The arrival of the cruise ship is an important opportunity for the development of Zhejiang's marine and shipping economy. However, with cruise ships carrying thousands of passengers and the peak fishing season in Zhejiang's coastal waters overlapping, there are navigational safety challenges. The cruise ship's north-south route intersects with the east-west routes of fishing vessels, posing potential risks.

"The healthy development of the cruise market relies on the safety and security of the navigational environment," said Zhang Bingqiang, deputy director of the Ship Department of Zhejiang Maritime Safety Administration. "We convened a pre-cruise safety assessment meeting with relevant departments to review potential risks along Zhejiang's coastline. We guided the cruise line on conducting safety checks, personnel training, and improving contingency plans."
