Shipping transport between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan has been partially suspended as super typhoon Usagi strengthens over the Pacific and heads towards China's coast.
Most shipping lines from Xiamen City to Kinmen and all lines from Quanzhou City to Kinmen were canceled today.
Usagi is expected to hammer south China's Guangdong Province between tomorrow afternoon and Monday morning.
Usagi's center was 180 km southeast of Taiwan at 9am today. It was moving northwest at a speed of up to 20 km per hour, said meteorological authorities.
The National Meteorological Center issued the highest level of alert for super typhoon Usagi, warning it will bring gales and rainfall to the southern and southeastern coastal areas.
The center said Usagi would bring strong storm to east of Taiwan and the coastal areas of Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces on Saturday and Sunday.
Meanwhile, the government in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has issued alerts and officials in Hainan Province were told to step up their typhoon watch.
