CCG Main Headquarters: The
CCG is known to perform mostly coastal and oceanic search and rescue or
patrols, including anti-smuggling operations. During wartime it may be placed
under the operational control of the People's Liberation Army Navy.
Command:
The Chinese Coast Guard was not under an independent command until 2013.
Formally they were part of the armed police, under the local (provincial)
border defense force command. The largest operational unit of the CCG is a CCG
flotilla, which is a regimental-level unit in China’s military administrative
hierarchy. Every coastal province has 1 to 3 Coast Guard flotillas. Currently
there are twenty CCG flotillas across the country.:

Inventory Equipment Note: The CCG has
received quite a few large patrol ships that would significantly enhance their
operations. Hai Guan(customs), militia, police and other services operate
hundreds of small patrol craft. For maritime patrol services, these craft are
usually quite well armed with machine guns and 37mm AA guns. In addition, these
services operate their own small aviation units to assist their maritime patrol
capabilities. CCG operates a handful of Harbin Z-9 helicopters, and a maritime
patrol aircraft based on the Harbin Y-12 STOL transport.
Vessels:
Chinese Coast Guard ships are painted white with blue stripe and wording China
Coast Guard in English and Chinese. Typical Coast Guard ships include the 130
ton Type 218 patrol boat (100 boats), armed with twin 14.5mm machine guns,
assorted speedboats, and few larger patrol ships. Up until very recently, the
largest ship in Chinese Coast Guard service was the 1,500 ton Type 718 cutter
(31101 Pudong). In March 2007, it was reported that the PLAN has transferred 2
Type 728 cutter (44102,ex-509 Changde;46103,ex-510 Shaoxing) to the Coast Guard as and re-numbered
1002 & 1003. These ships are the largest vessels in the Coast Guard
inventory. Other boats 80 Vessels
