When did the Typhoon arrive on the ferry?

The landing is not "a cut," mainly due to wind force and sea conditions.
Many passengers are accustomed to think that only Typhoon Landfall will stop, in fact. the ferry and passenger ship stop is a dynamic adjustment process, the core is based on live Wind Scale and sea wave height, not a mere Time point. according to China Meteorological Bureau's tropical cycling level national standards, when the largest wind force near the tropical cycling center reaches a certain level, or its peripheral flow leads to large wind waves in the sea area of the route, the maritime department will intervene in the assessment.
Typically, once the weather department releases a typhoon blue or yellow early warning, the shipping company will go to alert state.If the expected wind force along the route or port area continues to exceed the safety wind resistance level of the ship (usually passenger vessels are very sensitive to wind breaks and floods) , In order to safeguard the safety of life property, landing instructions will be issued in advance.
Common associations between early warning signals and shutdowns
While the standards may vary, depending on the local government’s release, we can refer to the general response logic to predict the risk of shutdowns:
- Typhoon Blue WarningShipping companies will typically intensify operations, and some ships with long lines or weaker wind resistance may begin to adjust their schedules or suspend the sale of tickets, advising passengers to pay close attention to the announcement.
- Yellow Typhoon WarningMost coastal inland ferries, cruise ships will officially announce shutdowns at this stage.This is the most common stop-off trigger node, because at this time the winds tend to have reached levels 7-8 or above, and small ships are at great risk of navigation.
- Typhoon orange and red warningTyphoon approaching or seriously affected. all water passenger transport is basically complete Stop, ports closed, ships entering ports with wind shelter.
It should be noted that even if the level of early warning is not reached at its highest, in the event of sudden strong weather or abnormal tide in local waters, the Maritime Administration also has the right to impose temporary traffic controls, forcing the ship to stop sailing.
How to obtain the most accurate return information?
After the Typhoon transit, the most concerned is "when to reboot". reboot time also has no fixed formula, it depends on the speed of reboot after the Typhoon, the path cleaning and the ship safety inspection results.
In order to avoid obstructions, the following measures are recommended:
- Focus on official channelsDon't trust the unofficial news, directly view the local maritime agency, the port group or shipping company's official website and WeChat Public.
- Reserve flexible timeDuring the typhoon season, try to avoid arranging closely linked follow-up journeys for possible delays or cancellation of buffering periods.
- Changes in advanceOnce the stop notice is seen, immediately process the refund or change of the ticket through the original ticket purchase channel, to avoid additional losses.
