Explanation:
My dictionary has 防台 as "take precautions against typhoon". I don't know if this is right in your context...... If yes, then it should be some backup anchorages used during typhoons.

"上帝也不一定知道气象部门几乎每年都说今年台风都很多,那是叫大家随时注意防台。"

"请大家注意收听当地广播电台的天气预报,注意防台抗台..."

"进出港口或在港口防台时,应加强与港口联系 ... "

"热带气旋科研工作也取得了一定的成绩,使热带气旋预报水平不断提高,为防台抗灾斗争作出了巨大贡献 ... "
