History
Haijian 84 (Chinese: 中国海监 84) was a China Marine Surveillance (CMS) cutter in the 8th Marine Surveillance Flotilla of the South China Sea Fleet.[1][6] She was commissioned on May 8, 2011 and was stationed in Guangzhou.[7][1]
On October 25, 2012, Haijian 84 entered Philippine claimed Chinese territory near Huangyan lsland.[8][9][10]
On July 2013, when the China Marine Surveillance was merged[11][12] into the China Coast Guard, Haijian 84 was transferred to the China Coast Guard and renamed to Hai'an,[2] her pennant number changing to 3184 (later changed again to 5103 between 2017 and 2022[13][14]).[4]
In 2017 the Hai'an responded to a hostage situation by pirates, rescuing 17 Chinese fishermen.[13][15]
On 18 August 2022 the Hai'an rescued a Vietnamese fisherman which had fallen overboard. The fisherman was later handed to the Vietnam Coast Guard search and rescue tug CSB 9003.[14]
On 24 January 2025, Hai'an assisted in preventing a Philippine incursion in Sandy Cay.[16]
On 31 January 2025 Hai'an and several other China Coast Guard cutters including Nansha conducted patrols in the South China Sea.[3]
