The inspection team also requested the People's Committee of Hong Tien Commune (Kien Xuong District, Thai Binh Province) to be responsible for supervising and urging the owner of Con Nhi ferry to implement these contents and report the results to the People's Committee of Kien Xuong District. At the meeting, Mr. Mai Xuan Doanh, the owner of the ferry, acknowledged and agreed with the contents in the minutes, and committed to comply with the requirements of the inspection team.
