The rock is submerged at high water and presents a significant shipping hazard due to its location in the middle of the Adamasta shipping channel. The Hong Kong Marine Department has installed a fixed beacon (isolated danger) on the rock and two cardinal buoys on either side to warn shipping.
On Sunday 8 May 2011, the river trader "Zhong Fu Fa Zhan" grounded on the rock.
