According to the latest information from Superdong High-Speed Ferry Company - Kien Giang, the Superdong Con Dao I high-speed ferry will depart on its first journey on the Soc Trang - Con Dao route at 8 a.m. on July 14, 2017.
Exciting news: The high-speed ferry from Soc Trang to Con Dao, with a capacity of 306 passengers, is set to embark on its maiden voyage on July 14.
Con Dao is one of the most attractive tourist destinations, with great development potential and increasingly attracting many tourists. However, one of the major limitations to the tourism development of Con Dao is the limited transportation connection to the mainland, which significantly reduces the tourism advantages of Con Dao.
Therefore, Superdong has decided to open a new route from Tran De (Soc Trang) to Con Dao to provide more convenience for tourists and residents on the island. Accordingly, there will be one high-speed ferry with a capacity of 306 passengers departing from Soc Trang to Con Dao daily.
The Superdong Con Dao I high-speed ferry will embark on its first commercial journey on the Soc Trang - Con Dao route (Ba Ria - Vung Tau province) at 8 a.m. on July 14.
The meeting point for passengers in Sóc Trăng Province is the military port of Soc Trang Border Guard (at Tran De port), and the destination is Ben Dam port in Con Dao district (Ba Ria - Vung Tau).
Adult tickets cost 310,000 dong, while children tickets cost 230,000 dong. Passengers traveling from Ben Dam port to the center of Con Dao can take the bus, priced at 40,000 dong/ticket. Passengers wishing to return to Soc Trang depart at 13:00 every day from Ben Dam port.
In addition to adult and children tickets, Superdong Con Dao I offers two other types of tickets for the Soc Trang - Con Dao route: elderly (260,000 dong/ticket), and disabled (200,000 dong/ticket).
The ship is built in Malaysia with an investment of 50 billion dong, has 2 floors, 4 compartments, can accommodate 306 passengers, with an average speed of 26 nautical miles/hour. The travel time for the Soc Trang - Con Dao route is 150 minutes.
