The Wuhan Yangtze Communication Industry Group Co.Ltd(600345) administration of the Ministry of transport recently announced that the fully domestic Beidou satellite foundation enhancement system project on the Yangtze River trunk line has been completed and put into use, and Beidou intelligent shipborne terminals have been put into the shipping market one after another. At present, the Yangtze Beidou system has provided services for more than 15000 ships, 1700 sets of ship emergency position markers, 4000 sets of personal distress beacons and 5600 trunk navigation aids.
Lu Minjun, deputy director of the administration, said that at this stage, the Yangtze River Beidou can serve social users, such as ports and terminals, shipping companies, surveying and mapping, water conservancy and other units, and can also provide temporal and spatial data support for water related management departments such as maritime supervision and channel maintenance of the Yangtze River trunk line.
The construction of Beidou satellite ground-based enhancement system project on the Yangtze River trunk line was started in November 2018, which took 12 months to complete the construction of the main project. 106 Beidou satellite ground-based enhancement system reference stations were built on the Yangtze River trunk line, covering an area of more than 80000 square kilometers. The Beidou satellite ground-based enhancement signal on the Yangtze River trunk line was fully covered two years in advance.
