Saigon Newport Corporation accompanies enterprises from the Netherlands in "Sustainable development of seaports and airports" Seminar

In the context of expanded administrative boundaries, the Ho Chi Minh City area is entering a new phase of large-scale seaport and aviation infrastructure development. After its planned merger with Binh Duong Province and Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province, the regional system of 98 terminals is expected to achieve a total throughput of more than 330 million tons of cargo per year, in which the Cai Mep – Thi Vai port complex has been continuously ranked by the World Bank and S&P Global among the world’s Top 10 most efficient container ports.
 

Recognizing the strong growth potential of the seaport and aviation sector, the business community from the Netherlands organized the seminar with the participation of Mr. Bui Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City; Ms. Aukje de Vries, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Netherlands; Mr. Kees Van Baar, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Vietnam; and Ms. Raissa Marteaux, Consul General of the Netherlands in Ho Chi Minh City.

At the event, businesses from the two countries discussed development policies, models for green infrastructure investment and solutions to enhance sustainable maritime capacity. Many international experts assessed that Vietnam needs to focus green resources, strengthen maritime access channels and invest synchronously to drive strong growth of the national seaport system in the coming period.
