Zhanjiang maritime department opened a "green channel" at sea for the supply of coronavirus prevention materials on Hainan Island Jan 30, shipping two vehicles with medical supplies from Hai'an New Port to Haikou.

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, Hainan province's emergency products have been in short supply. Relevant departments in Xuwen county, Zhanjiang, have adopted measures to fully ensure emergency supplies reach Hainan.

As of Jan 31, the maritime department had successfully guaranteed five shipments that included 13 vehicles equipped with medical masks, disinfectants, iodine and other materials, with the average crossing time being shortened by an hour.
