At the event

Built by Factory X70 under the Naval Technical Department, each canoe is 7.69 m in length and 2.34 m in width, and its hull is made of composite materials. Its sandwich-shaped three-layer structure is highly durable, bump-resistant and abrasion-resistant. It has a maximum displacement of 2.8 tones, can run at a speed of 25 nautical miles per hour, and can carry up to 6 persons. Its reinforced bed is hard to break so the canoe can slide over coral reefs or pebbles.

Speaking at the ceremony, Rear Admiral Doan Van Chieu thanked Vingroup’s leaders and staff for their sentiment, responsibilities and practical deeds for the national seas and islands in general and Truong Sa troops in particular. He also hoped that Truong Sa and naval troops would receive more concern from Vingroup.
