According to media reports such as Hong Kong's Dagong Wenhui website, the organizer stated that at around 1 pm today, on-site staff entered one of the rubber ducks according to the procedure for routine inspection and found that the rubber duck skin was tense due to hot weather and rising air pressure. Due to the time required for the repair ship to arrive, after discussion, it was decided to loosen the connecting seam and release air in real time to avoid risks, and arranged for the ship to be transported back to the shipyard for repair. At the same time, the staff also inspected another rubber duck and found no abnormalities at the moment. The exhibition continued as scheduled.
Yesterday, "Rubber Duck Double Joy" held a preview day and departure ceremony at the Central and Western Seaside Promenade in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. The exhibition period of the rhubarb duck will depend on weather conditions and is expected to last for about two weeks.
