Chapter 55: Chapter 51 Difficult ProceduresLeaders give orders, subordinates run around tirelessly. Han Yu rushed to the shipyard to find Captain Wang, obtained the documents required by the Transportation Bureau, and figured out the registration and inspection process for ships, leaving him completely overwhelmed. The bureau requires the registration and inspection at the ship inspection department, and while this department can handle special cases, no documents can be missing. First, a ship inspection application form must be submitted, which is not as simple as just filling out a form. You need to provide approved ship design drawings, technical documents, and drawing approval documents, as well as a photocopy of the shipyard’s business license and the ship ownership certificate. was built in 1967, where to find design drawings, technical documents, and back then, the quality requirements for ships were not as strict as they are now, there might not even be such a thing as drawing approval documents. The shipbuilding factory is at East Sea Port, you can’t just call and ask them for a copy of a business license, most likely they will think you are a scammer, they definitely won’t give it to you, especially since the license copy needs to be stamped. The ship ownership certificate is also a headache. was originally purchased by the state-owned Brick and Tile Factory II, and later transferred to the shipping company. Captain Wang said that at the time, the two entities just signed an agreement, and there was no formal transfer of ownership. The shipping company used it for a few years, disliked its insufficient horsepower, high fuel consumption, always running into issues, and just left it idle. Then the shipping company was restructured, wanting to sell it, but no one wanted it. Until June this year, the county asked to strengthen the management of the water population, and the bureau set up the Yanjiang Police Station, appointing Xu Sanye as the director. Xu Sanye saw that it looked like a small warship, suggested painting it white with "police" written on it, and towed it to Bailong Port to make an impression. Thus, the bureau sought help from the county leaders. The county leader called the head of the Transportation Bureau, who agreed without hesitation, as the shipping company is a subsidiary of the Transportation Bureau. Now the problem is, legally it doesn’t belong to the Police Bureau, even though it practically does. Without the ship ownership certificate, the first step of registration and inspection would be stalled. Han Yu had no choice but to find Xu Sanye. Xu Sanye suggested going to Master Ding, saying the registration and inspection was required by Master Ding, and if the needed documents can’t be sorted, let Master Ding figure it out; if not, then no need for registration and inspection. As for dunships, they are also ships, and the bureau similarly demands their registration and inspection. Fortunately, the dunship is newly built, and related drawings and documents can be quickly organized by Boss Wu and Master Zhou. The ship inspection department, seeing it’s a police ship, was very accommodating, allowing them to "get on the train first and buy the ticket later". Under normal procedures, the design drawings should be sent for approval from the very beginning. For a ship to be launched, undergo mooring tests, navigation tests, every construction stage, verification processes must be conducted at each node, and only after passing each node’s inspection can the next step be taken. The rest was coordinated with Boss Wu and Master Zhou, asking Captain Wang to quickly have a few people dismantle the newly installed air-conditioning. Because raw materials for shipbuilding and purchased components must be ship-specific, relevant proving documents, design drawings, calculation books, manuals, and technical standards must be provided. The two air-conditioning units purchased by Zhang Lan were regular ones, not marine air-conditioning units. Although dismantling them now would be cumbersome, it would reduce many issues during the actual site inspection, and they could be reinstalled after the inspection. Ship registration and inspections are similar in principle to citizens applying for ID cards, or motor vehicles for their driving licenses; photos are required. Go to the photo studio in Bailong Port and ask them to come and take photos of the ship, two of the front and side, one of the side stern, and one of the back stern... After the photos, pack your bag, ride a bicycle to the bureau, dash up to the third floor, and shout a report in front of the instructor’s office door. "Salted Fish, isn’t it? Come in." "Yes!" Han Yu pushed the door open and walked in, standing straight and saluting. Master Ding picked up his tea cup, smiling as he watched him say, "I couldn’t hear clearly on the phone just now, what documents exactly do we need?" "Reporting to the instructor, the ship inspection department needs us to provide the ship design drawings, construction drawings, technical documents, including a copy of the shipyard’s business license, and complete data..." Han Yu succinctly reported again, worried the leader might not understand, and also took out a list of documents that needed to be submitted from his bag. Master Ding hadn’t expected getting a ship license to be so troublesome, looking at the list he asked, "So are we currently stuck on not having the ownership certificate and related materials from the shipyard?" "Yes." "Some places even illegally registered cars can get licensed, why can’t a domestically-produced ship be licensed." "Can smuggled cars be registered?" Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I’m not saying that smuggled cars can really be registered, I mean that cars smuggled over, after certain procedures and approved by relevant departments, can be registered." "Instructor, I don’t understand these things." "Try contacting the Transportation Bureau; they definitely have a way." Han Yu asked with a pained expression, "Just like that, would the Transportation Bureau people care about me?" Master Ding picked up the phone and said with a smile, "I’ll give the Transportation Bureau a heads-up for you." What do you mean helping me, this is dealing with government affairs... While Han Yu was grumbling, the instructor had already dialed the office’s switchboard, asking them to connect to the Transportation Bureau. It turned out the Transportation Bureau also had a switchboard. After being transferred back and forth, it took two or three minutes to finally get in touch with the leader in charge of water transportation at the Transportation Bureau. Speaking facts and reasoning for over ten minutes, they still said it was difficult to manage. Master Ding became anxious and played his trump card, saying if they don’t help, Xu Sanye will definitely come find them tomorrow. A surprising scene emerged. The other party’s attitude made a one hundred and eighty-degree turn, saying they would study it and respond by tomorrow afternoon at the latest before getting off work, and mentioned that they would think of a solution and the issue shouldn’t be too big. "Salted Fish, did you hear that? Your Director’s name is pretty useful." "It is indeed quite useful," Han Yu couldn’t help but laugh. Master Ding hung up the phone and laughed, "Next time you encounter a similar situation, just use your Director’s name directly, no need to find me." "Yes." "As for the East Sea Port, you graduated from the Binjiang Shipping School, your brother-in-law works in the Binjiang Port Authority, and your station also has a good relationship with Bailong Port. Go back and ask around, see if they know any familiar leaders or teachers at East Sea Port who can help make contact." "..." "Salted Fish, listen to me, it’s not that the office won’t help, it’s mainly because the office isn’t familiar with the port and shipping enterprises." It made sense; the department leaders aren’t shipping people, it’s a bit difficult for them to make these contacts. Han Yu said helplessly, "Alright, I’ll go back and ask around." This kid is more capable than expected, just can repair and pilot ships, only knows about shipping... Master Ding heaved a sigh, stood up, "The ship was originally built at East Sea Port, so they should provide the necessary paperwork. But it has been a long time since it was built, you need to ask for blueprints, business licenses, and it can’t be solved by just a few phone calls. Once you have contacted them, please make an effort to go to East Sea." "Master Ding, should I go alone?" "You’ve been to East Sea before, last time when cracking down on ticket scalping, you went to East Sea every day, creating over a thousand documents, I have confidence in you. Besides, you’re the only one in the office who understands these matters, others wouldn’t know how to handle it." Others wouldn’t only not know how to handle it, they might even be turned away at the door, since it’s been so long and the leadership might have changed many times over. Sending a young one has its advantages; they couldn’t possibly turn him away. If they really don’t provide documents, he could even cry... Master Ding made up his mind, walked around the desk, came over and put his arm around Han Yu’s shoulder: "Salted Fish, you’ve been working for almost three months, you can’t be without a work pass. Come, I’ll take you to the Political Work Office, please ask Director Wang to arrange someone to take you for a passport photo, and issue your work pass." Without a work pass, it feels like being a fake police. Finally able to issue a pass, Han Yu was very happy, but still put on a sad face said, "Instructor, I need to wear a uniform for the ID photo." "No worries if you didn’t bring one, there’s a photo studio across the street, taking a passport photo is quick, I’ll help you borrow one." "I want to wear a men’s uniform for the photo." "Ha ha ha ha..." "Instructor, what are you laughing at?" "Nothing, no problem, I’ll help you borrow a men’s one." Master Ding closed the office door, walked to the stairwell, then stopped: "Almost forgot, if you’re going to East Sea on a business trip, first we go to the office, I’ll write an introduction letter for you." Han Yu was even more pleased about going to East Sea on a business trip than getting a work pass. Just didn’t know the address of the East Sea Port shipyard; if it’s not far from Xuhui, he could take the chance to visit Lin Xiaohui.
