Dong Bai ferry terminal officially comes into operation from March 1, 2024, replacing Got ferry terminal 4 km away, continuing to connect the mainland with Cat Ba island (Cat Hai District, Hai Phong). Dong Bai ferry terminal infrastructure was invested and built by a business on their land, then leased to Hai Phong City to use to replace the old Got ferry terminal.

From the new Dong Bai ferry terminal to Cai Vieng wharf is 120m farther than the old ferry terminal. However, due to the choice of means and depending on wind direction and tide, the ferry's journey will be longer than the old ferry terminal. Ferry time between the two wharves is about 35-40 minutes/trip.

This new ferry terminal is expected to reduce congestion and shorten the waiting time of tourists when coming to Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong.
