7) Port EDI Development<br />
The EDI system allows the exchange of basic information and schedule about<br />
cargoes and vessels. Individual companies, such as ocean liners and trading<br />
firms, have urged the adoption of this system, but stronger efforts will be<br />
required to promote its use by all industries involved in international trading.<br />
To facilitate this target, at the 1993 general meeting of the Transportation<br />
Working Group of the APEC, commercial activities of international<br />
transportation service agencies for the spread of and promotion of the EDI<br />
system in the APEC region were approved.<br />
Phase I up to 2005: Planning and evaluation shall be conducted on the EDI<br />
system. The pilot program will be installed and a simulation will be applied on<br />
all stages of trading activities to clarify necessary rearrangement of relevant<br />
systems. Investment cost is US$ 2 million.<br />
Phase II up to 2010: The EDI system shall be established and will be made<br />
compatible with all related international maritime systems. VINAMARINE, port<br />
authorities and international general ports will be connected through EDI links.<br />
Investment cost is US$ 8 million.<br />
5.4 Investment Plan<br />
The port development plan includes the construction of a new berth and<br />
rehabilitation of the existing one. The required number of berths by project is<br />
listed in Table 5.4.1. Without an available feasibility study, the exact number<br />
cannot be determined. The investment cost is estimated at approximately<br />
US$ 1.4 billion (see Table 5.4.2).<br />
