A checklist based on notices from the Phu Quoc special zone People's Committee and the An Giang Department of Construction. Quotes stay in the original Vietnamese.
- Ask for the vessel type and registered seat count
Passenger boats in the special zone are rated SB, or SI and area IV, from 10 up to 45 seats. Ask the tour operator for the vessel class and registered seat count. The class says nothing about sea conditions on the day.
"Theo thống kê của Phòng Văn hóa - Xã hội đặc khu Phú Quốc, toàn đặc khu hiện có 130 phương tiện ca nô đăng ký hoạt động do 63 chủ phương tiện, doanh nghiệp quản lý, khai thác, trong đó 74 chiếc tiêu chuẩn SB, 56 chiếc tiêu chuẩn SI và vùng IV. Phương tiện nhỏ nhất 10 ghế, lớn nhất 45 ghế."
- A life jacket for everyone aboard
The notice requires fully equipped life jackets and flotation gear. Put the life jacket on before the boat leaves the pier.
"... phương tiện được đăng ký, đăng kiểm, không chở quá tải, quá số người quy định, trang bị đầy đủ áo phao, dụng cụ nổi cứu sinh, bố trí thuyền viên có chứng chỉ chuyên môn hợp pháp, từ chối xuất bến khi thời tiết xấu."
- No more passengers than the permitted number
Border guards compare the actual passenger list with the registered list before departure. If there are clearly more guests than seats, ask again or do not board.
"Ban Chỉ huy Biên phòng Cửa khẩu cảng Dương Đông và Đồn Biên phòng Cửa khẩu cảng An Thới được giao kiểm soát chặt chẽ người, phương tiện ra vào vùng nước cảng biển, kiên quyết không cấp phép xuất bến khi có cảnh báo thời tiết xấu, áp thấp nhiệt đới hoặc gió lớn; đối chiếu danh sách hành khách thực tế với danh sách đăng ký trước khi tàu rời bến."
- Automatic identification (AIS) and voyage monitoring
The Department of Construction asks operators to fit and keep AIS and voyage monitoring devices running. Guests cannot check this themselves; ask the tour operator whether the boat has them.
"Các đơn vị kinh doanh vận tải trang bị, duy trì hoạt động thiết bị nhận dạng tự động (AIS), thiết bị giám sát hành trình để theo dõi, cảnh báo khi có tình huống bất thường..."
- Rough sea: the operator must refuse to depart
Under the notice the operator must refuse to depart in bad weather. When the sea is rough or a warning is out, ask the tour operator about the departure decision and the change or refund terms before boarding. The sea level on this page is a reference index only.
"Các chủ tàu phải bố trí đủ thuyền viên có chứng chỉ chuyên môn hợp pháp, kiên quyết từ chối xuất bến trong điều kiện thời tiết xấu ..."
