The new routes will be run by Seahorse Ferries Company for the cross country route, and Marine Passion through the islands.

The Chon Buri to Songkhla ferry officially launches November 08. 2021, though their website does not show any service bookable yet. They had planned on launching the service earlier but have been delayed due to the lack of travel from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The journey will be made on a triple-decker bought from Japan named the Blue Dolphin that was purchased by Seashore Ferries for 200 Million THB. The large boat can hold up to 80 commercial trucks and 20 cars, along with 586 passengers max. There are a variety of guest rooms on board as well as a restaurant, lobby and even an entertainment zone.
