As of 11:00 on September 7, vehicles were no longer permitted to enter Qiongzhou Strait ports. The resumption time will be announced based on the typhoon's impact.
After 18:00 on September 7, trains on the Shenzhen-Zhanjiang line will be partly suspended or adjusted to terminate at Guangzhou South Railway Station. Between September 6 and 7, cross-sea trains to and from Hainan Island will be redirected to Guangzhou Baiyun Station.
