Abstract
Currently, hundreds of inland waterway vehicles are transporting passengers to the islands are in shortage of crewmembers, arranging operators, mechanics with unsuitable professional qualifications. Maritime Port Authority said, to ensure traffic safety for inland water activities, the unit has organized inspection and review of qualifications and professional certificates for inland waterway vessels currently carrying visitors to the islands. Through inspection, there are 57 vehicles lacking a class III chief engine; the number of vehicles lacking a class II chief engine has 2 types: there are 38 class chiefs arranged to replace 38 means; do not arrange temporary title to replace 90 means. In addition, the number of vehicles not yet arranged with a driver of a high-speed type I certificate (currently using a captain of a class III or a driver of a motor vehicle with a high-speed type II certificate to temporarily replace) has 14 vehicles; the number of vehicles lacking class I mechanics (using limited mechanics to replace them) is 11. With such violations, Maritime Port Authority has not allowed to leave ports for vehicles lacking crew members. Although this affects business operations and tourism, it is essential to ensure safety. In addition, the number of inland waterway transporting tourists locally grows rapidly, while the trained crewmembers are inadequate.
