Ningbo’s coastal areas have entered a Level III typhoon emergency response.

The 9th typhoon of the year, "Bavi" (super typhoon), was located at 5:00 on July 8 at latitude 16.9°N and longitude 134.8°E, which is 1,970 kilometers away from the sea surface near Ningbo. The maximum wind force at the center is level 17, with the lowest pressure at 920 hPa. It is moving westward at a speed of 20-25 kilometers per hour. Based on the typhoon's dynamics and development trends, the Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration has decided to initiate a level III typhoon emergency response for the coastal areas of Ningbo starting from 9:00 on July 8.

After entering the level III typhoon emergency response, the maritime department continues to disseminate early warning and control information through VHF broadcasts, SMS platforms, and on-site patrols. On-site law enforcement forces are conducting inspections of docks, waterways, and sheltering waters. The Vessel Traffic Management Center is strengthening traffic organization and information services, conducting "spot checks" and "call responses" for key vessels such as passenger ferries, hazardous goods ships, construction ships, and non-powered vessels, urging ships to implement sheltering measures, avoiding overcrowding of anchored vessels, and preventing anchor dragging and collision accidents.

Relying on the independently developed "Disaster Weather Risk Prevention and Control" system, the Ningbo maritime department is monitoring changes in key meteorological elements such as wind force and sea waves in real time, accurately assessing risk levels, and providing scientific decision-making support for typhoon prevention work in the jurisdiction. As of 7:00 on July 8, 25 coastal passenger routes in Ningbo are being suspended gradually based on wind changes, with 3 routes already suspended. All 46 coastal water-related projects have been halted, with a total of 32 law enforcement vessel deployments and 831 law enforcement personnel dispatched, and 108 vessels inspected on-site.

The maritime department reminds coastal operating vessels to closely monitor weather developments and return to port in time to shelter from the wind; sheltering vessels should strengthen duty and implement all typhoon prevention measures. During the typhoon's impact, do not venture out to sea. In case of emergency, please call the nationwide unified maritime distress rescue hotline "12395".
