The 2nd Patrol Vessel Type 818, hull number 46302, was delivered to the Chinese Coast Guard on June 13th.

Yes, the second Type 054A design converted into Coast Guard use.

EXCELLENT vessels. With tow Type 630 CIWS and the 76mm gun, it has a strong punch and defense for a coast guard cutter.

...and displacing over 4,000 tons and a length of 134 meters, beam of 16 meters, speed of 27 knots, and range of 8,000 nautical miles, makes this one of the larger and more capable caost guard cutters around the world.

Hope it is not too much off topic, but since it is related to the CCG I do not want to open a new thread:

In March 2016 the first MA-60H was delivered to the China Coast Guard ...

... but in October 2016 another or the same reappeared and was handed over and entered service in April 20147 only.

So my question is: is the one on top still shown in CCG-colours or is it the same - now repainted to State Oceanic Administration colours - aircraft, which is now the parent agency.

By the way, the four Chinese characters on the fuselage is not the name of the State Oceanic Administration 国家海洋局 ???

Can anyone translate please?

The 1st pic was celebrating a successful test for the axillary fuel tank's release at altitude, not delivery; it'd be helpful if you can provide when the 2nd pic was taken, though.

BTW, the SOA only serves as a parent admin organization for a bunch of agencies including the CCG, but it has no vehicle of its own.

CMS merged into the CCG since the latter's formation in 2013.

Yes indeed ... like i said! Both CMS and CCG were merged under the auspice of the SOA, however - and that's what I find very much confusing - still they carry the SAO-logo, they wear the CMS-title in Chinese characters and are called Coats Guard in several publications.

To admit, I'm confused.

Thanks for making that clear ... so it is most likely the same aircraft just repainted.
The second image is from Henry K's blog and is said to be taken either on delivery in October 2016 or during service entry in March/April 2017.

PS: By the way, do we have images of the Z-9 operated by the CCG, CMS or SOA??

The China Coast Guard (CCG) said Friday that three foreigners were rescued after their sailboat was stranded in the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea.

After receiving distress signals on Jan. 1, the command center of the CCG dispatched a patrol boat to help. Rescuers found the boat stranded on a shoal with three crew onboard.

Rescuers were unable to tow the boat off the sandbar and refloat it. The crew members, from Switzerland, France and Poland, were transferred to the patrol boat on Jan. 2 after being stranded for 27 hours.

The 28-meter "Pangaea" set out from a port in Brazil and became stranded due to bad weather and a faulty navigational system.
