Director General

Mr. Kritpetch Chaichuay

Director General of Marine Department

“In recent years, ensuring the safety of river transportation has become increasingly important, especially in the Mekong River.
To address this growing concern, the development of a Mekong Navigation Website dedicated to collecting information on safety
in the Mekong River is crucial.
 
Furthermore, The website will act as a centralized platform for collecting and analyzing data related to safety. It will gather
information on fairways, ports, fleet, legal and regulations related to the Mekong River. By systematically collecting and analyzing
this data, the website will contribute to a better understanding of the safety landscape, enabling stakeholders to make informed
decisions and take proactive measures.

Lastly, Marine Department, as the development of a website dedicated to safety in the Mekong River will play a vital role in
enhancing safety measures. By consolidating data, sharing resources, facilitating collaboration, and providing a reporting system,
the website will contribute to a safer and more secure environment for river transportation operators and local communities.
Together, we can work towards a more resilient and protected Mekong River.”
