The city’s management unit of priority infrastructure projectssaid the port construction plan will be following the country’s master plan onthe seaport system until 2030, making it a key port in the central region andthe third largest port system in Vietnam.
The 20-berth port, which was designed to handle from 40 million to50 million tonnes of cargo in 2050, will be used as the main logistics centrefor the north-south railway and road systems and the East-West EconomicCorridor No 2 (EWEC2) connecting Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam via DaNang port system, the unit managing board said.
It said the first phase of the construction in 2021-25 willinclude two 750m berths for container ships with a loading capacity of8,000TEUs (100,000DWT), a 7.3km shipping lane and a 1.17km water breaker dykesystem.
A 6-lane 2.95km coastal road connecting the national road systemand the port and a 1.2km inner port road will be built in 2022-25.
It’s expected that 12 more berths for container ships and liquidcargo vessels will be added to help the port increase its capacity to 25million tonnes in 2030.
A six-berth integrated port and an inner port along with a 90halogistic centre will be invested in 2050, making the Lien Chieu Port aninternational entrance port – the third in Vietnam after Lach Huyen Port in HaiPhong city and Cai Mep-Thi Vai in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.
The construction of the Lien Chieu Port will help ease theoverloaded Tien Sa Port – which currently hosts both cruise and cargoships.
According to the transport ministry, the development of Lien ChieuPort would turn the central city into a main international-standard logisticscentre for Vietnam, ASEAN and the Asia Pacific region as the city is oneof the key gateways to the East Sea from the sub-Mekong region./.
