The port is currently experiencing wind gusts of 25–28 knots and swells of nearly one meter.

Despite this, operations at Zhoushan’s Xiushandong anchorage and Mazhi's inner anchorage remain unaffected.

Most suppliers anticipate resuming full bunkering operations in the OPL area after 25 July, the source added.
