Mr. Vu Van Khuong - Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Phu Quoc Express - added that the Thang Long ship was specially designed to run the route from Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao. Therefore, the length of the ship is up to more than 77m to rest on at least four waves. This is to create stability and reduce maximum vibration.

"The Thang Long super speedboat can operate safely on vast seas, to the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa islands," said Mr. Khuong.
