China - fishery farms

London P&I is advising members and assureds whose vessels are bound for ports in China to note the latest update on fish farm distribution affecting approaches to several ports.

The ports mentioned include Dalian, Tianjin, Yantai, Laizhou, Rizhao, Lanshan, Penglai, Longkou, Weihai, Ningde and Kemen. This list is not exhaustive and may change.

Details, maps of the locations and recommendations on safe navigation are available in the circular from our correspondent, Oasis P&I Services Company Limited, which can be accessed here.

Members should always obtain the latest information from local agents on fish farm locations when planning a passage to or from Chinese ports. This will help avoid the risk of passing through fishery farms that are not yet shown on sea charts.
