The Party Committee of northern Hai Phong port city has approved the master plan to develop a 20,000 ha coastal economic zone (EZ) in its southern part.

Spanning the districts of Do Son, Kien Thuy, An Lao, Tien Lang and Vinh Bao, this will be the second coastal EZ in the city after Dinh Vu-Cat Hai EZ.

The establishment of the South Hai Phong EZ is one of measures to help the city to fulfill the target of becoming a modern, smart and sustainable industrial city in Southeast Asia, according to Mr. Le Trung Kien, Head of the city’s EZ Management Board.

The new EZ will house important infrastructure projects including Tien Lang airport, Nam Do Son port, a coastal expressway and two rail routes.

By 2030, the EZ is envisioned to become one of key economic drivers of the city.
