Wave heights of about 2-3 meters were expected from 11-14 June 2556, all boats should proceed with caution.
The two ferry boat companies were told to be extra careful and ensure they had a sufficient number of life jackets for adults and children. Passenger boats were told they should monitor the situation continuously.
