This report details the implementation of the Hainan Province Coastal Security Regulation, which grants coastal security authorities in Sansha City powers similar to local police departments for inspection and administration. The regulation mandates strengthening patrols in Sansha City waters to enforce the law and defend national sovereignty. It identifies specific prohibited behaviors for foreign vessels within Hainan’s jurisdiction, such as illegally stopping or anchoring while transiting territorial waters, and grants authorities the power to inspect and administer vessels and crews.
