On the morning of January 4, 2021, Haikou Maritime Court held a party group extended meeting to study the spirit of the speech of Zhou Qiang, president of the Supreme People's Court, delivered during his research on courts of Hainan Province. Major court leaders and heads of all divisions attended the meeting.
The meeting pointed out that Zhou’s special trip to Haikou Maritime Court during his research fully demonstrated his concern and support for the maritime judicial work. Zhou expected better maritime adjudication service to guarantee the construction of the Free Trade Port and safeguard the state’s maritime rights and judicial sovereignty.

We should offer judicial protection to the marine ecological environment and deliver highlight cases of maritime trial. We should step up efforts to build the two “one-stop” diversified dispute resolution systems to address disputes at the root.

Development of maritime court relies on innovation. We should follow the requirements of Shen Xiaoming, secretary of the provincial Party committee, to Emancipate the Mind, Be Bold to Explore and Try, Dare to Foster Innovation, and put the integrated innovation of system as a work priority. We should be problem-oriented, tackle the issues which are closely connected with maritime trial, and set examples that other courts may refer to. We should intensify trial and research of cases involving the Free Trade Port, draw conclusions from different types of cases, and form a maritime adjudication rule applying to the Free Trade Port, so as to deliver quality cases. We should encourage every member of the court to develop innovative thinking and put it into practice.
Third, fulfilling all tasks and missions with determination
We should implement the SAR（Special Administrative Region） spirits to take risks and make innovations, and safeguard the Free Trade Port construction with a sense of responsibility and mission. We should overcome the negative thinking of waiting for help or relying on others, and actively move forward on all tasks. We should adhere to the general principle of seeking progress while keeping performance stable, and formulate overall plans to steadily promote our work. We should promote the spirit of perseverance and dedicate ourselves to fulfilling all decisions and arrangements.
Fourth, persevering in exercising self-discipline in the Party
We should take Party conduct as a work priority and make use of the “four forms” of discipline supervision and enforcement. We should take prompt action to nip corruption in the bud. We should learn lessons from Zhang Jiahui and Wang Qingwei cases, keep ourselves self-disciplined, and effectively hold the bottom line.
