"I spent half an hour grabbing tickets online. To Zhanjiang, because the foggy weather is closed at high speed, you can only take the path. " Mr. Tang recalled to the Red Star reporter that in order to get to the port early, some cars drove directly to 120 with a speed limit of 80, and sometimes even went backwards. "A friend said that if you meet a scalper, you can take a shortcut and charge 400 yuan. Fortunately, I have a wife who looks at the navigation command all the time. "

"At the last stop, I followed a bus because they were familiar with the road conditions." Mr. Tang said, but on the way into Hong Kong, he was still blocked. "At least blocked 10 km. For a long time, it was blocked by big trucks. I heard that the fog stopped for four or five days some time ago, which caused them to delay boarding. "

The Red Star journalist noticed that Mr. Tang's experience was not the worst. According to the report of Metropolitan Express 17, Mr. Chen's family of four in Zhejiang Province went to Hainan for the New Year by car on June 14, and arrived at xuwen county Hai 'an New Port on June 17, and were caught in a "century traffic jam". "I came in at about 2 pm, and I advanced 300 meters at 5: 00 and 3 hours. The master who was in front of me came at 3 pm yesterday and waited in line. He only walked 2 kilometers in 22 hours. " Mr. Chen said.

Mr Cai, from Shenzhen, decided to abandon the boat after finding that there were traffic jams at both ports. "The ticket to Haikou is too expensive, so we decided to drive. Xu Wen arrived at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on 17, found a traffic jam and stopped at a local friend's house, then took the motorcycle away. " Mr. Cai said.

At 20: 54 on June 7, 65438, Mr. Cai successfully boarded the ferry to Haikou. But a friend of his who insisted on driving, 17, set off at 6: 00 in the morning and arrived in Haikou at 1 1 the next night. "It is reasonable to say that you can arrive at 10 at the latest that night, but it was blocked on the way to Hong Kong."

Mr. Cai said that in fact, the roads in and out of the port are all two-way and eight-lane, but congestion still occurs. "No one will direct traffic."

Official: Due to the backlog of heavy fog, it is fully dredging.

On the night of 65438+ 10 19, a staff member of Xuwen Port told the Red Star journalist that the reason for the congestion was that the ferry was suspended due to the fog in Qiongzhou Strait some time ago. "The cars in front are waiting in line to enter the port, and the passengers in go on road trip keep pouring in."

The reporter found that as early as 65438+ 10/3, Haikou Municipal Transportation and Port and Shipping Administration issued a reminder: due to foggy weather, Xinhai Port, Nangang Railway and xiuying port have stopped working, so cross-sea vehicles should not go to the port. At that time, there were about 900 vehicles waiting to cross the gate in Haikou Port 3, and it is estimated that it will take 6 hours to evacuate after the resumption of navigation. In the next two days, the local foggy weather continued, causing the passenger ro-ro ship in Qiongzhou Strait to be suspended intermittently for about 22 hours, and a large number of passengers waiting for crossing the sea were stranded in Xuwen Port.

According to media reports, it was not until June 65438+1October 65438+June 6 that the stranded vehicles on the north shore of Qiongzhou Strait were evacuated in an orderly manner and boarded one after another. However, there were too many vehicles in the early stage, so the traffic on the relevant sections was congested.

Xuwen county Emergency Bureau 17 announced that in view of the increasing number of vehicles crossing the sea, xuwen county quickly took emergency measures to divert vehicles. The car passes through Xuwen Port; The truck passes through Hai 'an New Port and Guangdong-Hainan Railway North Port; The shuttle bus passes through Xuwen Port, Hai 'an New Port and Guangdong-Hainan Railway North Port. The implementation time is 8: 00 am on June 65438+10/October 65438+August 2023. "At the same time, we also launched an emergency plan, including port staff and 49 transport ships all on duty 24 hours a day." The aforementioned Xu Wengang staff said that a large ship can transport 200 passenger cars at a time, and the capacity can fully meet the demand.

For the case that the network can't buy tickets, the staff said that there are too many vehicles entering Hong Kong, causing congestion. "So we stopped buying tickets online because we can't guarantee to arrive at the port in time. We have arranged special personnel at the port to guide drivers to buy tickets or self-service machines to ensure that they can board the ship when they arrive. "

"Large trucks are relatively easy to manage, but individual bus drivers will lead to traffic chaos in order to enter Hong Kong early, and it is easy to get emotional when they stop." The staff member expressed the hope that drivers would obey the traffic rules and queue up to enter Hong Kong.

According to Zhanjiang Daily, Xuwen traffic police diverted traffic.

"Our traffic police are all present, and the organization department has also transferred the support of party member cadres." Referring to the traffic jam in Xuwen Port, an official replied that after the establishment of Xuwen Port to load small cars and Haian New Port to load trucks, all cross-sea vehicles moved into these two ports in an orderly manner. "From 65438+1October 15 to 18, the two ports sent 27,000 vehicles and more than 65438+10,000 passengers every day."

Regarding the problem that netizens reflect that scalpers lead the way at a high price, the official said that this phenomenon does not rule out during traffic jams. "Our county public security iron fist, captured a number of scalpers. Transit vehicle personnel can call to report at any time. "

According to the report of Zhanjiang Rongmedia on June 16, Qiongzhou Strait was suspended intermittently from June 13 to June 15 due to the foggy weather. In order to do a good job in the diversion of stranded vehicles and passengers, the xuwen county Municipal Party Committee and County Government quickly launched an emergency plan, and organized the county emergency management bureau, county transportation bureau, Tuanxuwen County Committee, county public security bureau and other departments as well as township streets to pay close attention to the diversion of vehicles, care for passengers, and ensure the smooth and safe cross-sea passage.

The report also said that the Xuwen County Committee of the Communist Youth League organized more than 30 volunteers to run on important sections of ports such as Xuwen Port, Hai 'an New Port and Hainan Railway North Port, and sent bread, mineral water and other caring materials to stranded passengers free of charge.
