Super high-speed train from Ho Chi Minh City

TPO - From May 13, 2024, the Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao sea route will officially come into operation.

Phu Quoc Express representative said that the Ministry of Transport and the Maritime Administration have approved the pilot exploitation of the passenger transport route by ship on the Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao route. The vehicle put into operation on this sea route will be the 1,017-seat high-speed ship named Thang Long.

Thang Long high-speed train will be put into operation on the Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao route.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the ship will pick up passengers and depart from Hiep Phuoc Port (Can Gio District) at 7:30 am. Passengers can board the transfer boat at Bach Dang Wharf (District 1) before that time. In Con Dao, the ship will pick up passengers at 1 pm every day at Ben Dam Port.

With a travel time of about more than 5 hours, the expected ticket price for the Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao route will range from 615,000 VND/passenger to 1,100,000 VND/passenger depending on the ticket type and peak time. In addition, passengers can buy additional package tickets including transfer tickets, shuttle bus tickets to the center in Con Dao as well as transportation and accommodation services in Con Dao. Currently, the ticket offices of tphcm-con-dao-post1603359.tpo">Phu Quoc Express have also opened ticket sales for this route.

It is known that the sea route Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao has been prepared by Phu Quoc Express, departments in Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria - Vung Tau province for quite a long time. The Thang Long high-speed boat was newly built by Phu Quoc Express specifically for this route and Hiep Phuoc port has been chosen as the main port for this sea route in Ho Chi Minh City.

However, because Hiep Phuoc port was previously planned to serve freight transport, relevant units had to propose to the transport sector to add passenger transport functions.
