(QNgTV)- Waterway transport activities in Quang Ngai province are quite popular. Given the complicated situation caused by floods, the Department of Construction requested to rectify and synchronously deploy solutions to ensure safety.

The Department of Construction of Quang Ngai province requires the inspection, supervision and management of waterway transport activities to be implemented resolutely and strictly to prevent accidents from happening.

Quang Ngai Department of Construction directed relevant units and vehicle owners to strengthen inspection, supervision, and rectify shortcomings in waterway operations, and synchronously deploy solutions to ensure safety of inland waterway traffic in the context of the coming rainy season.

Communes, wards and special zones with waterways and ferries need to urgently review, inspect and strictly manage the activities of operating wharves. Resolutely suspend vehicles and wharves that do not meet safety conditions. Absolutely do not overload or carry more people than the prescribed number; do not operate in bad weather.

For ports, river crossings, and tourist ports, it is necessary to regularly reinforce and inspect vehicles, fire prevention and fighting equipment, rescue equipment, and be ready to respond to incidents. In Quang Ngai province, there are many types of water transport. The largest of these is the inland waterway route on the sea, Sa Ky - Ly Son, with a travel distance of about 18 nautical miles.

On the route, there is currently a fleet of high-speed boats with 8 modern vehicles operating to transport an average of 1,000 passengers/day in weather conditions of wind level 6 or lower. In addition, there is also a waterway route from Dao Lon to Dao Be (Ly Son Special Zone), the main means of transport is canoe. For water transport on the lake bed is also quite popular, but most of the boats are quite rudimentary.
