Hanoi (VNA) – 🌳Vietnam’s master plan on developing domestic seaport network over the next 10 years, with a vision to 2050, will focus on the development of six major port clusters, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The has said.
The Minister made the remark during a recent conference of the Transport Ministry announcing the master plan.
The plan gives priority to upgrading the system of seaports in northern Hai Phong city, with an aim of turning Lach Huyen into a port serving container cargo, along with the port clusters in Thanh Hoa, Da Nang and Khanh Hoa in the central region, and Cai Mep (Ba Ria-Vung Tau) and Tran De (Soc Trang) in the south.
He said that a specific mechanism will be devised to seek consideration of the Prime Minister.
Deputy Transport Minister Nguyen Xuan Sang said that the plan was among national ones that receive the earliest approval of the Government. It holds significant meaning in realising socio-economic development and maritime economy strategies.
Under the plan, priority will also be given to international gateway ports, large-scale seaports and those serving tourism development and industrial parks.

Nearly 16.8 million TEUs of container cargo have been handled at Vietnamese seaports in the first eight months of 2021, up 18 percent from the same period last year, according the Vietnam Maritime Administration.
Vietnam’s seaports are set to handle about 1.14-1.42 billion tonnes of cargo, including 38-47 million TEUs of container goods, and welcomed 10.1 – 10.3 million passengers annually by 2030, according to a freshly approved master plan.
Vietnam’s seaports handled in excess of 537.7 million tonnes of goods in the first nine months of the year, posting a year-on-year rise of 3 percent, according to the Vietnam Maritime Administration.
