Tourist boats seek to return to Bach Dang Wharf






The six firms are Tau Ben Nghe Co. Ltd., My Canh Travel Service Co.Ltd., 168 Floating Restaurant Co. Ltd., Ben Du Thuyen Co. Ltd., VinaExpress JSC and Quang Hung Transport Service Co.


They said in a document sent to leaders of the city in mid-June thatthey had been struggling with a host of difficulties since the citydecided to not renew the operation license of Bach Dang Wharf andordered boat operators to leave the wharf from March 30.


Restaurant boats have not found new berths while hydrofoil operatorshave had difficulty looking for appropriate piers to pick up theirpassengers. Some have had to go to other provinces or sold their boatsto cut losses.


Tau Ben Nghe, My Canh Travel Service, 168 Floating Restaurant and BenDu Thuyen have asked the Saigon Port Authority for assistance but to noavail. These firms said they would have to dismantle their boats if theyhit the dead end.


They proposed the city government and relevant agencies considerpermitting boat operations at Bach Dang Wharf. They wanted the localgovernment, the HCMC departments of transport and planning-architectureto help them find a passenger pier for their boats in the daytime and aplace for restaurant boats to operate at Bach Dang Wharf at night untilwork starts on an upgrade project at the wharf.


At the end of last year, the transport department informed theoperators of tourist and restaurant boats at the wharf that the citygovernment would not renew the wharf’s operation license upon expiry onDecember 31. However, the city government later told the department toallow the boats to stay until the middle of January.


The department said the decision was to upgrade Bach Dang Wharf in linewith a zoning plan for the area. After the upgrade project is finished,the government of HCMC will decide whether to let tourist boats operateat the wharf or not.
