In the early morning of Tuesday, 23rd July, Typhoon Prapiroon intensified and made landfall in Quang Ninh and Hai Phong before weakening into a tropical depression, causing heavy rains, affecting sea transport in Haiphong port. As a result, on 23rd July, Tan Cang Hai Phong International Container Terminal (TC-HICT) and Nam Dinh Vu port had to temporarily cease their operation.
Before hitting Vietnam, many parts of south China witnessed rainstorms and gusty winds from Sunday to Monday morning due to Typhoon Prapiroon, which leads to delays of vessels departing to and from China.
Gaemi, another tropical cyclone, is expected to pass the northern tip of Taiwan and land in China as a typhoon on July 23 and 24. Heavy rains and strong winds are forecasted to accompany Gaemi’s arrival, adding to the challenges posed by Prapiroon. Due to the impact of Gaemi, ferry services between Taitung County and Orchid and Green islands will be suspended on Tuesday and Wednesday. Whether services can resume on Thursday will depend on the storm's development, port authorities said.
Taipei, 11:30 p.m, July 22, The Central Weather Administration (CWA) issued a sea warning for Typhoon Gaemi as the storm was heading toward waters east of Taiwan.
Typhoon Gaemi is expected to lead to delay of air/sea schedule, port delay and make vessel schedule this weekend delay to 30~31 July, 2024.
