On July 19, 2025, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo Ward issued Decision No. 85/QD-XPHC, imposing an administrative penalty on Ngoc Bao Kien Company Limited for failing to meet the requirements for the operating area for each sport (taking jet skis to pick up and drop off passengers outside the operating dock), as stipulated in Decree No. 46/2019/ND-CP dated May 27, 2019 of the Government regulating administrative penalties in the field of sports.

Previously, to rectify the situation of jet skis frequently speeding, approaching the beach area to solicit visitors, potentially causing accidents for bathers, the leaders of Cua Lo Ward People's Committee directed the implementation of many measures to rectify tourism business activities, focusing on thoroughly handling the situation of jet skis operating spontaneously, causing unsafety for tourists on the beach.
