Hi,
A few months ago I learned that the boats that usually can transport us to Vung Tau were closed due to a fire, but recently I've heard that they are back. I tried to look up for news talking about that without success.
Are they actually back ? If yes, where can I take them ?
Thank you
Are the boat transportation back?

Looks like something to amble along some quaint European canal system.
I wonder how tough it actually is.
It's got to get through the tidal effect at the mouth of the river and navigate about the flotsam on the the entire journey.
The twin hull set up doesn't seem so safe for faster brown water travel.
Those old Soviet hydros were tough as nails.And with the nose up on the plane saved the front end from debris.
It's just that they wore out and never got properly updated/maintained.
