“The Lien Chieu Container Port project is a large-scale seaport infrastructure project in Central Viet Nam, envisioned to become a modern container port and an international transshipment hub that meets green port standards. The project aligns with the detailed master plan for seaport groups, terminals, piers, mooring buoys, and maritime zones for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050.”
“The master plan includes eight container berths totalling 2,750 meters capable of handling vessels with up to 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The port is designed with an annual handling capacity of around 5.7 million TEUs, equivalent to 74 million tons.”
“It also features a 5,000-ton barge berth to support cargo consolidation and distribution, contributing to easing pressure on road transport and lowering logistics costs.”
“Additionally, the project includes a cargo yard for rail transport, directly connecting the Lien Chieu terminal to the national railway network via a dedicated rail link of approximately 1.5 kilometer to Kim Lien Station.”
“APM Terminals, one of the world’s largest container port operators, is part of the AP Moller-Maersk Group. The company manages container terminals and provides integrated inland and cargo services, operating more than 70 port and terminal facilities in 38 countries across five continents.”

“The Danang Free Trade Zone (FTZ), the first of its kind in Vietnam, was announced in mid-2025. In addition, the Vietnam International Financial Centre in Danang officially began operations at the beginning of 2026.”
