The Ministry of Construction has approved a detailed plan for the development of Hau Giang Seaport's land and water areas for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision toward 2050.

According to the plan, the seaport's designated land and water areas will encompass the Hau Giang wharf area on the Hau River on the territory of the Mekong Delta province of Can Tho. This area is located on the left bank of the Dinh An - Can Tho channel, in the section between Cai Cui Canal and Cai Con Canal.

The plan sets a target for 2030 to achieve a cargo throughput of 12.4 to 15.3 million tons, including 80,000 TEUs of container cargo. To support this capacity, infrastructure will be developed to include a total of 10 terminals with 18-20 berths, spanning a combined length of 2,855 to 3,255 m.

Looking ahead to 2050, the vision is for cargo throughput to grow at an average annual rate of 5.5% to 6.1%. The development will continue with the construction of new terminals to meet the rising demand for cargo handling.

The total land required by 2030 under the plan is approximately 482.7 ha, which does not include areas for port-related industrial zones and logistics centers. Additionally, the plan allocates around 415 ha for water surface use. The total investment capital required for the terminals by 2030 is estimated at over VND2 trillion ($76.4 million), a figure that covers only the terminals providing commercial cargo handling services.
