At 4:00 p.m. on the July 23 about burning sun broiled the Dalian Golden Pebble Beach tourist area north of the beach. Oil drums filled with fishing boats slowly towards the shore, two oil drums drilled a sudden gap in the “black” – the upper and lower body are black oil soaked his face with sweat and oil mixed stop dripping. People on the land, this is the clean-up of fishermen, he has done 67 hours up.

These fishermen mainly the straw into the sea, such as oil, debris such as straw to suck to be picked up after them, into oil drums, oil drums filled when the entire fishing boat back to shore on the open. Some business skilled fishermen can salvage more than 40 barrels a day, more than income as high as 10,000 yuan. Jin Shi Haibin Beach Management is the managing director Wang Liqi told, “First Financial Daily”, to his knowledge into the Golden Pebble Beach the day raking up nearly 300 million installed more than 70,000 barrels of day.

Since July 16 Japan-China oil pipeline explosion in Dalian Xingang, Dalian, a large number of crude leaked into the sea, these days are fighting a clean up campaign of the local. “Now the sea is still a lot of oil, estimated clean-up will continue for nearly a week.” Guide at the Dalian Golden Pebble Beach clean-up of a company near the head of Mr. Yang (pseudonym), told the newspaper, even more than one billion yuan to pay for clean pollution costs.

Clean up the working group on July 24, said the notification issued: clean-up operations in Dalian sea area of 41 square kilometers, oil spill area of 32 square kilometers, deployed 6,590 officers, of whom 835 were professional clean-up personnel. Vessels to 1258, including 40 specialized vessels, fishing vessels 1218.

Multi-reporter learned that the entire clean-up formed by several forces. First, the oil and environmental protection, maritime and other sectors through their own efforts to clean up. PetroChina told reporters that one of the internal management, the company has invested more than 10 vessels for the sea port clean-up. The second category is a Government fishing vessels, clean-up company to do it, in accordance with the plan initially for each fishing vessels access to 1,000 yuan a day clean-up subsidies, but according to the fishermen say, and now every barrel of oil can be filled with 300 yuan reward. The reporter saw the boat in the barrels and into the third row is generally a boat full of about 20 barrels of oil.

Some company request of the Government, is responsible for loading boats on the oil and then sent to designated areas. One engaged in clean-up work told reporters that this part of the oil will be sent to the Dalian petrochemical company, for further processing.

At press time, the Dalian municipal government has not announced how much will be paid for the cost of cleaning up the oil. Industry to reporters, these costs will be several parts, the first step was to clean out oil shipment, and then delivered to shore, loaded into trucks. Loading of the people are not local fishermen, but some professional clean-up around the job market in Dalian over the recruitment of emergency personnel, there are Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hebei and other parts of the migrant workers, pay 600 yuan a day. One of them migrant workers to participate in clean-up work that they need to dry from about 8 am to 5 pm. After 5 pm to continue doing so, the other operator overtime.

In the clean-up scene, this reporter saw a number of migrant workers are working overtime and decontamination companies to negotiate with. The original set of 3 yuan per barrel, but the migrant workers believe should be raised to 5 yuan / barrel. Half an hour passed, and a barrel of oil down overtime has not been discussed.

Mr Yang said the Dalian area clean stains estimated more than 10. If in a week, 300 yuan / day, 10 points to calculate, then probably put up 210 million yuan. But this is only part of clean-up costs, the labor cost of transport oil, gasoline, and other edible vegetable oil equipment such as suction linoleum, eliminating oil, edible vegetable oil machine to spend money, there are pollution control fees, “plus rock, Beach wall follow-up treatment is also a large sum of money. “Yang said.

Wang Liqi also told the newspaper, according to his personal understanding, the government has basically decided to change areas of the Golden Pebble Beach Sand. Apart from Golden Pebble Beach, contaminated include well-known tourist area of Dalian Tiger Beach, Shek Wan Park, etc. quite a few maintenance costs.

State Securities researcher Kim Bo said that at present more traditional decontamination methods, artificial fishing by oil barrels can be very slow. And on July 16 after the oil spill, Dalian rain a few days, many fishing boats can not work without that, the sea of oil can easily spread to, to clean up the inconvenience. Therefore, the whole clean-up time may be 1 week longer than expected, the cost of inputs may be even greater. “After the incident, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil spill, BP had planned to invest 20 billion U.S. dollars for oil pollution, marine ecosystem protection, and Dalian, the cost of 10 billion yuan investment, is very possible.”

Dalian Port (02880.HK) announced last night, said the three affected by the oil pipeline explosion in oil berth, 1 # and 2 # berth at the date of resumption of operation, the largest 0 # berth has yet to resume operations.
