According to the notice of the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration, from May 1, temporary traffic control measures will be implemented at the exit of the deep-water channel for large ships in the Yangtze River estuary. This is to ensure safe navigation in the adjacent waters and to deal effectively with the recent traffic pressures. During the control period, the vessel needs to comply with the instructions of the Maritime Safety Bureau and go to the designated berthing area in accordance with the relevant regulations to wait for the passage instructions. In order to reduce the impact on navigation, the Maritime Administration will provide real-time information and guidance so that ships can arrange their routes and itineraries reasonably.
And in parts of the East China Sea, military events will be held from May 1 to May 9. These activities may have an impact on navigation in the surrounding waters. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the event, control measures will be implemented in the relevant waters, including temporary closures and restrictions on traffic. Ships and people must pay attention to this military activity when planning a voyage, understand the control area, time and relevant regulations in advance, and properly arrange the navigation plan.
The Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration stresses that safe navigation is a top priority, and that safety should always be a priority for ships and seafarers. If you have an emergency or need assistance, please contact your local maritime communications center as soon as possible. At the same time, we also call on the majority of ships and the public to pay close attention to the relevant notices and the latest developments, and flexibly adjust the itinerary according to the actual situation to ensure the safety of navigation.
The traffic control at the mouth of the Yangtze River and military activities in the East China Sea may cause some inconvenience to navigation, but these temporary measures are necessary to ensure the safety and stability of the sea area. Please actively cooperate with the guidance of the relevant departments, plan your actions reasonably, and pay attention to the latest announcements and dynamic information at any time during the voyage.
