History

The Huyu was laid down in 2003. [1]

The Huyu was commissioned as Haijing 1001 (Chinese :海警 1001) in 2007 [1] as part of the People's Armed Police Border Defense Corps Coast Guard  [ zh ] Shanghai Division, [1] [6] which was a ministry of public security active service force. [12]

Haijing 1001 participated in security during Expo 2010. [1]

In March 2013, the Border Defense Corps Coast Guard was merged into the China Coast Guard, [13] and Haijing 1001 was renamed to Pudong (31101). [4]

She was renamed to Huyu(1105) after the China Coast Guard had pennant number reforms [9] while being handed to the People's Armed Police in 2018. [5] [14]

On 8 October 2016 Pudong patrolled near the Diaoyu islands. [15] [16]

On 26 April 2021, Huyu intercepted two boats smuggling cigarettes. [17]

It was deployed during the Joint Sword-2024B exercises during October 2024. [18]
