中国交通部：中国在南海建设五座大型灯塔
中新社宁波7月10日电 (丁栋 林波)中国交通运输部官员10日在宁波表示，自2015年5月开始，中国陆续在南海岛礁开工建设5座大型灯塔。截至目前，华阳、赤瓜、渚碧、永暑等4座灯塔已先后建成发光，美济灯塔主体建设也已基本完成。
7月11日是第12个中国航海日。在10日举行的2016年中国航海日新闻发布会上，中国交通运输部海事局局长许如清介绍，这5座灯塔均为大型多功能灯塔，可提供综合导航助航服务。塔高均在50—55米之间，装配现代化大型旋转灯器，配备直径4.5米灯笼，夜间发白光，灯光射程22海里。
据介绍，除了具备发光功能外，灯塔还安装有船舶自动识别系统(AIS)和甚高频(VHF)通信基站，具有无线电航标的助航和导航服务功能，船舶可利用船载设备与灯塔基站进行通讯，接收灯塔基站播发的航海安全及预警信息。船舶也可主动向灯塔基站提供船舶动静态信息等相关信息，或是请求提供服务和帮助。
“这5座灯塔是中国在南海海域建设的重要公益性服务设施，将与中国沿海设立的2000余座灯塔、灯桩一样，全天候、不间断的为海上生产作业、船舶航行、减灾救灾等活动，提供良好的导航和助航服务。”许如清说，具体功能体现在三个方面：
一是保障了国际航线通航安全。作为国际海事组织的成员国，中国有责任履行承担南海国际海运通道的航行安全、人命救助和环境保护的义务，在加强南海海域航海保障设施和能力建设的同时，也致力于与周边国家及国际社会加强合作，为南海航行安全和环境保护提供支持和保障。
二是为海上搜寻救助、防灾减灾提供了基础设施支持。2013年到目前为止，在南海海域船舶遇险事故中，中国已成功救助了中外籍遇险人员3396人。通过灯塔这一基础设施的建设和使用，可以为在南海海域航行的商船渔船，提供救助协调指导和气象灾害预警、预防信息服务。
三是有利于降低船舶溢油风险，保护南海海洋生态环境。灯塔的建成使用，能够帮助船舶在航行过程中进行有效定位和航路指引，这对于预防事故险情的发生，降低船舶溢油污染的概率，进而有效保护南海海洋生态环境，都将起到重要的支持保障作用。
