Shipping and Ports<br />

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 />
