This is the part of a project which aimed to push the development of tourism by replacing all of the wooden boats which have been used for many years by metal boats over the next five years to provide better and safer services to tourists.

Currently, there are 553 tourist boats operated in Ha Long and Bai Tu Long bays, in which, 202 boats are docked overnight.

In 2015, the two bays welcomed 2.5 millions of tourists.  Meanwhile, with the number of ships like that, they can serve maximum 10 million tourists, that means there are too many ships working ineffectively.

The authorities of Quang Ninh province has just issued a temporary regulation which allows wooden boats to operate for maximum 15 years instead of 25 years as regulated before.
