So far, the Taiwan government and relevant units have not implemented any port control measures. However, vessels sailing to or passing through Taiwan should avoid the military exercise areas.
Some of the exercise areas are within the VTS range of various ports of Taiwan and the port control bureau has set up a warning range. If a vessel enters the area, it will prompt a warning by the port VTS and be requested to leave as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
However, the power of radar and radio is limited, vessels should be careful to avoid entering the exercise area beyond 20 NM.
