On November 7, big capacity vehicles with nearly 200 passengers, 70 tonnes of essential commodities, 25 tonnes of petroleum and hundreds of tanks of gas landed on the island, just off the coast of Quang Ngai province.

The goods helped lessen people’s hardships on island after 15 days of supply interruptions due to rough seas. However, officials said the provisions do not meet people’s demand as rough seas are likely to continue.

Rice agents and retail traders are gearing for transporting essential commodities to Ly Son Island.
