the Bohai Sea and the northern Yellow Sea, The ship may seek alternative routes to avoid the congestion or delays that may result from such activities. During the fishing season, there are large numbers of fishing vessels in the Bohai Haixia and the northern part of the Yellow Sea, and ships may seek alternative routes if they anticipate the presence of large numbers of fishing vessels through Laotieshan Shuidao or Changshan Shuidao.

四、相关法律责任

IV. Relevant legal responsibilities

根据《中华人民共和国海上交通安全法》第四十四条的规定，船舶不得违反规定进入或者穿越禁航区。
