CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Water level of the Yangtze River has entered a lowering season recently. Channels at Sanjiaoqi, Bajiaotan and Hujiatan under jurisdiction of Chaotianmen Marine Department of Chongqing are becoming shallower and narrower. For this reason, Changjiang Maritime Safety Administration enforced traffic control at Chaotianmen Port Area that ships with draught above 2.7m are not allowed to enter the port area.
