New plan
- Ferry services from Kinmen to Xiamen and Quanzhou will be suspended all day on Sept. 3 because of Typhoon Saudel’s peripheral circulation.
- The suspension covers routes from Kinmen’s Shuitou Port to Xiamen’s Wutong Port and Quanzhou’s Shijing Port.
- Passengers were advised to confirm schedules with ferry operators before traveling.
Typhoon Saudel’s outer circulation will halt all small-three-links ferry services between Kinmen and mainland China on Sept. 3.
Kinmen’s port authority said the suspension applies to both the Kinmen-Xiamen route, linking Shuitou Port with Xiamen’s Wutong Port, and the Kinmen-Quanzhou route, linking Shuitou Port with Quanzhou’s Shijing Port.
The authority said the decision follows Kinmen’s weather-related suspension mechanism. Passengers were urged to check their sailing times with ferry companies before heading to the port and to contact the Kinmen County Harbor Affairs Office with questions.
