Last year, the government issued a decree providing instructions for the classification of seaports.

Under the decree, Vietnamese seaports are classified based on their scale and sphere of influence.

The scale of a seaport is evaluated through the total volume of cargo and the maximum size of vessels it can handle. The sphere of influence is judged by a port’s functions, for example, whether a seaport can act as an international gateway or serve socio-economic development at national, regional or provincial scales./.
