Quang Ninh attracts seaport service businesses
A workshop aimed at
promoting seaport services in the northwestern province of Quang
Ninh was held on December 18, drawing the participation of many
domestic and foreign businesses.
The event, co-organised by the
provincial People’s Committee and the Cai Lan International Container
Terminal (CICT), offered a chance for the province to strengthen
relations and seek investments from businesses operating in the field.
At
the workshop, participants provided an overall view of the capacity of
supplying seaport and transport services in the province.
Patrick
Avice, CICT General Director, spoke highly of positive signs in seaport
investment cooperation, saying that many businesses operating in the
areas of temporary import and re-export and logistics services are
looking for opportunities to invest in seaports in Quang Ninh in general
and the Cai Lan Port in particular.
He cited Maersk Line
and MCC Transport’s launch of its services at Cai Lan Port to
receive imported goods and boost exports, which showed the
attractiveness of seaport services in Quang Ninh to domestic and foreign
investors.
With 250 km of coastline and many deepwater ports,
Quang Ninh boasts its competitive edge in developing the seaport
economy, especially when the Yen Vien-Pha Lai-Bai Chay railway is put
into operation.
In the coming time, the province will increase
activities to promote cooperation and investment in seaport services
along with developing seaport infrastructure. In addition, it will
develop a number of specialised ports such as Hai Ha, Cam Pha, Van Gia,
Mui Chua, Van Hoa, Van Dong and Yen Hung and a comprehensive logistic
system to meet customers’ demand.-VNA
