“By 2030, the seaport system of HCM City (after the administrative merger with Binh Duong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau) will need to handle between 440.8 million and 531.8 million tonnes of cargo, according to forecasts.”
“As the Government is adjusting the national master plan for 2021–2030 with a vision to 2050, which sets a target of sustained double-digit economic growth (over 10%) during 2026–2030, cargo volumes passing through the city’s seaports are expected to rise even further.”
“With these advantages, HCM City has been striving to raise the share of international transshipment cargo there. The target is to reach 10% by 2030, and 20-25% during the 2030–2050 period.”
“In addition, an inland waterway transport and logistics corridor in southern Vietnam linking the Mekong Delta with Cai Mep, funded by the World Bank, is being implemented.According to the municipal Department of Construction, investment in the Can Gio international transshipment port project has been approved in principle by the Prime Minister.”
“Once constructed and put into operation, together with the completion of the Cai Mep Ha terminals, the two port areas will complement each other in forming a gateway port system capable of competing with major seaports in Asia and worldwide.”
