Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The Ministry of Construction has approved a detailed development plan for the port system in the northern port city of Hai Phong to 2030 which earmarks more than 66 trillion VND (2.6 billion USD) to improve the capacity of the largest northern port hub.
Accordingly, Hai Phong will develop 61-73 terminals in zones included Lach Huyen, Dinh Vu, Cam River – Pha Rung, Nam Do Son, Van Uc, Bach Long Vi Island as well as anchorages and storm shelters.

By 2030, the development plan foresees a total land use of 1,638 hectares and water use of over 116,000 hectares. The port system development is estimated to need around 78 trillion VND (3 billion USD) in total investment, more than 66 trillion VND will be allocated to the port infrastructure development, while the rest will fund public maritime infrastructure.
Lach Huyen terminal zone is expected to handle up to 90 million tonnes of cargo and 11,000 passengers per year by 2030. There will be 18 berths in the zone capable of receiving vessels of up to 18,000 TEUs.
