Vietnam requires an estimated VND351.5 trillion to enhance its port infrastructure by 2030, according to a national plan covering seaports, terminals, quays, mooring buoys, and water zones for the 2021-2030 period, with a long-term vision to 2050.
Of the total investment, around VND72.8 trillion is allocated for maritime infrastructure, while the rest will go toward port terminals. The development plan earmarks approximately 33,800 hectares for port expansion, including the Can Gio international transshipment terminal and related logistics zones. About 17,300 hectares will be dedicated to port operations, with an estimated 606,000 hectares designated for water surface use.
Key investment priorities include the construction of the Van Uc River-Nam Do Son channel, the expansion of the Hai Phong maritime channel, and dredging projects in the Cam Pha area and Hon Net transhipment anchorage to accommodate vessels up to 200,000 DWT. The plan also promotes investments in strategic seaport projects, including Van Phong and Tran De.
