Vietnam’s First Cable Car System Over Sea Inaugurated

March 11, 2007 - PRLog -- The VND96 billion (US$6 million) telpher system, built by Vinpearl resort, has 48 cable cars, each able to carry eight people.

It takes nine minutes to travel across the sea and costs VND50,000 (US$3.1).

However, its opening is tinged with controversy. Last week a foreign cruise ship initially threatened to bypass Nha Trang after being refused permission to enter the port and asked to dock offshore. The vessel was told that at 50 meters it was a meter too high for the telpher system’s clearance.

The captain later relented and brought the vessel to the town.
