Ninh Thuan (VNA) - A ceremony was held to mark the milestone of one million tonnes of cargo handled through Trung Nam Ca Na International Port for the first time in Phuoc Diem commune, Thuan Nam district, the south-central province of Ninh Thuan, on January 10.
The port, operational since April 2022, has become a vital logistics hub for Vietnam's south-central coast.
Nguyen Minh Sang, Operations Director of Ca Na Port, highlighted the port’s role in easing congestion at major ports in the southeastern region and Ho Chi Minh City. It also bolsters economic growth in Ninh Thuan, aiming for sustainable development, he said.
The port has handled diverse goods, particularly industrial products such as granite, cement, and construction materials, essential for regional infrastructure.
Built with an investment of 5.6 trillion VND (221 million USD) on a planned area of the port spans over 85.5 hectares, the port consists of two berths for handling general cargo, containers, and bulk cargo, with a capacity of up to 100,000 DWT. Since its launch, cargo volume has quadrupled to nearly 850,000 tonnes in 2024.
At the ceremony, Tran Quoc Nam, Chairman of the Ninh Thuan People’s Committee, underscored the port's importance in driving the province's integration into national and global economies. The project aligns with Ninh Thuan's focus on developing transport and port infrastructure.
Future expansions include a second berth slated for completion in 2027, along with enhanced logistics networks and connections to key energy projects such as LNG plants and offshore wind farms. These efforts position Ninh Thuan as an emerging industrial and logistics hub, unlocking new opportunities for growth and investment./.
