en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Heihe Crew Rights Protection Center was officially inaugurated. Heihe Maritime Safety Administration, together with the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese Seamen's Trade Union, Heihe Municipal Bureau of Justice, Heihe Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, Heihe Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, Heilongjiang Heihe Waterway Affairs Center, Heihe Port Bureau Co., Ltd., and other seven units, jointly signed the Memorandum on the Collaborative Mechanism for Coordinating and Resolving Crew Rights Disputes in Heihe, marking the official operationalization of this multi-party collaborative platform for crew rights protection at the forefront of Sino-Russian cross-border shipping.

Heihe is a vital hub for Sino-Russian cross-border shipping, and the protection of crew rights is crucial to the safety and stability of border rivers and the order of foreign-related shipping. Leveraging the unique geographical advantage of the "Sino-Russian Twin Cities" formed by Heihe and Blagoveshchensk, and closely aligning with the frequent cross-border transportation between China and Russia, the Heihe Crew Rights Protection Center precisely targets the foreign-related labor rights demands of crews engaged in Sino-Russian cross-border shipping, featuring a distinct foreign-related protection characteristic.

In terms of organizational structure, the Heihe Crew Rights Protection Center has broken through the conventional multi-departmental coordination model, successfully establishing a "five-in-one" multi-dimensional collaborative framework involving local administrative agencies, provincial-level industry trade unions, and core port enterprises, namely "government, judiciary, port, shipping, and labor." This has opened up policy implementation channels for administrative mediation and frontline port rights protection, achieving comprehensive and full-chain protection.

At the inauguration ceremony, all parties pledged to break down information barriers, strengthen functional complementarity, and strive to create a "Heihe model" where "there are channels for appeals, disputes are resolved quickly, rights are protected without leaving the port, and services are always at hand."

The Heihe Crew Rights Protection Center has established a daily office at the Heihe Maritime Safety Administration, setting up five major collaborative mechanisms: Party-building guidance, dispute acceptance, joint handling, joint meetings, and information sharing. Various professional teams will focus on the diverse needs of inland river crews, border river shipping crews, and Sino-Russian cross-border crews, primarily engaging in rights dispute mediation, and promoting the standardization, professionalization, and long-term sustainability of rights protection work.
