The clarification led to a quick turnaround. During a cold air event this week, MSC relied fully on the port's meteorological guidance, allowing its vessels to enter and leave on schedule. "It shows how precise weather services and smart early warning system can genuinely empower port operations," he said.

Since 2024, officials have issued 135 targeted warnings for high-impact weather and conducted 65 coordinated operations for traffic control, Huang said.

Port statistics show the early-warning system added an estimated 98 hours of workable time last year and generated 370 million yuan ($51 million) in direct economic benefits.
