Port Facility in 2020
1) Port Development up to 2020
The required facilities to handle cargo in 2020 are roughly estimated based
on future volume and current capacity. The necessary capacity to be
prepared is estimated at 135.0 million tons in Vietnam. Container terminal
shall be developed to handle 5.9 million TEU: 1.7 million TEU in the north, 1.4
million TEU in the center and 2.8 million TEU in the south.
Break bulk in the north and south and liquid bulk in all three regions will
exceed 5 million tons corresponding to Dung Quat Oil Project. Mechanized,
efficient handling systems shall be introduced to handle the above
commodity.
