Maritime authorities in south China鈥檚 Guangdong Province said that roll-on and roll-off passenger ferry services in the Qiongzhou Strait will be suspended due to forecasts of strong storms and winds.

The suspension began at 8pm last night, according to the maritime safety administration in the city of Zhanjiang.

July is a peak season for typhoons. As of 2pm yesterday, a total of 23 typhoon alerts had been issued in cities including Shantou, Chaozhou, Zhanjiang and Maoming.
