HAIKOU, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) — The Haikou Municipal Administration of Transport, Ports and Shipping, capital of South China's Hainan Province, has decided to suspend operations at Xinhai and Xiuying ports, as well as the railway south port, from Monday evening due to the impact of Typhoon Fengshen and cold air, the administration said in a notice.
Typhoon Fengshen, the 24th typhoon of the year, strengthened to a severe tropical storm at 2:00 PM that same day. As of 3:00 PM, the typhoon's epicenter was approximately 400 km from Yongxingdao Island in the South China Sea. The storm is expected to move east-north at 20-25 km/h, strengthening further and likely reaching typhoon strength at its peak before turning toward Vietnam's central coastal regions, the provincial meteorological service reported.
According to the notice, operations at the above three ports will resume around Thursday, depending on weather conditions.
In addition, some train services to and from Hainan Island were cancelled and emergency response levels were adjusted to enhance preparedness for possible natural disasters. -0-
