(Promulgated5 by the Ministry6 of Agriculture, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Communications, Administration for Industry and Commerce and General Administration of Customs on November 1, 1994)
In recent years, lawbreakers in some coastal7 areas have taken advantage of ships with “three noes”, which refer to ships with no ship number and name, no ship's certificate and no port of registry, to commit smuggling8 and other illegal activities and crimes, seriously endangering the maritime9 security and hampering10 normal production and transport. For the purpose of cracking down on such illegal activities and crimes, maintaining the normal maritime order and protecting the safety of the people's lives and property, it is necessary to resolutely11 check and ban ships with “three noes”。 An announcement is hereby made as follows:
1. Ships illegally built or transformed without completing the formalities of approval shall be confiscated12 by port or maritime law enforcement departments, such as fisheries administration and fishing port superintendency agencies, port superintendency agencies. Ship-building yards building or transforming ships without completing the formalities of approval shall be fined not more than twice the ship's price by the administration for industry and commerce; if the circumstances are serious, their business licences may be revoked13 according to law. Yards or places illegally building and transforming ships without approval and registration14 shall be banned by the administration for industry and commerce according to law, with their gains from sales and ships illegally built or transformed confiscated.
2. Port superintendency agencies, fisheries administration and fishing port superintendency agencies shall further intensify15 the control of visas over ships entering or leaving ports within their respective scopes of functions. Ships with “three noes” berthing16 in ports shall be prohibited from leaving and be confiscated. Their owners may be fined not more than twice the prices of such ships.
3. Fisheries administration and fishing port superintendency agencies, port superintendency agencies shall strengthen the administration of the maritime order in production, navigation and public security. The Customs offices and the frontier defence offices of the public security organs shall, at the time of maritime anti-smuggling work, ban ships with “three noes” by confiscating17 such ships sailing or berthing at sea upon seizure18, and may fine their owners not more than twice the prices of the ships.
4. If anyone refuses or obstructs19 law executives who perform their duty, the public security organ shall punish them according to the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Administrative20 Penalties for Public Security. If a crime has been constituted, the offender21 shall be transferred to the judicial22 organs for investigation23 for criminal liability according to law.
5. The frontier defence offices of the public security organs, the Customs offices, port superintendency agencies, fisheries administration and fishing port superintendency agencies may dismantle24 the seized ships with “three noes” on the spot, pay dismantling25 expenses from prices of ship remains26 and handle the balance as fines; or they may use the ships as executive ships with approval and completing necessary formalities, but may not convert the ships for other use.
Any unit or individual who possesses a ship with “three noes” must register it with the local port superintendency agency or local fisheries administration and fishing port superintendency agencies before the date of __ and wait for the decision. In case of failure to go to register within the time limit, the owner shall be punished seriously after seizure of his ship.
Anyone who uses ships with “three noes” to engage in illegal activities must voluntarily surrender to the public security organs before the date of __, or he shall be imposed more serious punishment according to law upon investigation.
6. This Announcement shall come into force on its promulgation27.
