Ho Chi Minh City is accelerating preparations to break ground on a series of large-scale seaport projects, as part of efforts to strengthen its logistics capacity and maintain its role as the country’s economic engine, according to the city's Department Construction.
These projects, scheduled for groundbreaking on the occasion of the 51th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975 – 2026), are considered crucial to developing a modern seaport and logistics system and enhancing the competitiveness of southern Vietnam.
Three major projects have been identified, including the Cai Mep Ha General and Container Port (Phase 1), the Cai Mep Gemadept – Terminal Link Port (Phase 2), and the Can Gio International Transshipment Port. Each project involves investment ranging from tens to hundreds of trillions of dong and is expected to play a pivotal role in establishing an international cargo transshipment hub in the region.
To accelerate progress, the Department of Construction has urged relevant agencies to support investors in completing legal procedures, particularly land-use conversion, environmental impact assessments, and planning approvals.
If implemented on schedule, the projects are expected to significantly boost cargo throughput, reduce logistics costs, and support sustainable economic growth across the southern key economic region.
