Maritime authorities have proactively implemented preventive measures—shutting down operations, evacuating personnel, and redirecting vessels—to cope with Typhoon “Bavi.”

Typhoon "Bavi" is gradually approaching the southeastern coast of China. At 9:00 AM on July 8, the Ministry of Transport initiated a Level 4 typhoon defense response, deploying provincial transportation authorities and affiliated units to take proactive defense measures, including implementing "stop, close, evacuate, transfer" actions in advance.

At 8:00 AM on the 8th, the Zhejiang Maritime Bureau initiated a Level 3 typhoon emergency response. All 205 coastal hydraulic projects across Zhejiang have been suspended, 546 construction vessels have been evacuated to safe waters to shelter from the storm, and 52 passenger routes and 98 passenger vessels have been urgently suspended. Over 3,000 people have been assisted in evacuating from remote islands such as Huaniu Island, Xiaoqushan Island, and Dacheng Island. Maritime authorities have issued a total of 41,000 warning messages, inspected vessels 8,700 times, and dynamically deployed 72 patrol boats, 8 high-powered tugboats, and 1 specialized rescue aircraft on standby to ensure rapid handling of various emergencies.

The Zhejiang maritime authorities have required vessels to strengthen communication with shore, closely monitor typhoon developments, formulate reasonable navigation plans, and avoid areas affected by the typhoon as early as possible. Coastal vessels should enhance watchkeeping, while anchored vessels in ports should reinforce navigation shifts, constantly verify anchor positions, and check anchor chain stress conditions.

As of 12:00 PM on the 8th, 8 passenger ferry routes and 22 passenger ferry vessels along the Fujian coast have been suspended, and all 110 ongoing hydraulic projects have been halted. Additionally, 275 construction vessels have been evacuated to safe waters. The Fujian Maritime Bureau initiated a Level 3 typhoon emergency response, designating the northern waters of Quanzhou as a key defense area and strictly implementing the "Ten Checks" measures for typhoon prevention.

Currently, the Fujian maritime authorities are continuously conveying warning information to shipping companies, hydraulic project departments, and vessels in port. Through coastal radio stations and on-site inspections, they are providing "point-to-point" guidance for vessels to avoid typhoon-affected waters. They are focusing on reminding passing vessels in open seas, guiding them to shelter in safe waters, actively conducting hazard inspections, and relocating and evacuating large vessels, hazardous material vessels, and offshore construction vessels. They are organizing timely suspensions of passenger ferry routes, port terminals, and offshore construction projects. Collaborative control measures are being strengthened, ensuring coordination with neighboring provinces for vessel sheltering, dynamically deploying maritime emergency forces, and achieving precise defense arrangements.
