Hue (VNA) – Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hue city Nguyen Khac Toan on January 15 granted in-principle approval to an investment project to build Wharf No.6 at Chan May Port in the Chan May – Lang Co Economic Zone.
The project will cover more than 15.5 hectares, including over 13.2 hectares of land and nearly 2.3 hectares of water surface. It will feature a pier for general cargo, container, bulk and liquid goods vessels up to 70,000 tonnes, along with two additional piers for ships up to 10,000 tonnes, supported by technical infrastructure, warehouses, machinery, and equipment to ensure efficient cargo handling.
The total investment is estimated at over 928 billion VND (approximately 35.3 million USD), with at least 20% contributed capital and the remainder mobilised from other sources. The wharf will be equipped with port technical facilities, storage, transportation systems, and related logistics services to support comprehensive port operations.
The project’s investor is eligible for investment incentives under relevant investment, land, and tax laws and is responsible for determining the applicable benefits and completing the required procedures with the tax, finance, customs, and other relevant authorities.
Following severe storms and floods in October and November last year, Hue city requested 900 billion VND from the central budget to fund the third phase of the northern breakwater at Chan May Port.
In the first phase from 2018 to 2020, the city invested over 700 billion VND to build a 450-metre concrete-covered stone breakwater, ensuring more than 97% operational uptime at the wharfs No. 1, 2 and 3, and safety in port operations.
Meanwhile, the second phase of the Chan May Port’s 300-metre breakwater project, which began in October 2022, has a total investment of nearly 760 billion VND. The structure protects and facilitates efficient operations at the wharfs No. 4, 5, and 6, while enhancing container-handling capacity at the port.
As a deep-water facility, Chan May Port plays a key role in the central port system but is frequently affected by strong waves, storms, and ocean currents./.
