However, by the end of July 2024, the investor announced a temporary suspension of operations. The company cited many shortcomings in access when the ship departed from Saigon - Hiep Phuoc Port (Nha Be District, Ho Chi Minh City), far from the center of Ho Chi Minh City, passengers had to take a transfer or travel to the port themselves, which took a lot of time, so few passengers chose this option.
