Winds near the typhoon eye were up to 180 kilometres per hour yesterday afternoon, as it moved westward to the eastern shore of Hainan.

At least one fisherman is missing after three fishing boats capsized in waters near Nan'o Island in Guangdong Province, while 16 others were rescued, sources from Guangdong Provincial Marine Rescue Center said.

By yesterday evening, marine rescue workers were still searching for the missing fisherman.

"The wind and the waves are really too strong to continue fishing in the sea," Xu Weisheng, a fisherman in Xuwen County, said yesterday.

"It might cause marine accidents if fishing continues in such bad weather," he added. Xu had put his fishing boat in a local typhoon shelter on Saturday noon.
