Shipping and Ports<br />

There are many private ports and a few small public ports currently operating<br />

in the area, except for the alternate Saigon port project. Similarly, many ports<br />

are distributed in the Mekong delta. Among them, the largest and most<br />

promising is the Can Tho port which, after its rehabilitation and expansion, will<br />

enable direct exports of agricultural and fishery products to neighboring<br />

countries. Endowed with a developed inland waterway network, other delta<br />

ports, such as Vinh Thai, Cao Lanh, My Tho, Nam Can, My Thoi, etc., can be<br />

made more accessible to Can Tho port and the HCMC port groups.
