Liang Chao, executive deputy general manager of Haikou Xinhai Ferry Terminal Co., Ltd., introduced that we have reviewed and summarized some experiences during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival, combined with the needs of current operations, and made a series of adjustments to the ticketing rules on the south coast of the Qiongzhou Strait, with the following three main points:

First, during the "May Day" period, Haikou New Port and Xiuying Port Island tickets are pre-sold 15 days in advance, and the ticket release time is 9:00 a.m. Here we need to remind the majority of passengers and friends that they must arrange their travel time in advance, be sure to purchase tickets in advance, and enter the port according to the flight time.
Second, in order to facilitate the travel of the majority of drivers and passengers, we have improved and optimized the booking rules of ticketing, sales, refund and change rules, and please pay attention to the WeChat public accounts of "New Seaport" and "Qiongzhou Strait Ferry Butler" for the first time to learn the latest information.
The third is to increase the standby registration function, that is, in the case of tickets sold out, passengers can also wait for registration on the platform, and our dispatching center will increase flights in time to meet the needs of standby traffic.
Regarding the question of how to optimize and improve the cross-sea transportation support capacity of new energy vehicles, Liang Chao replied that from April 20, Hainan Port and Shipping will guarantee at least 4 new energy special classes out of the island every day, and plans to guarantee at least 6 new energy special classes during the peak period from April 30 to May 5, so as to fully guarantee the demand for new energy vehicles to cross the sea. The ticketing system has been upgraded and a new ticket standby function has been added, that is, when the tickets are sold out, passengers can also register through the standby, and we will add flights in time according to the needs of the waitlist. Since the launch of the waitlist function, more than 5,000 cars have been purchased through the waitlist, with a success rate of 93%.

"We're going to continue to improve the feature. I would like to remind the majority of passengers that when the number of new energy tickets is tight, please take the initiative to make an appointment and purchase tickets online through the standby function, and do not believe in the so-called priority tickets of 'scalpers'. Liang Chao said that the company adjusted the rules for the refund and change of ferry tickets for new energy vehicles to prevent "scalpers" from hoarding tickets and disrupting the market, and jointly with the public security department to severely crack down on "scalpers" reselling and selling tickets.
In addition, Shen Jiande, deputy director of the Haikou locomotive ferry section of Hainan Railway Co., Ltd., introduced the measures to ensure the transportation service of railway ferries during the "May Day" period.
"This year's 'May Day' transportation period is April 29-May 6, a total of 8 days, and it is predicted that the railway ferry is expected to send 82,000 passengers and 21,000 vehicles in and out of the island during the transportation period, and the passenger flow is expected to increase by 10% year-on-year. Shen Jiande said that in order to meet the needs of a large number of vehicles and passengers entering and leaving the island during the "May Day" period, the four ships of the railway ferry were put into the holiday transportation task, and the mode of "three ships running and one ship on standby" was implemented, and the maximum number of flights was organized according to the maximum of 16 pairs per day, and the cargo train flights were compressed from the original 5 pairs per day to 1 pair per day, so as to release the transport capacity of the transport car and give full play to the maximum capacity of the railway ferry.

It is reported that in order to do a good job in the organization of transportation. Railway ferries strictly implement the requirements of full reservation for sea crossing, increase the publicity of the full reservation of sea crossing policy through the "Railway Ferry" WeChat public account, WeChat group of cross-sea drivers, etc., guide drivers to make appointments in advance, and send additional staff to the scene to guide drivers and passengers, to ensure that vehicle passengers enter and exit the port in an orderly manner, and orderly disembark and disembark of ships, and adjust the pre-sale period of ferry tickets from 7 days to 15 days, so as to facilitate passengers to make travel plans in advance.
