Han Yu followed Captain Wang onto the ship and entered the command room on the first floor, picking up the trial sailing plan and discovering that there were quite a few items to inspect.
The main items included preparation work, main propulsion system test, speed test, maneuvering test, inertia test, heading stability test, anchor equipment test, tug test, system equipment inspection, and power station operation inspection. Several items required data recording.
Captain Wang pointed at the plan: "The shipyard dock has bollards, but Bailong River is too narrow, and there are many passing ships, so the tug test cannot be conducted in the river."
The so-called tug test involves tying the ship to a bollard, turning the main engine power to maximum, and observing how much pulling force it can generate.
If a bollard is uprooted, or if the cable breaks, it could easily cause casualties.
Therefore, no one should stand near the cable during the test, and also not while towing normally.
