Quang Ngai (VNA) – The seaport system in the central province of Quang Ngai will need about 10.83 trillion VND (423.54 million USD) in investment by 2030, according to the detailed development plan for local seaport land and water areas for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050.
According to the plan, recently approved by the Ministry of Construction, the estimated funding demand consists of about 2.87 trillion VND for public maritime infrastructure and 7.96 trillion VND for cargo terminal infrastructure.
About 217ha of land and 28,650ha of water surface are needed under this plan by 2030.
By 2030, the local seaport system is expected to handle 47.2–48.2 million tonnes of cargo, and 1.13–1.26 million passengers.
Under the blueprint, Quang Ngai will be home to 11 terminals with 41 berths, spanning over 8,251m in total length. New terminals will be developed to meet the cargo clearance demand, expected to grow by 4.5–5.5% annually through 2050.
By 2030, public maritime infrastructure will be developed, maintaining the current fairway capacity of serving vessels of up to 200,000 tonnes.
The development plan also emphasises seamless connectivity, integrating roadways, railways, inland waterways, and coastal routes within the national infrastructure network.
Specialised facilities are also included in the plan such as the Dung Quat shipyard terminal, a yacht marina, and those for state agencies, research, training, and maritime services./.
