On January 8, the leader of Phu Quoc City (Kien Giang) said that the Department of Transport and related units have reported and submitted a plan to put Phu Quoc International Passenger Port into operation, expected around mid-February 2025.
Phu Quoc City People's Committee plans to assign tasks to specialized units and departments to coordinate promptly to comply with maritime safety laws when receiving ships.
According to the leaders of Phu Quoc city, Phu Quoc International Passenger Port currently has some unfinished construction items such as the terminal and other auxiliary works. The province will carry out the architectural design competition for the terminal and construction of other auxiliary items in early 2025 and install a temporary operating system, ensuring good compliance with regulations.
Phu Quoc International Passenger Port started construction in 2015 (project implementation period from 2015-2025), with an area of 180 hectares (terminal 2.8 hectares) with a total initial investment of 1,644 billion VND, and a breakwater scale of 800m long.
The port can accommodate cargo ships up to 15,000 tons, international passenger ships with a capacity of 5,000 to 6,000 passengers. This will be the first multi-functional international passenger port meeting international standards in Vietnam.
