Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Xuan Sang recently chaired an online meeting to appraise the detailed planning for the development of land and maritime areas of seaports for the period 2021–2030, with a vision toward 2050, in the central provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, Binh Dinh, and Binh Thuan.

During the meeting, the Appraisal Council conducted a vote and officially approved a detailed development plan for the land and maritime areas of Ha Tinh province's seaports for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision toward 2050.

According to the  plan, Ha Tinh’s seaport system includes Vung Ang Terminal, Son Duong Terminal, Xuan Hai - Xuan Pho Port, Cua Sot Port, Xuan Giang Oil Terminal, as well as anchorage areas, buoy berths, transshipment zones, and storm shelters.

Ha Tinh's seaport system is expected to handle between 46.3 million and 83.5 million tons of cargo by 2030. In terms of infrastructure, the plan outlines a total of 13 ports with between 36 and 44 berths, having a total quay length ranging from 7,509 m to 9,653 m. The plan also specifies the land and water area scopes to match the port scale and meet development requirements.

Looking toward 2050, the province's seaport system is expected to accommodate an annual cargo growth rate of 3.6% to 4.5%. The estimated land usage demand by 2030 is around 241 hectares, with the maritime area covering approximately 29,536 ha.

According to projections, the total investment required for the province's seaport system is over VND14 trillion (over $537 million).
