Zhejiang Taizhou Coastal Ferry Routes Suspended Due to Cold Air Mass

Affected by a southward-moving cold air mass, rough seas and strong winds have increased maritime navigation risks off the coast of Zhejiang's Taizhou, with gusts reaching levels 8 to 9 in some areas. To ensure public safety on the water, all 10 passenger ferry routes along the Taizhou coast, except those in Yuhuan, have been suspended. During the suspension, the Taizhou Maritime Safety Administration will closely monitor weather and wind conditions, update navigation warnings in real time, conduct routine port inspections, and manage vessel wind-avoidance operations to urge ships within its jurisdiction to anchor safely and prevent maritime accidents. The administration also reminds citizens that sea conditions remain hazardous during strong winds; please pay close attention to weather updates and navigation status, plan your travel accordingly, and do not risk taking boats out to sea.
