About Sa Ky Port
The Quang Ngai Provincial Port Authority runs Sa Ky Port on the mainland, Ben Dinh Port on Ly Son's main island, An Vinh Pier on the island's west side and An Binh Pier on Little Island. It sells tickets for An Vinh Express, Super Bien Dong, Sieu Toc Hoa Binh and Phu Quoc Express, and the first three sell only through the authority. Phu Quoc Express also sells through its own channel.
Sa Ky Port is on the mainland in Dinh Tan Hamlet, Dong Son Commune, not on Ly Son. For the mainland crossing and operator comparison, see the ferry to Ly Son page.
