It is worth noting that compared with the maritime law enforcement forces of other departments, the marine police is the only maritime armed law enforcement force in China. Although a small number of ships in the marine police force have the ability to carry helicopters, so far the marine police have not been equipped with ship-borne helicopters and do not have the ability to send helicopters to the police. The main task of the maritime police force is to combat crimes at sea, including piracy and terrorism.
