Our correspondents from the People’s Republic of China, Oasis P&I Services Company Limited, provided us with their latest circular highlighting high-risk water areas, which are frequent locations of collision incidents between vessels and fishing boats in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea.

“The fishing ban around Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea was lifted on 01 September 2023. Shandong MSA published a list of nine high risk water areas in Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea areas where vessels should strengthen lookout and maintain careful navigation to avoid collision with fishing boats.”

The circular includes safety guidelines for preventing collisions between merchant ships and fishing boats in Chinese coastal waters.

The Swedish Club publishes member alerts as a service to members. While the information is believed correct, the Club or the Correspondent cannot assume responsibility for completeness or accuracy.
