As part of the country’s plan for seaport system development until 2020, the project will also help ease pressure on Nha Trang port, which will prioritise accommodating international tourist vessels in the future, he added.
The project has a total investment of nearly VND520 billion totally funded by Vinalines.
Once completed after 14 months of construction, the seaport’s new wharf is capable of receiving 50,000 DWT vessels or 30,000 DWT containers.
