The Marine Department has decided to launch a study to determine the feasibility of constructing a cruise ship terminal on Koh Samui in Surat Thani province.
In an attempt to gauge the private sector's interest in the proposed cruise ship terminal project, the department launched a seminar in Bangkok on Tuesday. The seminar, chaired by the director of the department's engineering division Wanchai Butthongdee, weighed the pros and cons of using a public-private partnership (PPP) model to fund the terminal's construction.
