Typhoon season in Hong Kong is from May to October, with most typhoons arriving between mid-July and late September.
The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) provides advance warning and tracking of typhoons over a wide-ranging area. It tracks storms that threaten to approach Hong Kong and those whose passage brings less wind but heavy bands of rain.
As per the ABC Bye-laws, members within the Club premises will be kept informed of tropical storm signals either by the posting of notices or by announcement.
It is the owner’s responsibility to secure a boat’s mooring and look after its overall safety. ABC reminds all boat owners that ABC staff are not supposed to board boats to clear decks, and despite ABC helping to check moorings components for safety, owners must secure their own mooring lines.
You must therefore come to check your boat before the HKO hoists a typhoon signal 3, as the club will cease sampan service then. Once signal 3 is hoisted, ABC staff will be very busy completing Club safety procedures to secure the entire Club, moorings and pontoons, safety steps that begin when a typhoon 1 signal is hoisted.
Steps to take for boats’ safety and security
If a typhoon is approaching, boat owners should prepare to secure their mooring early – it is much harder to work in strong winds and heavy rain. In advance of typhoons, to protect boats and ensure safety, boating members should consider taking the following actions for boats on moorings (advice supplied by professional mariners):
Some boats may need ABC staff to help secure them to one another to avoid them bashing against one another during high winds and seas. The trustworthy ABC team has an excellent record for safety under typhoon conditions, having safeguarded boats for 40 years.
Club operations during typhoons
When Typhoon Signal Number 8 is hoisted, Club operations will cease and all members, guests, and staff, with the exception of caretaker staff, will be required to vacate the Club premises.
In the event of members or guests being unable to leave the Club premises owing to lack of transport or other circumstances, the public rooms will remain open for use but very limited food, drink or service of any kind will be available.
