BEWG:Pay attention to marine protection and protect the blue coast of the Pearl of the East 2022-06-08

The ocean is the cradle of life on earth, but with the development of human society, overfishing, environmental pollution and global warming, etc., the marine ecological environment is becoming increasingly severe. In 1992, the concept of “World Ocean Day” was first put forward at the earth summit conference in Rio de Janeiro. In 2008, the UN General Assembly established June 8 as the World Ocean Day. This year is the 14th “World Ocean Day” and the 15th “National Ocean Publicity Day". Mankind and the ocean are a community of life. Building a community of shared future for the ocean has distinct contemporary value and great practical significance for China to speed up the construction of a marine power and promote global marine governance. 

As a professional integrated water environment service provider and one of the leading enterprises in the domestic environmental protection industry, BEWG has attached great importance to the construction of marine ecological civilization. At the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return, BEWG Jiafa Group in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has been carefully guarding the beautiful coastline of the Pearl of the East.  

Professional guidance to open a new chapter in marine ecological protection

BEWG has been deeply engaged in its main business for many years, focusing on the recycling of water resources and the protection of water ecological environment, actively responding to  such global challenges as water shortage, climate change, ecological environment pollution, marine pollution, etc., continuously contributing to the construction of a good ecological environment, and wholeheartedly adding well-being to the people. 

To better protect the ecological environment, BEWG has continued to strengthen its capabilities, expand its service areas, and actively make layout of the clean sea area. In November 2019, it officially acquired Hong Kong Jiafa Group, and its solid waste business was extended from land to sea, continuously injecting momentum into the protection of the blue homeland and the construction of a beautiful China. 

As we all know, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is narrow and densely populated, and the increasing waste has brought great pressure to Hong Kong’s waste disposal. Some of the waste is directly dumped on the sea and beaches, and some are blown into the sea by wind. At the same time, with the increase of ships arriving at the port every year, ship surface accidents occur from time to time, resulting in the leakage of oil and dangerous substances at sea. These problems always threaten the marine environment of Hong Kong.

Taking Jiafa Group as one of the important carriers, BEWG actively develops the marine cleaning business by relying on its years of experience in marine cleaning and professional service capabilities. As the main partner of the Hong Kong SAR Government in undertaking the cleaning and treatment of marine garbage, BEWG Jiafa Group is responsible for the cleaning of Hong Kong’s sea areas and the treatment of marine oil  pollutants, including intercepting and collecting marine oil pollutants and cleaning up residual marine dangerous and harmful substances, protecting and repairing Hong Kong’s marine environment, and guarding this blue homeland for Hong Kong citizens. 

Innovation-oriented to guard the blue sea and blue sky with joint efforts

“We should strive to break through the scientific and technological bottleneck that restricts the development of marine economy and marine ecological protection by relying on scientific and technological progress and innovation.”

Guided by the national innovation-driven development strategy, BEWG has gradually implemented digital transformation, focused on the cutting-edge science and technology, and continued to innovate in science & technology and models. Under the guidance of the innovation strategy, BEWG Jiafa Group is also constantly practicing innovation and development. 

In 2021, BEWG Jiafa Group introduced a new “marine environment management system”, formulated and implemented the marine operation coordination strategies in a more efficient manner through more effective use of “big data”, and effectively improved the efficiency of monitoring services, standardized marine operations, optimized business processes, strengthened customer communication, improved safety conditions, etc. 

In terms of offshore operations, BEWG Jiafa Group has actively used high-tech means and equipment.

According to the prediction of the World Ocean Summit, the total weight of global marine plastic waste may exceed the total weight of fish by 2050. As a new pollutant, microplastics has become a major global environmental problem juxtaposed with climate change. In order to break through the shortcomings of traditional means in cleaning plastic particles, BEWG Jiafa Group introduced the patented technology of collecting marine trace waste---mini multi-functional cleaning ship in 2021 through cooperative design and research, which can collect both oil pollutant and small floating garbage. The micro floating waste on the ocean is brought into the mini ship collection system with the water flow. The negative pressure of the system separates the micro debris from the water and disposes it in a centralized manner, which greatly improves the efficiency of ocean cleaning and reduces the impact of plastic waste on the marine ecosystem. 

In order to improve the garbage collection capacity in shallow and narrow sea areas, this year, BEWG Jiafa Group has introduced the “dual-mode intelligent marine garbage cleaning robot” developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which can make the garbage in shallow and narrow sea areas have nowhere to “hide” through manned or remote operation and control, greatly improving the garbage collection efficiency in sea areas, and better guarding Hong Kong’s marine environment and serving Hong Kong citizens. 

Marine prosperity makes the country strong and the people rich. Relying on its industry influence, technical strength, service capability and action force, BEWG is gathering more majestic forces to build a bridge of sustainable development between land and marine ecological environment to make the blue planet always be clean and clear, and is striving to build a beautiful China with harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
