Ferry service provider Phu Quoc Express JSC has recommended halting the Danang-Ly Son route until the year-end due to modest passenger numbers and unfavourable weather conditions.

Ferry service provider Phu Quoc Express JSC has recommended halting the Danang-Ly Son route until the year-end due to modest passenger numbers and unfavourable weather conditions.

The company said that the service had been operated since April this year, using large 600-passenger capacity vessels. However, many trips only attracted a few passengers. This has resulted in huge losses for Phu Quoc Express Company, said the firm’s vice general director Ngu Thi Dieu Binh.

The company is also seeking approval for relocating the departure point of the route from the Han River Port to CT 15  Border Station near the Son Tra Peninsula to shorten travel times.

It takes passengers almost three hours to take the 135-kilometre Danang-Ly Son high-speed ferry route with the ticket price of VND410-590,000 per person.

Phu Quoc Express Company has also asked Quang Ngai Province for permission to run the high-speed ferry route from Sa Ky to Ly Son Island.
