🚢 Update: Maritime incident affects CJK waters! 🌊
On April 28th, 2024, approximately 30 containers fell into the sea, 50 nautical miles from the CJK mouth.
In response, port authorities have issued essential updates. As of April 29th, bulk carriers are now permitted to navigate in and out of CJK, albeit with a maximum draft of 9.00 meters. Notably, all bulk carriers will resume operations by tomorrow, April 30th, while chemical vessels remain exempt from these allowances.
As we continue to monitor the situation closely, our priority is to provide the latest weather updates for ports across China. Stay informed with our real-time forecasts below.
