After the merge of CMS, FLEC, CCG, and Customs into a single State Oceanic
Administration, it is time for their old cutters to get a new paint job.
The "real" Chinese Coast Guard is finally here.
Well, this has finally happened, the newly reorganized State Oceanic
Administration will take command four of the five maritime law
enforcement agencies in the form of the newly established Coast Guard
Bureau.
CMS, FLEC, CCG, and Customs will all be under the command
of this new bureau, which the Ministry of Public Security will provide

China to restructure oceanic administration, enhance maritime law enforcement

BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- China plans to restructure the country's
top oceanic administration to enhance maritime law enforcement and
better protect and use its oceanic resources.
The move will bring
China's maritime law enforcement forces, currently scattered in
different ministries, under the unified management of one single
administration, according to a report to be delivered by State Councilor
Ma Kai at the annual parliamentary session on Sunday.
The new
agency, still named National Oceanic Administration (NOA), will have
under its control the coast guard forces of the Public Security
Ministry, the fisheries law enforcement command of the Agriculture
Ministry, and the maritime anti-smuggling police of the General
Administration of Customs. The NOA used to only have one maritime law
enforcement department, China Marine Surveillance.
The move aims
at solving the problems of low efficiency in maritime law enforcement,
improving protection and use of oceanic resources, and better
safeguarding the country's maritime rights and interests, according to
the report.
The proposed administration, under the Ministry of
Land and Resources, will carry out law enforcement activities in the
name of China maritime police bureau and under the operational direction
of the Ministry of Public Security.
Apart from law enforcement,
other functions of the new administration include outlining oceanic
development plan, supervising and managing the use of sea waters, and
protecting oceanic environment, the report says.
A high-level
consultation and coordinating body, the National Oceanic Commission,
will also be set up to formulate oceanic development strategies and
coordinate important oceanic affairs, according to the report.
The specific work of the commission will be carried out by the new NOA, the report says.
