According to the An Giang Provincial Hydro-Meteorological Station, the An Giang sea area is experiencing unusually strong winds. This is due to an equatorial low-pressure trough combined with upper-level easterly wind disturbances. Winds are currently at levels 4-5, with gusts reaching levels 6-7, and wave heights are between 1,5 and 2,5 meters.

Phu Quoc, located in the southwest, is a popular destination, situated 120 km east of Rach Gia city and 45 km west of Ha Tien city. The island typically sees more than 30 high-speed ferry services daily from the mainland.

Passengers who have purchased tickets can contact the ferry operators for refunds or to reschedule their trips.
