The waters of Yingchuan Port are wide, but due to many shallows and hidden reefs, the waterway is quite narrow.
During the low water season, the dedicated channel for ships over 5000 gross tons at its narrowest is only 150 meters, with a depth of only 9 meters at low tide.
001 has a shallow draft, but still needs to be careful when navigating.
Captain Wang piloted 001 upstream, navigating around patches of shallows and hidden reefs, finally reaching the area where the anchoring incident occurred.
Han Yu jumped onto a cargo ship whose anchor and chain had become entangled, went to the stern to assess the situation, and after consulting with the crew of the arriving crane ship, immediately had several cargo ships' crews "make do with mistakes" by tying ropes to each other first to loosen the tangled anchors and chains for subsequent rescue.
