Cruise safety in Ha Long reported enhanced
BBC television has just published the result of its examination on the safety of cruises in Ha Long Bay via a short documentary broadcasted on its channel.
BBC television has recently published the findings of its investigation into the safety of cruises in Ha Long Bay, featured in a short documentary aired on its channel. According to the report, the safety standards of Ha Long cruises have improved significantly since 2015.
The report highlights that one of the key indicators of this improvement is the local government's initiative to re-test the safety protocols of cruise ships. As part of these regulations, there has been a ban on the construction of new wooden ships. All newly approved vessels must now be constructed from metal and equipped with sufficient safety and rescue equipment.
The involvement of international experts further supports the commitment of local companies to enhance the safety of their vessels.
Based on estimates by the BBC, with the diligent efforts of local authorities and cruise operators, alongside effective promotional campaigns showcasing the bay's allure through various media channels, Ha Long is re-establishing its reputation as a safe and attractive destination for international travelers. This revitalization is particularly crucial following the unfortunate cruise accidents that occurred in previous years.
