The Cat Lai Ferry Enterprise has launched a 200-ton ferry, funded by the city, which will double the capacity of current ferries at Cat Lai Station on the HCMC-Dong Nai route.
Tran Minh Thanh, director of the enterprise, said vehicle circulation in the first six months of this year increased 30% compared with the same period last year.
The daily circulation was 45,000 vehicles (including 3,500 cars) leading to traffic congestion in rush hour at the station.
The new ferry will restrict traffic jams and shorten the waiting time.
Thanh said vehicles traveling from the Mekong Delta to Vung Tau will shorten their journey 40 kilometers if they use the ferry. The ferry has space for 40 four-seat cars, 16 light trucks and 500 passengers.
