China Coast Guard - Equipment

Ships affiliated to the six directly affiliated bureaus of the China Coast Guard adopt 4-digit hull numbers: [4]

  1. The first digit is the number of the directly affiliated bureau: 1 to 6 represent the first directly affiliated bureau to the directly affiliated bureau 6 respectively.
  2. The second digit represents the tonnage of the ship: in thousands of tons, 0 represents less than 1,000 tons, 1 to 8 represent 1,000 tons to 8,000 tons respectively, and 9 represents 9,000 tons and above.
  3. The third and fourth digits are the ship serial number.

Ships affiliated to coast guard bureaus below the provincial level adopt 5-digit hull numbers:

  • The first and second digits are provincial bureau codes: 11 Jiangsu, 12 Shanghai, 13 Zhejiang, 14 Fujian, 21 Guangdong, 22 Guangxi, 23 Hainan, 31 Liaoning, 32 Hebei, 33 Tianjin, 34 Shandong.
  • The third digit indicates the tonnage of the ship: 0 for less than 500 tons and 6 for more than 500 tons.
  • The third and fourth digits are the ship serial number.

    Coast Guard ships are classified by class and named after islands and reefs. For example, the China Coast Guard 2203 Yushan ship, which is affiliated to the Second Bureau directly under the China Coast Guard, is named after the Yushan Islands in Xiangshan County, Ningbo City .

    Due to the amalgamation of so many forces to form the CCG, the number of ship types and their denomination is very varied and very confusing, with ships often still being referred to with their old "Haijian" (for Marine Surveillance), "Haiguan" (for Customs) or "Yuzheng" (for FLEC) numbers, or referred with their numbers prior to the (ongoing) renumbering.
