Nha Trang closes Cau Da tourist pier.

Previously, the People's Committee of Nha Trang City had issued a document agreeing to allow the Nha Trang Bay Management Board to proceed with the procedures for announcing the closure of the Cau Da tourist boat terminal inland waterway according to regulations.

The Cau Da tourist wharf, managed by the Nha Trang Bay Management Board, has been licensed by the Nha Trang Maritime Port Authority to operate as an inland waterway wharf.

In May 2020, the People's Committee of Nha Trang City issued a notice to cease tourist transportation services for sightseeing in Nha Trang Bay at Cau Da tourist pier, transferring them to Nha Trang tourist pier (Vinh Truong ward); watercraft serving local residents operating at Cau Da tourist pier were transferred to pier number 1 of Nha Trang port.

Mr. Huynh Binh Thai, head of the Nha Trang Bay Management Board, said: "Officially from today, the Cau Da tourist pier will cease operations. Plans will soon be made to relocate boats anchored on the water. Residents living on the islands in Nha Trang Bay can use Phu Quy port, An Vien urban area, and Vinh Truong ward for transportation."

Mr. Thai further stated that the Cau Da tourist wharf will be included in the Nha Trang City People's Committee's zoning plan (scale 1/2,000) for the Nha Trang port area and its surroundings in Vinh Nguyen and Vinh Truong wards, in order to concretize the Ministry of Transport's decision approving the detailed planning of the South Central coastal port group (group 4) for the period up to 2020, with a vision to 2030.

Specifically, it was determined that Nha Trang port would be developed into a seaport dedicated to tourism, capable of receiving international passenger ships with a tonnage of up to 225,000 GT.
