Cleaning Up of Enteromorpha around Qingdao Waters - 1 May to 1 Sept 2022

Chinese flag

The Club would like to draw Members' attention to the latest circular from our correspondent in China, Oasis P&I Services Limited. A clean-up operation of enteromorpha (a green alga) is currently taking place along the coastal waters of Qingdao, and will continue until 1 September. As a large number of fishing boats are involved in the clean-up operation, Members are recommended to avoid navigating in this area, if at all possible. If this is not possible, then the recommended routes as shown in the attached circular should be used, and the Ship Routing System strictly followed. 

Please download Oasis' P&I's Circular No. 2205 below for additional details.
