Impact of the Storm on Fuel Supply Operations
According to estimates, Champi is expected to pass about 360 kilometers east of Taiwan on Friday and enter the East China Sea on Saturday. The storm is then expected to change direction towards the northeast and pass east of Zhoushan on Sunday, with winds decreasing to around 90 kilometers per hour.
