Saigon Newport Corporation to Speak at 2nd Port Development South East Asia Summit 2023
15/09/2023
A modern and well-managed port sector is crucial to South East Asia’s economic progress and expanding global trading routes. Development of the port infrastructure is, therefore, a growing priority in such an extensive archipelagic region of some 24,000 islands spanning 5,200km from east to west and 3,400km from north to south. Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines plan to upgrade or build new port facilities.
When it comes to Vietnam, Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh signed Decision 1579/QD-TTg in Sep. 2021, approving the master plan for the development of Vietnam's se
aport system in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision towards 2050. Vietnam will need 312.6 trillion VND ($13.3 billion) to develop a seaport system by 2030, according to the transport ministry, which recently said 78% of that capital would be reserved for developing ports and the rest for public maritime infrastructure. By 2024, the focus would be on upgrading Cai Mep-Thi Vai navigational channel to enable it to serve ships of up to 18,000 TEU and upgrading channels for large ships to enter the Hau, Van Uc, and Chanh rivers.
