Checking inland waterway traffic safety for tourism during National Day holiday

On August 30, the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee organized an inspection of the work of ensuring traffic order and safety on inland waterways serving tourism in Vinh Hy Bay area in Vinh Hai commune (Ninh Hai) on the occasion of National Day holiday September 2, 2023.

According to the report of the local authorities and Vinh Hai border guard station, in Vinh Hy Bay there are currently 24 glass-bottom boats, 33 canoes, 7 floating restaurants and 31 jet skis. Of which, all glass-bottom boats, 17 canoes, 3 floating restaurants are qualified to operate tourism according to the law. The remaining jet skis are currently not qualified to operate and pick up passengers. Since the beginning of 2023, the local authorities have required owners of inland waterway vehicles that have not met the regulations to sign a commitment not to operate tourism, and have also increased inspection, detection and handling of 35 violations with a fine of more than 105 million VND. However, there are still cases where inland waterway vehicles that have not met the law are still secretly operating, causing traffic safety problems in the area.
