HCMC – Hue City has approved an investment plan to build berth No.6 at Chan May Port in the Chan May–Lang Co Economic Zone, with more than VND928 billion required.
According to the city government, the project will cover more than 15.5 hectares, including about 13.2 hectares of land and nearly 2.3 hectares of water surface.
The port system will include one berth for general cargo, containers, bulk and liquid cargo vessels of up to 70,000 tons, and two additional berths for ships of up to 10,000 tons. Supporting facilities will include technical infrastructure, warehouses, machinery and equipment to ensure smooth cargo handling and storage.
Equity capital must account for at least 20% of the total investment, with the remainder to be mobilized from other lawful sources.
Once completed, berth No.6 will provide services such as cargo handling, warehousing, freight transport and related logistics support. Investors will be entitled to incentives in accordance with regulations on investment, land and taxation, and must complete relevant procedures with competent authorities.
The project comes as Hue continues to strengthen Chan May Port’s infrastructure after severe damage caused by historic storms and floods in October and November 2025. The city has proposed central Government support of VND900 billion for phase three of the northern breakwater at Chan May Port.
Earlier, Hue invested more than VND700 billion in phase one of the breakwater project from 2018 to 2020, building a 450-meter structure that helped raise operational efficiency at berths 1, 2 and 3 to over 97% annually. Phase two, launched in October 2022, has an investment of nearly VND760 billion and a length of 300 meters.
The breakwater system is designed to protect and improve operations at berths 4, 5 and 6, while enhancing container transport capacity at the port.
Chan May is a deep-water port with a key role in Vietnam’s central coastal port network. However, it is frequently affected by large waves, storms and strong ocean currents, making infrastructure investment critical to maintaining stable and safe operations.
