Service was suspended early yesterday on small
passenger ferries running between the downtown and nearby islands, and some
cargo vessels were kept in port as a cold front swept the city with strong
wind.
Wind speeds on waterways near the mouth of the Yangtze River were
measured at 39 to 61 kilometers per hour late yesterday afternoon, according to
the Wusong Maritime Authority, which is in charge of shipping safety at the
mouth of the Yangtze River.
