Haikou, February 17 (Reporter Wang Xiaobin) The South Port of the Qiongzhou Strait has ushered in the peak of passenger traffic out of the island in the past few days. In response to the problems of low efficiency of cross-sea vehicle owners, Liang Chao, executive deputy general manager of Haikou Xinhai Ferry Terminal, said at a press conference on the 17th that the current stranded vehicle passengers and vehicle passengers arriving at the port on time are superimposed, which puts pressure on the evacuation work.
According to reports, on February 16, there were 141 flights and 10 passengers in the Qiongzhou Strait in a single day10,000 people, 1 vehicle80,000 vehicles. Li Zhongbiao, deputy secretary-general of Haikou City, introduced that in order to further improve the evacuation capacity, on the basis of the 14 voyages of ships on the north coast to support the transportation of the south coast on the 16th, the 17th will continue to communicate with the north coast to empty 10 voyages to support the south coast, and make every effort to ensure the evacuation work out of the island. As of 12 o'clock on the 17th, the total number of cars booked to leave the island on that day was about 20,000, and about 9,000 cars had been transported out of the island, and about 1 was waiting to leave the island throughout the day10,000 units.
In response to the most important topics such as shipwrecks and low efficiency of sea crossing, Liang Chao introduced at the press conference on the Spring Festival transportation work of the Qiongzhou Strait in Haikou City in 2024 that due to the current return peak, the number of cars leaving the island in a single day has reached nearly 20,000, and the number of passengers is close to 100,000. At present, the stranded passengers and the passengers arriving at Hong Kong on time are superimposed, and it takes a certain amount of time to evacuate, and there will also be pressure on the subsequent evacuation. The port has cooperated with the public security and other departments stationed in the port to open all passable security checks, ticket inspections and identity verification channels to ensure that the port's capacity and vessel capacity are maximized. At present, the new seaport still implements the original reservation mechanism, and vehicles can only enter the port if they need to purchase a ferry ticket and meet the requirements of the arrival time.
In response to the problem of ticket purchase of new energy vehicles, Liang Chao said that on the basis of the current three special classes out of the island every day, the shipping department will open special classes in a timely manner according to the situation to meet the needs of new energy vehicles out of the island.
In view of the large number of vehicles and passengers waiting for the ferry and the long queuing time, Li Zhongbiao said that Haikou City has dispatched about 2,500 staff and volunteer service teams. In addition, more than 500 person-times were also arranged to carry out 24-hour package service work, encrypt the service grid, and make every effort to maintain order and warm heart during the evacuation period. At the same time, Haikou City also communicated with PetroChina and Sinopec to set up temporary refueling points, and arranged special personnel and special vehicles to concentrate on oil distribution guarantees.
Due to the current saturation of the three ports in Haikou, it is expected that the evacuation will reach about 9 hours, Li Zhongbiao suggested that the driver and passengers should go to the city to rest and adjust first, and do not go to the port for the time being, so the delayed ferry tickets will continue to be valid.
Li Zhongbiao said that Haikou City has organized the new seaport and Xiuying port to further optimize the shipping capacity and maximize the sale of tickets from February 18 to 20, and suggested that everyone leave the island at a staggered peak.
