Da Nang (VNS/VNA) - The Da Nang Port Joint Stock Company has started operating a new container yard on 37,000sq.m after two years of construction at its Tien Sa Port, providing space for 110,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) and increasing capacity at the port.
The port authorities said containers account for 60% of the total cargo through the port each year, a figure that has grown annually by 15%.
According to the port authorities, the container yard – built behind piers 4 and 5 – was part of a strategic master plan for developing Tien Sa Port for specialised container services as well as services for cruise and large cargo ships.
The port now has expanded its area to 30ha and can handle container ships up to 50,000DWT (deadweight tonnage). It can also handle break-bulk vessels and 168,000GT (gross tonnage) cruise ships.
Last year, Tien Sa Port received 12.2 million tonnes of cargo.
