Coastal navigation vessels should pay attention to strengthening duty monitoring, comprehensively inspecting the main navigation equipment, hull, and anchoring equipment, and repairing any problems immediately.

Ships anchored in the port should be on duty, with reference points determined, anchor positions checked and anchor chain stress checked at any time. The anchor chains should be loosened sufficiently, and the main engine should be kept on standby. High frequency duty should be maintained, and the duty force and overall ship inspection frequency should be strengthened.

Passengers who have sea travel needs during the summer, please pay attention to typhoon warning information in a timely manner, plan your itinerary reasonably, and travel safely.
