Navigating 100 nautical miles through dense fog with visibility under 500 meters, solely to save a fisherman's severed wrist; charging full speed through stormy seas to open a lifeline for a critically injured crew member—this is the daily reality for the Donghai Rescue Bureau's vessel “Donghai Rescue 321”. Behind every race against death, two “hearts” beat relentlessly...
01 | Powering Life-Saving Missions: 25 Knots Against Time
As the Huangpu River's first dedicated rescue vessel, "Donghai Rescue 321" has spearheaded emergency operations since its commissioning in 2018.
2023 Lantern Festival: Full-speed rescue at Yangtze River Estuary Anchorage No. 1, braving winds and waves to save a critically injured crew member
February 2025: Breaking through an orange fog warning, racing 100 nautical miles to rescue a fisherman who lost his arm
“Every second counts—that's our mission.” “The technical lead of Donghai Rescue Bureau ran his hand over the steel beast in the engine room. ”The 1,400 horsepower delivered by two MAN D2862 main engines allows us to surge forward at a top speed of 25 knots. What's even more remarkable is that no matter how fierce the waves, the power remains as steady as a rock."
02 | Zero-Failure Escort: Absolute Reliability in Harsh Seas
When thick fog swallows the channel and towering waves crash against the hull, equipment reliability becomes a matter of life and death:
2025 Yangtze Estuary Fog Rescue: Visibility <500 meters, engines operated flawlessly throughout
Extended Maintenance Intervals: 40% reduction in downtime compared to similar equipment
Fuel Efficiency Optimization: Ensures sustainable operation for high-frequency deployments
“Rescue vessels dread sudden breakdowns. The MAN engines' track record of thousands of hours without major overhauls empowers us to respond to emergencies at any moment.”—This is the confidence of maritime guardians.
03| 4-Hour Emergency Support: The “Zero-Wait” Assurance System Behind It
The technical lead of Donghai Rescue 321 specifically highlighted Shanghai Ocean service support:
Exclusive Asian direct contract with MAN's Nuremberg factory: Ensures direct supply of genuine spare parts
Shanghai warehouse center stocking core components: In a 2024 incident, spare part allocation and replacement completed in just 4 hours
Dedicated technical team: Dual-channel response with remote diagnostics + on-site support
“Ocean delivers more than equipment—it provides a 24/7 safeguard chain. Their warehouse stock of genuine MAN parts is our second lifeline.”
As the vessel cuts through stormy seas, the gleaming MAN emblem on the dashboard signifies more than 1,400 horsepower of propulsion—it embodies the vital mission of saving lives. As MAN's first direct-contract core agent in Asia signed with the Nuremberg factory, Shanghai Ouxing will continue to provide the “Donghai Rescue 321” with unshakable confidence through optimal pricing, swiftest response, and most reliable quality.
