Original 2019 article
On February 14, 2019, Phu Quoc Express launched the largest double-hulled high-speed ship, named the Con Dao Express 36, at Cau Da Jetty – Vung Tau City.
Con Dao Express 36 – the largest catamaran in Vietnam with a capacity of 600 passengers from Cau Da port – Vung Tau City and to Ben Dam port – Con Dao after 3 hours.
With the design of a modern European – standard catamaran, length of 46.85 m and width of 12.2 m, Con Dao Express 36 may accommodate 598 passengers when operation, the vessel is highly stable and spacious cabins bring great comfort, which helps crew members as well as passengers get rid of tiredness and the syndrome “seasickness”, promising to bring the smoothest and safest voyage.
Con Dao Express 36 is equipped with 4 Roll – Royce MTU 12V4000M53 machines with a total capacity of 7402 horsepower and the maximum speed of up to 35 knots, which will dramatically shorten the time needed to travel from Vung Tau to Con Dao in just 3 hours.
