Kinmen Shuitou Travel Center has repeatedly experienced "solo passengers" asking other passengers to help carry goods, disrupting order. Therefore, the Port Bureau recently issued a draft notice to prohibit related behaviors. Violators may be fined not less than NT$5,000 but not more than NT$25,000.

The Ministry of Transport recently announced the amendments to the draft Article 36-2 and Article 70-1 of the "Commercial Port Law". Regarding passenger terminals, operating stations and other places for passengers to pass or use in the commercial port area, no behavior that disrupts order is allowed to protect the rights and interests of passengers, so the amendments have been added.

The Airport Authority stated that this revision of the law was mainly due to the occurrence of people commonly known as "solo passengers" at the Kinmen Shuitou Travel Center. They solicited and brokered other passengers to help carry cargo, or forced, entangled and obstructed the passage of other passengers, etc., affecting the terminal. Therefore, on July 21 this year, Kinmen County sent a letter to the Airport Authority to propose adding relevant provisions of the Commercial Port Law to curb such behaviors that affect the tranquility of passengers, traffic order and the quality of travel services in the port area passenger terminal, and to safeguard the rights and interests of other passengers.

The Port Bureau said that the main focus of this revision is to amend the draft amendments to Article 36-2 and Article 70-1 of the Commercial Port Act. Article 36-2 clearly stipulates that "baggage, cargo transportation, solicitation or media, etc.", "force, entanglement, chasing, etc. to disturb others, etc." shall not be allowed in the area. " "Piling up items without permission or obstructing traffic, etc.", "raising donations without permission, setting up stalls, etc." and "other behaviors that disrupt the order of the port area announced by the Port Bureau, Kinmen County Government, and Lianjiang County Government" and other violations, violators will be fined not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 25,000 yuan in accordance with Article 70-1.

The Airports and Ports Administration explained that after the regulations are announced, they will be submitted to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for review by the Executive Yuan, and then sent to the Legislative Yuan for review, so it is impossible to estimate the time it will take to get on the road.
