We have received updated information on the distribution on major fishery farms along the Coast of China, as we provided with our Japan P&I News No.1224 and No.1244. This circular relates to the distribution on fishery farms in the waters off Tianjin/Yantai Port. We have obtained information on the geographic coordinates, recommended navigation routes and safety suggestions by Huatai Insurance Agency & Consultant Service Ltd. For details, please find attached their circular.

Fishery Farms in the Waters off Tianjin Port

Tianjin Port is a busy port in northern China; there are numerous ships navigating, anchoring and operating in the port, and the water area for safe anchoring in the anchorage, especially in Dagukou North Anchorage is limited. When a suitable anchor position is unavailable within the anchorage, ships planning to anchor at the Dagukou North Anchorage may choose to drop anchor outside the anchorage (east of the Anchorage) if permitted by VTS. In this case, the risk of ships accidentally entering the fishery farm will be increased.

Fishery Farms in the Waters off Yantai Port

The geographical scope of the fishery farms along the Coast of China is changing constantly; the scope of the fishery farms in the waters off Yantai Port mentioned in the previous circular No.1224 has been expanded.
