To enhance sea safety jointly with seafarers, the Marine Outer Waters District held the Sea Safety and Community Engagement Seminar 2024 at the Ma Liu Shui Operational Base on July 12. Stakeholders and practitioners of maritime industries were invited to exchange information and suggestions on sea safety. Regional Commander (RC) of Marine (MAR) Ng Cheuk-hang and Deputy RC of MAR Ip Che-man attended the event to show support and encourage co-operation between MAR officers and the community.
The guests first visited booths to gain knowledge about sea safety and related policing work, such as the MAR Small Unmanned Aircraft Team. There was also a demonstration of a joint search and rescue operation by MAR Small Unmanned Aircraft Team and the Marine East Division Jet Ski Team. During the seminar, officers reported safety-related crimes and promotion efforts, as well as exploring with the guests how to enhance sea safety with concerted efforts. Representative of Marine Department was also invited to share on the Marine Safety (Alcohol and Drugs) Ordinance, which will come into effect next year.
